1107 ET - FedEx is poised for palpable change as its Drive cost initiatives set the stage for stronger margins, earnings and free cash flow in out-years than appreciated, Raymond James' Patrick Tyler Brown says in a research note. The package-shipping company didn't provide a full-year outlook given the uncertain macroeconomic landscape. The analyst notes that despite the macro overhang, management remains focused on structural margin improvement. "We believe that management's shift toward integrating its Express & Ground offering, its focus on attacking costs across various functional buckets, enhanced capital allocation scrutiny, and a more shareholder-friendly capital return program point to a more returns-oriented playbook," the analyst says.
