Stock prices

[Purple2Brown]

I've noticed that FedEx has a higher stock price than UPS. I don't really know much about stocks. Does this indicate that FedEx is a faster growing and better company than UPS, or will be one in the future? I've worked at both companies and it seems like UPS is a little bit better. I worked for Express but I did go through a ground station once and I have to say that the level of automation and technology at that station was superior to any station, ups or express, than I have ever seen.

Don't worry, UPS stock will sky rocket upwards after some people work the Monday after Xmas.

What about it?

Thats how much the company is worth. FedEx stock is much higher but has less shares on he market.

FedEx pays there employees like peasants. That is a major reason that their stock is higher. UPS FT employees get paid better.

Market cap?

Ok, it's basically a hair net. So what?

 

[Babagounj]

Look at daily amount of shares traded.
That will tell you how popular a stock is .

Fred S is the darling on Wall St.
Every time he speaks , even bad news , FEDX stock price goes up while UPS' goes down .

Another thing to look at is how many times a stock has split .
FEDX splits a lot .

You guys must have not have seen FedEx earnings, they missed.

How can people not understand this?

UPS is worth way more than Fed Ex. The value of the company is just divided by a lot more shares of stock

The same people that can't understand how we get paid for New year's week.

As of today UPS has a market cap of $101B and Fed Ex has a market cap of $51B.

The market cap is the stock price times the number of shares on the market. So basically what it would take to buy the company.

You guys must have not have seen FedEx earnings, they missed.

And their stock goes up regardless.

Companies have valuations but some of the price is based on future market share and growth. FedEx has more room to grow and take business from UPS so the stock price is higher based on the expectation of growth.

Fortunately for UPS, online shopping means growth for both companies.

Unfortunately that growth will not be equally shared.

With FedEx and UPS it's like comparing apples to oranges.......FDX has just reported for the 2nd quarter of 2017........I think that's what they said. Either way it's not the same as the rest of the companies who are in the 4th quarter of 2016 now. It's crazy!!!

FedEx Corporation 's FDX second-quarter fiscal 2017 (ended Nov 30, 2016) earnings per share (on an adjusted basis) of $2.80 fell short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.91. The bottom line was hurt by higher costs. Earnings, however, climbed 8.53% on a year-over-year basis.

I think reporting for a time period that hasn't happened is FANTASY!! How do you compare charts when you want to invest in one of these companies........My formula would eliminate any company that doesn't report the way all other companies do.....therefore, FDX would be off the table.

FedEx fiscal year begins June 1. That's how they budget and report. 2nd quarter fiscal 2017 is Sept-Nov. Do you think a model 2017 car purchased now would be FANTASY?
