What's Going On With FedEx Stock Ahead Of Q3 Earnings?

FedEx Guidance Outlook Could Be The Bigger Story This Quarter Analysts are expecting revenue of about $23.52 billion, up from $22.20 billion a year earlier, while earnings are projected at $4.13 per share versus $4.51 last year. The company has topped revenue estimates in four straight quarters and beaten EPS expectations in each of the last three.
