Fedex's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 6 May 1999. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Fedex shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Fedex shares which in turn could have impacted Fedex's share price.

Valuing Fedex stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Fedex's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Fedex's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 15x. In other words, Fedex shares trade at around 15x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Fedex's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.9556. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Fedex's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Fedex's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$11.3 billion (£9 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Fedex's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
Over the last 12 months, Fedex's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$209.5106 up to US$291.27. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Fedex's is 1.223. This would suggest that Fedex's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

Dividend payout ratio: 29.07% of net profits
Recently Fedex has paid out, on average, around 29.07% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.9% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Fedex shareholders could enjoy a 1.9% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Fedex's case, that would currently equate to about $5.04 per share.
While Fedex's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Fedex may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Fedex's most recent dividend payout was on 31 March 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 7 March 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like Fedex.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Total ESG risk: 19.26
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Fedex's overall score of 19.26 (as at 12/31/2018) is pretty good – landing it in it in the 25th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Fedex is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Environmental score: 3.75/100
Fedex's environmental score of 3.75 puts it squarely in the 1st percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Fedex is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 10.02/100
Fedex's social score of 10.02 puts it squarely in the 1st percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Fedex is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 2.49/100
Fedex's governance score puts it squarely in the 1st percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Fedex is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Controversy score: 3/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Fedex scored a 3 out of 5 for controversy – a middle-of-the-table result reflecting that Fedex hasn't always managed to keep its nose clean.
FedEx Corporation was last rated for ESG on: 2019-01-01.
