FedEx ( (FDX) ) has shared an update.
On February 5, 2026, FedEx Freight Holding Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of FedEx Corporation, issued a total of $3.7 billion in senior unsecured notes across four tranches maturing between 2029 and 2036, with coupons ranging from 4.300% to 5.250%, sold to qualified institutional buyers in the U.S. and certain non-U.S. investors under Rule 144A and Regulation S. The notes, initially guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by FedEx Corporation and FedEx Freight, Inc., form part of a capital structure that anticipates a planned spin-off in which FedEx will distribute at least 80.1% of the Issuer’s common stock to its shareholders, after which FedEx will be released from its guarantee and FedEx Custom Critical, Inc. will become an additional guarantor, signaling a major step in reorganizing the freight business’s standalone financing and credit profile.
The most recent analyst rating on (FDX) stock is a Buy with a $401.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on FedEx stock, see the FDX Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on FDX Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, FDX is a Outperform.
The score is driven primarily by solid underlying financial performance (healthy margins and strong free cash flow growth) and strong technical trend (price above all key moving averages). Positive earnings-call signals—raised EPS outlook and ongoing Network 2.0/spin-off execution—add support, partially offset by leverage and operational/industrial headwinds (MD-11 grounding and Freight weakness). Valuation appears reasonable but not especially cheap, with a modest dividend yield.
