FedEx has “significantly enhanced” its e-commerce capabilities, and the changes have been well-received and resulted in record volumes, he said.
“While we have experienced some higher-than-expected expenses this quarter, we forecast FedEx Ground operating margins to rebound to the teens in our fiscal fourth quarter as the bow wave of costs for these changes is absorbed.”
FedEx shares were down 6.7% at $152.30 in Tuesday’s after hours session.
