On May 20, FedEx rose 3.14% in regular trading, trading at $386.31/share, with trading volume of $123 million. The gain was driven by growing market anticipation of value unlocking as the company's freight business spin-off approaches completion.

FedEx's board has formally approved the spin-off of its FedEx Freight division, which is scheduled to begin independent trading on the New York Stock Exchange on June 1 under the ticker FDXF. Under the terms of the transaction, shareholders will receive one share of FedEx Freight for every two shares of FedEx common stock held as of the May 15 record date. FedEx will retain a 19.9% stake in the newly independent entity and plans to gradually divest it over a 24-month period. Additionally, FedEx has begun redeeming its 354.9 million euros 1.300% notes due 2031 as part of the broader spin-off process.

The separation is expected to allow FedEx to sharpen its strategic focus on core parcel delivery and logistics network operations, while enabling the freight business to pursue independent growth.
