FedEx Earnings Report Focuses on Turbulence at Express and Health of Ground Unit

When FedEx Corp. reports earnings after the market closes on Thursday, much of the focus will likely be on the poor results at the Express unit, the company’s largest by sales. Investors are keen to hear about the progress of Chief Executive Officer Raj Subramaniam’s cost-cutting plan and the rebound of air cargo. Ground, FedEx’s most profitable business, is also a concern as the era of large price increases may be over and there’s a danger that revenue per package may begin to slip.
