FedEx Freight Spin-Off Details Emerge: FDXF to Trade June 1 with 12% Margin Target
FDX sits 72% above its 52-week low of $214.35.
Summary
FedEx has announced the detailed terms for the spin-off of its FedEx Freight business, with shareholders of record on May 15, 2026, receiving one FDXF share for every two FDX shares. The new entity, FDXF, is set to begin trading on the NYSE on June 1, 2026, with FedEx retaining a 19.9% stake. FedEx Freight projects a 12% operating margin in 2026, with $8.7 billion in revenue and $1.1 billion in adjusted operating income, targeting 4%–6% annual revenue growth and 10%–12% annual core profit growth. This follows the board's approval of the spin-off reported earlier today and aligns with updates provided in the recent Q3 2026 earnings report. This strategic move is expected to unlock value by separating the less-than-truckload (LTL) freight business, providing investors with clearer visibility into each segment's performance. Traders will closely monitor the initial trading of FDXF and the revaluation of the remaining FedEx operations.
At the time of this announcement, FDX was trading at $369.70 on NYSE in the Energy & Transportation sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $88.2B.
