We already had a massive shift to bearishness this week, and then FedEx held a preliminary earnings call after the bell Thursday, slashing its profit forecast.
Even worse, CEO Raj Subramaniam told CNBC he believes a “worldwide recession” is coming, sending an already bearish market into another big down day as FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) cratered over 20%.
FedEx Preliminary Earnings Call
During its preliminary earnings call, FedEx announced $3.44 in preliminary earnings per share versus expectations of $5.14, and revenue of $23.2 billion versus expectations of $23.59 billion.
The company withdrew its guidance for the year, cut first-quarter fiscal year projections, and said it’s shutting down offices all over the place…
Keep in mind that FedEx delivers stuff to people all around the world. So when it says its business is slowing down, that is a canary in the coal mine.
