FedEx price target raised to $410 from $400 at BMO Capital

BMO Capital raised the firm’s price target on FedEx (FDX) to $410 from $400 and keeps a Market Perform rating on the shares. The company’s Q3 results were well ahead of expectations and the outlook was raised thanks to strong execution across both commercial and operational fronts, the analyst tells investors in a research note. BMO adds, however, that while the conflict in the Middle East is not expected to have a material impact on Q4 results, incremental headwinds from variable compensation and weaker LTL segment performance are expected to offset additional cost efficiencies next quarter.
