JPMorgan initiates FedEx Freight stock coverage with overweight rating
Investing.com reports that JPMorgan has initiated coverage of FedEx Freight Holding Company (FDXF) with an overweight rating, setting a price target of $160.00. The stock is currently trading at $129.45, indicating a potential 24% upside to JPMorgan's target price. This rating stems from JPMorgan's belief that FedEx Freight, spun off from FedEx, can improve profitability and service as a standalone entity.
The carrier had faced challenges as a subsidiary of FedEx but is now investing in better customer service and upgrading its legacy systems. JPMorgan expects the management team to maintain a high-performance LTL operation while making these improvements. Although JPMorgan identifies upside potential, recent InvestingPro data suggests the stock is currently overvalued relative to its fair value.
Analysts cover FedEx Freight with varying opinions, with some raising price targets and others maintaining cautious ratings.
