One of the easiest ways to analyze the U.S. economy and its
activity levels is to look at two of the largest express-delivery companies in
the world: FedEx and UPS. Due to the rapid growth of online shopping and to the
recovering U.S. economy, both companies have seen rising revenues and margins.
Providing air-express services, carrying packages and
freight in over 200 countries is FedEx who reported on Tuesday strong results
from 2016’s first-quarter fiscal year. Earnings increased to $2.65 per share,
summing up to a grand total of $715 million, up from 2015’s first quarter of
$692 million ($2.42 per share). FedEx’s stock price, as of Thursday, was $173
finally up from its 1-year low of $119.
UPS, who holds the title “the largest express-delivery
company in the world”, brought $58.3 billion in net income in 2015 (annual
total) and is expected to increase 4.4% throughout the end of 2016 and another
4.5% in 2017! Jim Corridore, equity analyst at S&P Global, rated UPS’ stock
at $130 per share, although, as of Tuesday, their Class B stock was priced at
$109 per share, still up from its 1-year low of $87.
