Barclays maintains an 'Overweight' on FedEx (NYSE: FDX) price target of $114.00 (from $119.00).

Analyst, Brandon R. Oglenski, said, "Guidance reduction signals slower-than-expected Express growth...With evidence mounting of a slowing environment, we are more cautious on the outlook for the package integrators...Higher fuel and slower growth assumptions are driving our FDX estimates lower; FY13 goes to $6.90 from $7.40. Although our estimate reductions seem significant at first glance, higher fuel prices account for nearly 20c of the near-term revisions." (FY14 from $8.55 to $8.10)
