COO of FedEx sold 2,576 shares ($713.4K) at $276.93 on 2025-01-07; stock now at $270.73
Richard W. Smith, COO of International and CEO of FedEx Express, sold 2,576 shares representing 3.1% of his pre-transaction holdings of 82,776 shares. The sale occurred at $276.93, a price 2.3% above the current market price of $270.73 and approximately in line with recent 30-day trading dynamics (down 3.7% over the past month). Against the broader context of FedEx's recent performance—annual revenue decline of 2.7%, relatively modest net income of $741.0M on $22.0B in quarterly revenue, and a stock trading 13.6% below its 52-week high of $313.52—this transaction represents a small reduction in a substantial executive position. The sale size and modest percentage reduction do not signal portfolio restructuring, but the timing relative to the company's revenue contraction and the executive's operational role warrants standard monitoring.
