Jefferies is reaffirming its Buy rating on shares of FedEx (NYSE: FDX) while lowering its price target from $112 to $110.
The company is scheduled to release its first quarter earnings on September 22. The firm is lowering its Q1 EPS estimate from $1.53 to $1.49, which is inline with the consensus, due to weakness in Asia and North American airfreight.
Jefferies notes that its revisions are based off of UPS's (NYSE: UPS) analyst conference where they highlighted slowing demand.
The firm believes that FDX will guide toward the low end of its current $6.35-$6.85 2012 guidance and feels that this is already priced into the stock.
An analyst at Jefferies comments, "While the skeptic would likely argue that FDX deserves a 12x market-type multiple given the macro taint, we remain more constructive and continue to believe that the company can grow earnings by low double digits even into a muted macro growth scenario."
The firm reiterated its 2013 EPS estimate of $7.34 stating that it still feels comfortable with it.
