FedEx (FDX) Stock Looks Undervalued Even After A 65% Run Bailey Pemberton Fri, July 10, 2026 at 3:11 AM EDT 4 min read FDX AMZN Make better investment decisions with Simply Wall St's easy, visual tools that give you a competitive edge. FedEx stock has delivered a 64.8% return over the past year, while both an intrinsic value estimate using a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) approach and earnings multiples currently suggest the shares trade at a discount to what the underlying cash flows imply. Over the last 1 year, FedEx has returned 64.8%. This puts fresh attention on whether the current price still leaves room for further value to be realised. Recent positive sentiment around analyst upgrades and the approval of a new pilot contract can support confidence in earnings durability, while rising competition from Amazon and other logistics players may weigh on how much investors are willing to pay for that cash flow stream. FedEx screens as undervalued on both the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) intrinsic value estimate and earnings multiples. However, with a 4 out of 6 valuation score , the broader checks point to a mixed picture rather than an obvious bargain. The issue now is whether FedEx's recent share price strength still offers an attractive entry point relative to its intrinsic value, or if most of that valuation gap has already closed. FedEx delivered 64.8% returns over the last year. See how this stacks up to the rest of the Logistics industry. The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model here uses projected cash flows to estimate what FedEx shares might be worth today. FedEx generated last twelve month free cash flow of about $4.4b, and the cash flow projections in this 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity model assume the business keeps growing rather than shrinking. On these inputs, the DCF points to an estimated intrinsic value of about $431 per share, compared with the current market price, which implies the stock trades at a 27.9% discount. Because Amazon Shipping is pushing aggressively into parcel delivery with sharp pricing, that competitive threat helps explain why FedEx can still trade below this intrinsic value estimate even after a strong share price move. On balance, the DCF workup suggests FedEx stock currently appears undervalued relative to its projected cash flows. Our Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis suggests FedEx is undervalued by 27.9%.

Head to the Valuation section of our Company Report for more details on how we arrive at this Fair Value for FedEx. For FedEx, the P/E ratio is a useful yardstick because earnings remain a key focus for both management and investors. FedEx currently trades on a P/E of about 16.7x, compared with an industry average of roughly 15.4x and a broader peer average near 23.9x. A P/E ratio of about 23.0x, based on the company's growth profile, margins, size and risks, is noticeably above where FedEx trades today. This comparison indicates that the stock appears undervalued on this metric even though it is slightly ahead of the logistics industry average. In other words, the market is applying a discount relative to what this framework suggests investors might typically pay for FedEx's earnings power. On balance, FedEx stock appears undervalued on the P/E multiple compared with the level indicated by its earnings profile and sector peers.
