FedEx financial leverage ratio helps determine the effect of debt on the overall profitability of the company. It measures the total debt position of FedEx, including all of FedEx's outstanding debt obligations, and compares it with the equity. In simple terms, the high financial leverage means the cost of production, together with running the business day-to-day, is high, whereas, lower financial leverage implies lower fixed cost investment in the business and generally considered by investors to be a good sign. So if creditors own a majority of FedEx assets, the company is considered highly leveraged. Understanding the
composition and structure of overall FedEx debt and outstanding corporate bonds gives a good idea of
how risky the capital structure of a business is and if it is worth investing in it. Please read more on our
technical analysis page.
Understanding FedEx Total Debt
FedEx liabilities are broken down into two parts on the balance sheet. These are short-term (or current) obligations and long-term debt. FedEx has to fulfill its short-term liabilities in this reporting year and should be no more than 12 months old. Long-term debt, on the other hand, is anything beyond the 12-month payment timeframe. Common short-term liabilities found on FedEx balance sheet include debt obligations and money owed to different FedEx vendors, workers, and loan providers. Below is the chart of FedEx main long-term debt accounts currently reported on its balance sheet.

How important is FedEx's Liquidity
FedEx
financial leverage refers to using borrowed capital as a funding source to finance FedEx ongoing operations. It is usually used to expand the firm's asset base and generate returns on borrowed capital. FedEx financial leverage is typically calculated by taking the company's all interest-bearing debt and dividing it by total capital. So the higher the debt-to-capital ratio (i.e., financial leverage), the riskier the company. Financial leverage can amplify the potential profits to FedEx's owners, but it also increases the potential losses and risk of financial distress, including bankruptcy, if the firm cannot cover its debt costs. The degree of FedEx's financial leverage can be measured in several ways, including by ratios such as the debt-to-equity ratio (total debt / total equity), equity multiplier (total assets / total equity), or the debt ratio (total debt / total assets). Please check the
breakdown between FedEx's total debt and its cash.

FedEx may start a correction in January
Current Total Risk Alpha is up to 0.09. Price may slide again. FedEx currently demonstrates below-verage downside deviation. It has Information Ratio of 0.09 and Jensen Alpha of 0.31. However, we do advice investors to further question FedEx expected returns to ensure all indicators are consistent with the current outlook about its relatively low value at risk.
While some other companies under the integrated freight & logistics industry are still a bit expensive, FedEx may offer a potential longer-term growth to investors. With a relatively neutral outlook on the current economy, it is better to hold off any trading of FedEx as the current risk-reward utility is not appealing enough. Please use our equity advice module to run different scenarios to ensure your current risk level and investment horizon are fully reflective of your current investing preferences in regards to FedEx.
