But then again, the expectations for this week's quarterly reports from Nike, GameStop, and Discover tell a different story. Memphis-based Fedex Corp. ( FDX ), announced an increase in ground rates and also delivered two pandas from the U.S. to China with its new Boeing 777F during its fiscal third quarter. Earnings for that period are expected to have more than doubled from a year ago to $0.72 per share. And revenue for the three months that ended in February is expected to have risen 2.4% to $8.3 billion. Analysts so far expect sequential and year-over-year growth of EPS and revenue in the fourth quarter. Fedex only fell short of earnings estimates in one of the past five quarters.

Already listed and all that but the number the lady gave me to call the LAX office is no bueno. Would be much appreciated if someone could PM me the address of the LAX ramp (or just tell me where it is I'm supposed to report for my jumpseat in the morning). Also, it's my first time using Fedex.

Everyone knows that Fedex (FDX) is -- or at least is seen as -- the ultimate economic bellwether. So anything the company says about the economy is a big deal. FT : The nascent US recovery could falter because businesses are still reluctant to invest in new equipment and technology, the head of global delivery and logistics company Fedex has warned. “Business investment went up somewhat in the fourth quarter but is far below what it ought to be in a cyclical recovery like this,” Fred Smith, chairman and chief executive of Fedex, told the Financial Times. Fedex earnings come out next week. Hopefully we'll learn more then.

Fedex CEO Fred Smith Today, the Senate is debating a bill reauthorizing the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that had earlier been subjected to a hold by Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) . The FAA reauthoritzation passed by the House last year includes a change in labor law that would remove barriers to unionization for truck drivers at Memphis-based Fedex, and Corker wanted an assurance from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) that the change would not be included in the final bill (since it is already not included in the Senate language). Currently, Fedex is governed by the Railway Labor Act (RLA), which does not allow for the formation of local unions, while the change would pull Fedex under the National Labor Relation Act (NLRA) along with other shipping companies like UPS. Reid reportedly promised to keep the language out of the Senate bill, which was enough for Corker to release his hold . However, it doesn’t seem like the House is prepared to let the case drop. And Fedex CEO Fred Smith — who was George W. Bush’s fraternity brother and has said that “ I don’t intend to recognize any unions at Federal Express” — is not taking any chances . He is “ lobbying fiercely ” today against the change, claiming that allowing Fedex drivers to unionize means medical supplies won’t get delivered on time : Smith warned that if the measure becomes law, the Memphis, Tenn.-based company would slow its growth — in part by immediately canceling a ...
