FedEx just reported a strong quarter, but the stock is falling because management gave a cautious outlook for 2026. The uncertainty is largely due to the separation of their freight business.

## Idea

FedEx is in the middle of a messy business separation, and investors hate uncertainty. But the underlying business just delivered a strong quarter. Once the Freight separation details are clear, the stock could rebound as investors realize the core shipping business is healthier than the headline panic suggests.
