Fed Ex En Fuego
FedEx (FDX) is an indisputable leader in the global business-to-business express delivery space.The firm is aggressively expanding, cutting costs, and doing just about everything a strong operation is supposed to be doing to improve profitability.
That must explain why the stock hit a 52 week high on Tuesday.
Although UPS (UPS) is less leveraged to the air cargo & freight business (which demands higher Cap Ex and fluctuates accordingly with fuel spikes), it's clear that investors are optimistic about Fed Ex's ability to compete with its long time arch-nemesis, even as the latter sustains its higher margin categories and keeps the European market on lock-down.
In any event, Fed Ex's chart looks better, corroborating our feeling that stronger bullish sentiment exists among the Fed Ex crowd and that there is less upside in UPS.
