FedEx (FDX) stock slipped roughly 6% in after-hours trading on Tuesday, even though the company beat Wall Street on both revenue and earnings.
So why did FedEx stock fall?
One likely reason is fuel costs. FedEx saw fuel expenses jump 66% year-over-year, rising from $864 million to $1.43 billion.
Executives said demand hasn’t been hurt by higher fuel prices, and the company’s surcharge structure helped offset the cost.
But the spike was hard to ignore.
This was also the final earnings report to include FedEx Freight, which spun off into a separate public company on June 1.
As part of the spinoff, FedEx Freight paid roughly $4.1 billion in cash back to FedEx Corporation — a meaningful one-time benefit. Investors may be recalibrating expectations now that this segment is gone.

Even with a strong beat, FedEx stock faced after-hours selling pressure. That’s not unusual when results include spinoff-related noise or one-time items that make the numbers harder to read.
The underlying business looks solid.
Looking ahead, FedEx guided for 11% revenue growth and full-year adjusted EPS of $16.90 to $18.10 — strong numbers by any measure.
FedEx stock may be worth watching here.
The dip on a beat could be a short-term overreaction, especially given the earnings momentum the company has built over the past several quarters.
