In the U.S., there's concern about a double-dip recession, but don't tell that to FedEx Corp (FDX), first discussed in this space on April 13, 2009 at a price of $50.98.

Further, if you took some profits off the table with FDX in April as the stock vectored toward $90, good for you. If not, fret not: Following FDX's recent correction, there's more upside ahead.

Look for FedEx's fiscal 2011 revenue to surge about 10-12%, followed by a comparable rise in 2012. Moreover, the aforementioned revenue growth rates represent good enough news to keep institutional investors piling into FDX.

Today's news was entirely about financial stocks. There is no denying it. We ran a full summary bank by bank showing the needs or lack thereof that Uncle Sam was going to require. But because those have all been read about over and over, today's closing bell piece revolves around some of the other winners that are outside of financial stocks. You would have never thought that 8.9% unemployment could look so good. Here are the unofficial closing bell levels:

Dow 8,574.81 +164.96 (1.96%)
S&P 500 929.21 +21.82 (2.40%)
Nasdaq 1,739.00 +22.76 (1.33%)

In my Battle of the Brands: UPS vs. FedEx, many people commented on how one company handled remote locations better than the other. If you think Avoca, Minnesota is a "remote location" check out this study.

Each year, students at the Supply Chain & Logistics Institute at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, GA send packages to locations around the world through different parcel carriers and observe the results. This year, the students chose United Parcel Service (NYSE: UPS), FedEx Corp (NYSE: FDX) and Deutsche Post's DHL to deliver five packages to five of the most remote locations on globe:
  • Apia, the only city on Upulu, one of the islands of Samoa. Upulu lacks something important for parcel carriers - street addresses.
  • Florianopolis, an island off the Brazil near Uraguay, which is considered a "remote area" by carriers.

This weekend's Wall Street Journal (subscription required) said some interesting things about retailers and FedEx Corp (NYSE: FDX).

Over 100 federal lawsuits seeking class-action status against merchants including Wendy's International (NYSE: WEN), TJX Cos (NYSE: TJX), Rite Aid Corp (NYSE: RAD) and Fed Ex Corp (FDX) have been filed for printing too much payment-card information on customer receipts this year alone.

TJX Co, the parent company of T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, reported in January that its computers were hacked and at least 47.5 million customers susceptible to fraud. For the following eight weeks, shares of TJX lost -15%; they have since recovered modestly.

As of December 4th, retailers will be prohibited from printing more than the last five digits of credit-card or debit-card numbers on receipts that are given to customers.

Breaking the law could result in fines as much as $1,000 per transaction.

A spokesman for Fed Ex Kinko's, the Fed Ex unit involved in the lawsuit, denied the charges by saying expiration dates were never identified as an item that could "compromise cardholder security."

Now, to some people this might make sense, but to me I have to scream foul against the claims made against FedEx. Does having one's credit-card expiration date on a receipt make you vulnerable to fraud and identity theft?

I'll stick my neck out on this one folks and say no.

My Discover card expires in May of 2010. Try to get something from that.
