FedEx said a slowdown in the global economy has hurt its business. Investors, analysts and customers of the company said they are seeking clarity on how deep the problems are and what its response will be.
The carrier is due to report its first-quarter earnings after U.S. stock markets close Thursday, a week after cutting its full-year financial outlook and revealing that package-delivery volumes in Europe, Asia and the U.S. were weaker than it expected in recent months.
