Goldman Sachs today maintained a Buy rating on FedEx (NYSE: FDX) and modified its price target, lowering it to $114.00 (from $115.00). Analyst Tom Kim noted soft trends heading into the back half of 2013.

"Global airfreight flows have been mixed, with bellwether terminals such as HACTL pointing to softer-than-anticipated throughput," said Kim. "The industry along with FDX continues to adjust capacity commensurately with demand, which we expect to support pricing over the medium-term."

"The challenge for FDX is to adjust its cost structure to support the strong growth from international deferred. We would expect further rationalization of service frequencies on the East/West routes," added the analyst.

Goldman cut its 4QFY13 EPS estimate to $1.95 from $2.17 and reduced FY14-15 estimates by 1%-7%.
