FedEx Shares Slip After Fiscal Q4 Earnings: ETFs in Focus

After the closing bell on June 24, transport bellwether FedEx FDX reported strong fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 results, wherein it beat both earnings and revenue estimates. However, the courier company provided a dismal outlook and cautious commentary, sending its shares down more than 5% in after-market close. The sluggish trading is likely to be felt in the ETF world, especially for those with the highest allocation to FedEx. These include ProShares Supply Chain Logistics ETF SUPL, iShares U.S. Transportation ETF IYT, First Trust Nasdaq Transportation ETF FTXR and Pacer Industrials and Logistics ETF SHPP.FedEx earnings per share came in at $6.07, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $5.93 and improving from the year-ago earnings of $5.41. Revenues inched up 0.5% year over year to $22.2 billion and edged past the consensus estimate of $21.7 billion (see: all the Industrials ETFs here).For the current fiscal first-quarter 2026, the  parcel company expects revenues to be flat or increase up to 2% and adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $3.40-$4.00. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues indicates growth of 0.21%, while the same for earnings per share is pegged at $4.05.FedEx did not provide earnings and revenue forecasts for fiscal 2026, citing uncertainty surrounding U.S. trade policies, particularly those involving China, the world’s largest exporter. The company remains significantly more exposed to trade with China than its chief rival, United Parcel Services UPS. However, the company announced it had achieved its $4 billion cost-cutting goal and will aim to trim another $1 billion in its upcoming fiscal year.ETFs in FocusLet’s delve into each ETF below:ProShares Supply Chain Logistics ETF (SUPL)ProShares Supply Chain Logistics ETF is the first ETF focused exclusively on companies that deal with raw materials and merchandise shipping and delivery.
