FedEx is quiet costly versus Amazon/prime no? I’ve ordered past week including this week and received it within 1-2 day. Will it affect others probably yes. However, Amazon is closing some of their warehouses too I believe including a big one in Jersey.
FedEx CEO Raj Subramaniam told CNBC’s Jim Cramer on Thursday that he believes a recession is impending for the global economy.
“I think so. But you know, these numbers, they don’t portend very well,” Subramaniam said in response to Cramer’s question of whether the economy is “going into a worldwide recession.”
The CEO’s pessimism came after FedEx missed estimates on revenue and earnings in its first quarter. The company also withdrew its full year guidance.
Shares of FedEx fell 15% in extended trading on Thursday.
“I’m very disappointed in the results that we just announced here, and you know, the headline really is the macro situation that we’re facing,” Subramaniam said in an interview on “Mad Money.”
The chief executive, who assumed the position earlier this year, said that weakening global shipment volumes drove FedEx’s disappointing results. While the company anticipated demand to increase after factories shuttered in China due to Covid opened back up, it actually fell, he said.
“Week over week over week, that came down,” Subramaniam said.
The chief executive also said that the loss in volume is wide-reaching, and that the company has seen weekly declines since around its investor day in June.
“We’re seeing that volume decline in every segment around the world, and so you know, we’ve just started our second quarter,” he said. “The weekly numbers are not looking so good, so we just assume at this point that the economic conditions are not really good.”
“We are a reflection of everybody else’s business, especially the high-value economy in the world,” he later added.
LEN is a major single and multi-unit homebuilder with earnings release after market close on FOMC day. Seems like a good chance to play the trend.
I’m not able to see a clear bullish or bearish direction with them. They’re financially healthy and have a huge backlog of home orders. But they mentioned during last ER that the fed and interest rates were starting to impact them at the end of last quarter. Their inventory is creeping up a bit.
This could be fun to watch on Wednesday to see if it has an exaggerated response to the trend that forms after FOMC minutes at 2 pm. Scalp only; would absolutely not hold through ER. But there could be more opportunities on Thursday morning.
I won’t be playing this personally because I’m getting screwed by meetings this week and won’t be able to react quickly. I hope folks can make money off of this.
Personal acquaintance of mine is manager at a COST. Store inventory is currently 50 percent higher than normally carry. In large part due to the fact that they have their own chartered container ships now. So little to no wait on big ticket items.
However says it’s as busy and booming as ever for said items. They are starting to discount some things as distribution centers are full.
I’m bullish as fuck on COST and likely always will be. Not touching it with a 10 foot pole til after ER. But wanted to drop this info. If it runs either way WMT and TGT will likely follow suit. And will play all 3.
COST has been a beat for last 4Q. However their estimated EPS is actually higher for this Q than it has been in any of those. Been waiting all week for this to post.
General Mills was a beat this morning. Not sure if it’s worth playing today with Fed meeting but will watch to see. Looks like it’s pretty close to it’s ATH (78.54).
Yea I am saving my load for COST. Might play a bit today and watch IV on the contracts. May add a few and gamble a hold through all this but really add after we see their earnings come out.
Yes, I wasn’t expecting it to push so hard. Looks like it’s currently 81 resistance. This could be a multi-day runner even with new ATH’s so I’m going to keep an eye on it.
Looks like LEN and KBH were beats. However mixed movement in AH. I’m not touching either of them. As housing is bad and the last nail JPow delivered was directly at housing so sentiment is probably muttled.
DRI in the morning could be one to watch. It was moving healthy out of the gate today. And then the broader sell off took hold. Still anticipating COST and ACN tomorrow. I’ll be overly hesitant on these unless it’s a strong beat and showing major divergence from the market with the downtrend we seem to be.
