FedEx Corporation (FDX) revealed on Thursday its intention to separate its FedEx Freight division. This announcement led to a nearly 10% surge in the company's shares during after-hours trading.
The planned separation aims to be tax-efficient for FedEx shareholders and is slated for completion within the next 18 months.
According to FedEx, its Board of Directors has conducted a thorough review of FedEx Freight's role in their portfolio. As a result, they have decided to proceed with a complete separation through capital markets, forming a new, publicly traded company.
Raj Subramaniam, President and CEO of FedEx Corp., stated, "The timing is right for this separation as we navigate the specific dynamics of the LTL market. This decision reflects the robust foundation our team has established, as well as our commitment to serving our customers, team members, and stockholders. This process will enhance the value of our Freight business and better position FedEx to deliver increased value to stockholders."
In fiscal year 2024, FedEx Freight is projected to generate $9.4 billion in revenue, maintaining its status as the largest provider of less-than-truckload services, with the most extensive network and fastest transit times in its sector.
