FedEx Freight had $8.8B of revenue in fiscal 2026, down 1.1% on the year before.
Hi! I read FedEx Freightβs latest annual report (fiscal 2026). Here is what stands out:
Good So-so Weak
Are sales growing?
β1.1%
No. Sales fell 1.1% last year.
Does it make a profit?
7.5%
A little. It keeps 7.5% of every sale as profit.
Does profit turn into cash?
β2.4%
No. It spent more cash than it brought in.
Is debt under control?
4.1x
Heavy. Repaying its debt would take 4.1 years of operating profit.
Rules of thumb on reported numbers. A starting point, not a recommendation.
Is it selling more, and how much does it keep?
KIRA Β· FedEx Freight had $8.8B of revenue in fiscal 2026, down 1.1% on the year before. Its operating margin was 6.1%, down 9.6Β pts: of every 100 in sales, about 6 is left after running the business.
In plain words: Revenue is all the money customers paid. The margins show how many cents of each dollar of sales are left over at each step: after making the product (gross), after running the business (operating) and after everything, tax included (net).

KIRA Β· FedEx Freight made $655M of net profit in fiscal 2026. From fiscal 2024 to 2026, diluted EPS grew β35.5% a year.
Loss periods are shown in red.
In plain words: Net income is the profit left after every cost and tax. Earnings per share (EPS) splits that profit across every share, so it shows what one share earned.

How much cash comes in, and where does it go?
KIRA Β· Free cash flow was β$212M in fiscal 2026, β2.4% of revenue.
Cash from operations minus capital spending.
In plain words: Profit on paper is not the same as cash in the bank. Free cash flow is the cash left after paying to run and maintain the business: the money it can hand back to shareholders, save or invest.

KIRA Β· FedEx Freight returned $48.0M to shareholders in fiscal 2026. The diluted share count rose 0.0%.
In plain words: Companies hand cash back in two ways: dividends (cash paid to shareholders) and buybacks (buying back their own shares, so each remaining share owns a bigger slice).

KIRA Β· No open-market insider trades in the last 12 months.
Open-market purchases and sales by officers, directors and 10% owners, from Form 4 filings. βPlanβ marks trades under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 plan.
In plain words: Insiders are the people who run or own a big part of the company. Buying with their own money can signal confidence; selling often has personal reasons, like taxes or diversifying.

Can it carry its debts, and how well does it use its money?
KIRA Β· FedEx Freight owes $4.3B more than it holds in cash, about 4.1 years of operating profit.
Cash, debt and the ratios that show how comfortably FedEx Freight can carry it.
In plain words: What the company owns and what it owes. More cash than debt is a cushion for bad times; a lot of debt leaves less room when business slows down.
