What this means. The weighted row is the probability-based average of the three cases, not a promise that the shares will reach that price.
What has to go right for FedEx, and what could go wrong?
Operating profit rises in the base case because volume, pricing and network savings improve gradually. It starts at $6,200M in October 2027 and reaches $6,800M in October 2028, then $7,400M in October 2029. The base revenue path moves from $98B to $102B and then $106B. Margins move from 6.3% through 6.7% to 7.0%, still below management’s 8% target.
The bear case uses $5,200M first, then $5,000M, before recovering to $5,400M. It assumes revenue of $98B at a 5.3% margin initially, followed by weak service and transition costs. The bull case rises from $6,800M to $7,700M and then $8,500M, as revenue reaches $112B and profitable density exceeds the base case. Wages and purchased transportation rose 8% and 9%, so execution remains the central risk.

How much cash does FedEx really make?
Free cash flow is operating cash left after capital spending. FedEx collects shipping payments, pays employees, fuel suppliers, and contractors, then buys aircraft or sorting equipment; what remains after those payments can support debt repayment, dividends, or buybacks. Because aircraft and facilities are bought at uneven times, one year’s free cash flow is not a permanent earning rate.
