On June 10, FedEx Freight fell 8.79% in regular trading, trading at $180.68/share, with trading volume of $32.97 million. The decline came amid broad-based selling across the cargo ground transportation sector, compounded by warming expectations of further interest rate hikes.
The entire freight sector experienced significant losses, with peers Saia Inc. down 5.70%, Old Dominion Freight Line down 5.78%, XPO Logistics down 4.93%, JB Hunt Transport down 2.86%, and Knight Transportation down 2.71%. The sector-wide weakness reflected concerns over tightening monetary policy weighing on industrial demand.
Additionally, FedEx Freight had rallied sharply since its June 1 debut as an independent public company, quickly surpassing Truist Securities' $155 target price. Analysts noted that the stock's rapid appreciation following multiple investment bank initiations created elevated short-term profit-taking pressure, which contributed to the magnitude of the pullback.
