But just think. If Wall Street firms can move the stock much higher, maybe FDX can raise some cheap capital and along with newly issued bonds, purchase the trucks necessary to build a residential force and compete against UPS for a share in the growing internet delivery market. Then the price competition would either lower the shipping and handling costs to the consumer, making net purchases even more economical or the lower actual costs would build etailers operating margins. Just think of the investment banking fees all around. Nah, the thought probably has never occurred to WS analysts. Removing tongue from cheek.
