FedEx MEDIUM-TERM OUTLOOK|Technicals &Few Fundamentals|DJUSAF/TSFedEx(FDX) : Series on Equities (Extension to XLI post)- Sept 22nd (5 Minute Read) Since I do not post much about individual equities (maybe this will change in the future) , I will keep this post short and mostly technical . Nevertheless, some extremely significant fundamentals will be analysed . The purpose of this post is to analyse FedEx's performance and their correlation with the expected performance of the US economy in the next 3-4 Quarters . Key word : Expectations . Starting-off with the technicals. On the monthly chart, FDX is nearing a bearish cross/squeeze on the ichimoku cloud . This is quite crucial as the ichimoku cloud previously served as a buy zone in 2016 and 2012 . At the end of 2018 and the sell-off, the primary support levels for FedEx were the 100 Monthly EMA (turquoise line) near the ichimoku cloud. Unfortunately, this outcome only served as a bearish flag, and with the recent earnings miss the cross finally happened. At this moment and time in September, the last monthly candle simply looks very nasty(bearish) . As labelled from the chart, the next support zones are the previous bottoms from 2016 and the peaks of 2007 ~122-132$ . Now, let's dive into the fundamentals and compare FedEx to the dow benchmark for delivery and transportation services . ibb.co ( DJUSAF- Delivery Services ) ibb.co ( DJUSTF- Transportation Services ) Unfortunately, these charts can't be accessed on Tradiview due to regulations. FedEx blamed the recent earnings miss on the US/China Trade war stall and the split with Amazon . This is fair, but is there more to it? From the 2 links above, it's clear that the two industries haven't performed as well as compared to some of the other cyclical industries. DJUSAF/DJUSTF can be considered somewhat middle of the pack between cyclical and defensive , depending on the factors considered. Perhaps FedEx is struggling, but so are these fundamental industries as a whole . The last earnings miss from FedEx was not as large as the previous one, yet it seems that the expectations were that it will perform just as well as the rest of the SPX/Dow companies . The main issue at hand is, whether this poor performance can improve our expectations on, how the economy will perform in the next four critical and highly risky quarters (Q3;Q4- 2019, Q1;Q2- 2020)? (ibb.co) Credit to the Cass Freight inc . The recent report from the Cass Freight Inc. suggests that there is a major downtrend in trading volume across the US and globally. FedEx's lowering their 2020 earnings guidance is not a mutually exclusive issue to the downtrend in trading volumes. Essentially, the worst case outcome of these two events is that, they can be seen as recession foreshadowing factors . Without a doubt their performance can be considered as fundamental to a healthy and growing economy. To wrap up this post just like every other one from my past 10 posts- since the summer and in the following quarters, expecting a speculation game . On the chart above the primary bullish FedEx targets are marked in case there's a US/China trade deal . Otherwise, as things stand, the most likely pattern is the drawn ABC . Depending on the timing of the bad news in the worst case, could expect a direct drop to ~60,65$. Keeping a close look at FedEx and the performance of some of the fundamental/defensive industries in the next couple of quarters will be essential . This is it for FedEx, hope at least someone found this post useful!
