UBS maintains a 'Buy' on FedEx (NYSE: FDX) price target of $110.00 (from $117.00).

Analyst, Kevin Crissey, said, "FedEx announced that its previous EPS guidance of $1.45 to $1.60 for the quarter was too high after re-assessing FedEx Express revenue growth. Mgmt identified weakness in the global economy as the culprit of Express’ stunted growth...Manangement took Q1 EPS guidance down by 8% but left the full year guidance ($6.90-$7.40) alone. Our forecast had been at the high end of this range but we think the lower end appears much more probable now."

FY13 EPS Estimate lowered from $7.40 to $6.97 and FY14 from $8.67 to $8.14.
