Why Is FEDEX FGHT HLDG CO I (FDXF) Stock Up Today?

FDXF shares rose 12.44% to $123.34, driven by a quarterly earnings beat and raised guidance. The stock printed two fresh 52-week highs on October 30, 2026, following the release of its first financial results since its June spinoff.

What Happened

The company also raised its guidance, with the CFO noting that free cash flow has placed the firm on a path to begin deleveraging sooner than anticipated.

The CFO also indicated that some new customers are bringing many of their suppliers over to FedEx Freight.
