The second largest U.S. package delivery company, FedEx (NYSE: FDX) , and the
world’s largest package-delivery company, the United Parcel
Service (NYSE: UPS) or
UPS, have delivered contrasting results. While the former reported a rise
in revenues and a sharp drop in earnings, the latter saw increasing top and
bottom lines – despite the setbacks coming from the failed acquisition bid
for the European package delivery giant TNT Express (NASDAQOTH:TNTEY) . FedEx,
however, captured global headlines due to a deal with the U.S. Postal Service
even though the deal might not be as attractive as investors would
have liked.
