FedEx is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. provides a portfolio of transportation, e-commerce and business services through companies competing collectively, operating collaboratively and digitally, under the FedEx brand. These companies are included in the following business segments: Federal Express Corporation, which is an express transportation company; FedEx Ground Package System, Inc., which provides small-package ground delivery services; FedEx Freight Corporation, which provides less-than-truckload freight services; and FedEx Corporate Services, Inc., which provides billing and collection services, and certain back-office functions that support its operating segments. The FDX stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the FDX stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2015 for the given stock.
When performing this calculation it is important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annual return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon.
One way to factor dividends into the return is simply to count them as cash — we don't do
that here. Instead, our website aims to empower investors
by performing the FDX annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
