While this article compares UPS and FedEx, it also includes projections of growth for the industry and has a lot of financial information about FedEx.

In the context of our negotiations - It reminds me of the proverbial airline captain that grimaces when he puts a tip down and always has a heated exchange with cab drivers over the fare.

Comparing America's 2 Largest Air Delivery And Freight Services Companies - FedEx Corporation (NYSE:FDX) | Seeking Alpha


Where Air Delivery & Freight Services industry is expected to outperform the S&P broader market substantially this and next quarters, significantly in 2015, and marginally beyond, the two largest U.S. companies in the space are expected to split perform over the immediate term, with FedEx greatly outperforming the broader market while UPS swings from under- to out-. The two should then continue to outgrow the market in 2015 and beyond, with FedEx leading the way.

If I could only invest in one or the other, it would be FDX. FDX stock has outperformed UPS stock every year since 2000, at which point my data stops.

while I "get" your question, if the shares increase, does this not benefit the retirement plan in place at FDX ? 401(k) etc ? Are employees not shareholders also ?

While we do have an employee stock purchase program, FDX stock is not an intrinsic part of our A, B plan or 401k. The only FDX stock I "own" is as part of a mutual fund in my B plan or 401k. On the other hand, some management types get stock options as part of their bonus system.

OK didn't know. I would have thought (aka assumed) a major corporation like FDX would offer this. Oh well

They did, but they terminated the employee stock purchase plan back in 1991, I believe. Their reasoning was that too many employees were only keeping the stock short term and making a minimum of 15% on their investment, so instead of making it a requirement to hold the stock for some longer length of time, they just terminated the program.

They only terminated the employee discount. The purchase plan is still intact.

Expect FedEx To Continue To Rebound

Dec. 21, 2014

During this quarter, FedEx did not deliver the results which investors had been expecting.

But with low gas prices and healthy consumer sentiment, FedEx should be poised to deliver going forward.

Recent acquisitions should also bolster its position in logistics and e-commerce.

FedEx (NYSE:FDX) is a company name most of us are familiar with as a provider of shipping, e-commerce and business services.

FedEx is a major competitive force in the shipping industry, benefiting from the rise of e-commerce and increasing demand for expedited shipping solutions.

On Wednesday, the company reported earnings that disappointed some investors, given the positive tailwinds of low gasoline prices and strong consumer sentiment.

FedEx missed EPS estimates by $0.08. Revenues and FY15 guidance were in line however, suggesting that expectations had gotten ahead of themselves and favorable conditions have not yet hit the bottom line.

Looking at the various operating segments, Express and Freight volumes were up, while Ground disappointed.

Prior to its earnings report, FedEx announced it was acquiring privately-held logistics provider Genco, further bolstering its e-commerce business.

The Genco acquisition adds new best in class supply chain management capabilities.

The deal, which likely cost FedEx $1-$2 billion, is the largest acquisition the company has made since it acquired Watkins Motor Lines in 2006 for $780 million and rivals its 2004 purchase of Kinko's for $2.4 billion.

It also announced another small acquisition, Bongo International, a provider of services that enables international e-commerce orders and shipments.
