The planned separation of FedEx Freight into a new publicly traded entity, NewCo, presents significant risks for FedEx Corporation, which may impact its strategic and financial objectives. The complexity of the transaction, coupled with dependency on factors beyond FedEx’s control, such as market conditions and regulatory approvals, poses challenges that could delay or alter the separation. Additionally, the potential for substantial costs and operational disruptions, along with uncertainties surrounding tax-free treatment, may outweigh the anticipated benefits of the separation. This uncertainty could result in volatility in FedEx’s stock price and impact its ability to execute broader strategic initiatives.

Overall, Wall Street has a Moderate Buy consensus rating on FDX stock based on 14 Buys, 1 Sell and 5 Holds.
