FedEx Sees Weaker Global Economic Trends To Worsen!

Posted on Yahoo Finance yesterday: FedEx Corp. Reports Expected Second Quarter Earnings

  • “Second quarter results benefited from rapidly declining fuel prices and continued cost management,” said Alan B. Graf, Jr., executive vice president and chief financial officer. “However, demand for our services weakened sequentially throughout the quarter and global economic trends continue to worsen, substantially reducing our second half outlook. We are adjusting our expense plans to more closely align with the weaker business conditions, and are now targeting capital spending of $2.5 billion for fiscal 2009, down from $3.0 billion at the start of the year.”

Not a good indicator.
