The major competitors of Fedex

Let's now take a look at the competitive environment of the Fedex group with a presentation of the various competitors of this company that you should watch out for in your analyses of this value:

UPS

UPS or United Parcel Service is an American postal company which is also known as "Big Brown" in reference to the brown colour of its employees' uniforms. This company is based in Atlanta but operates worldwide, as does Fedex.

USPS

Also known as the United States Postal Services, USPS is the United States government postal service and was formerly known as "US Mail". It has existed since 1775 and was created by an Executive Order of the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia as the United States Post Office.

DHL

Finally, the DHL group is another American group specialising in transport and logistics which has since become an international group since it has integrated the Deutsche Post DHL group which is itself made up of Deutsche Post, the German postal company in charge of transporting mail and parcels in Germany, and DHL which remains the international transport and logistics group that we know. DHL itself is made up of various specialist divisions.

The major partners of Fedex

We now invite you to discover two strategic partnerships that the Fedex group has recently set up as examples of events that can influence its stock market performance:

Google Wings

In 2019, Google's Google Wings subsidiary announced a collaboration with Fedex and the Wallgreens pharmacy chain to automate drug delivery. The project is to deliver these drugs using autonomous drones and the pilot programme was launched in October of that same year after obtaining certification from the US Federal Aviation Administration or FAA.

La Poste

Previously in 2008, Fedex had also signed a major agreement with the French group La Poste with a view to bringing their mail, parcel and logistics activities closer together. Fedex thus became Chronopost's air operator for its international traffic and Chronopost International is responsible for distributing Fedex parcels in France and the rest of Europe.

The factors in favour of a rise in the Fedex share price:

If you want to be able to predict how the Fedex group will evolve in terms of growth in the more or less long term, we now propose that you take a closer look at the strengths and weaknesses of this stock on the stock market with the main strengths and weaknesses of this company.
Let's start by summarising the main strengths of the Fedex group in relation to its competitors and which may enable it to gain in growth in the years to come in relation to the competition:

First of all, the Fedex Group has a strong presence in its sector of activity as it is currently one of the largest transport, logistics and courier companies in the world.
The Fedex Group is also an innovative group that sets itself apart from its competitors. The company is currently a pioneer in the field of shipping, freight and delivery, and has been since its creation in the 1970s. It continues to innovate every year to maintain its position.
The Fedex Group is also a large group. Indeed, its workforce is very strong with over 600,000 employees worldwide.
Another advantage is that the group is in exceptional financial health. For example, Fedex has a strong financial position on the NYSE and the S&P 500 index with annual revenues averaging over $140 billion in recent years.
The Fedex Group's advantages include the fact that it has several major freight hubs around the world, the largest of which are in the United States and Hong Kong, allowing it to handle shipments around the globe.
It is also notable that the group regularly acquires other logistics, transport and e-commerce businesses to strengthen its market position.
The group is also focusing on an environmentally friendly and sustainable business model, including the acquisition of electric vans.
The Fedex Group is also responsible for a number of commercial logistics and supply chain management activities on behalf of the US government and is one of the best known brands in the world.
Finally, the company has extensive operations around the world, with services to over 200 countries.

The factors in favour of a drop in the Fedex share price:

Of course, the Fedex group does not only have its advantages and must also deal with a few defects and weaknesses which we propose to discover now and which are all elements likely to lead to a drop in its share price:

First of all, due to its presence and activities throughout the world, the Fedex group's activities are highly exposed to lawsuits and strict policies in certain countries, which represents a potential brake on its growth.
Finally, the second most important shortcoming of this company is of course the strong competition in its sector of activity. It should be remembered that the delivery and logistics sector is one of the most competitive segments of the market today and that the growth of its market share is therefore limited by the presence of increasingly strong and numerous competitors.
