FedEx Corporation (NYSE: FDX) is a global leader in transportation, e-commerce, and business services. Known for its overnight shipping service, FedEx operates in over 220 countries and territories.

FedEx's recent financial performance highlights its successful cost-cutting measures.

CEO Raj Subramaniam expressed confidence in the company's transformation initiatives, which focus on integrating networks and reducing costs to create long-term value. Despite these positive results, FedEx's stock fell by about 5% in after-hours trading due to profit guidance for the current quarter that was slightly below Wall Street's expectations.

The operating margin improved to 8.1%, with an adjusted margin of 9.1%, up from 7.0% and 8.5% in the previous fiscal year. These improvements demonstrate the company's ability to enhance profitability through effective cost management.

Despite the positive financial results, FedEx shares have declined by over 18% year-to-date. The company's debt-to-equity ratio is approximately 1.39, indicating its leverage level.
