In preparation for the planned spin-off of FedEx Freight Holding Company, Inc. from FedEx Corporation, FedEx Freight on January 15, 2026 entered into two new credit facilities: a $1.2 billion five-year revolving credit facility and a $600 million three-year delayed draw term loan facility, both in U.S. dollars and tied to FedEx Freight’s credit ratings. The facilities, which become fully available only upon or in close anticipation of the spin-off, are designed to fund a cash distribution to FedEx, support spin-off related transactions and expenses, and provide ongoing liquidity for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, while imposing leverage covenants, negative pledges, and other customary restrictions that will frame the capital structure and financial discipline of the standalone LTL business. In a related governance move dated January 12, 2026, FedEx director Stephen E. Gorman informed the board he will resign from FedEx’s board to join the board of the newly spun-off FedEx Freight, with the company noting there were no disagreements regarding FedEx’s operations or policies, underscoring an orderly transition as the freight unit moves toward independence. The most recent analyst rating on (FDX) stock is a Hold with a $280.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on FedEx stock, see the FDX Stock Forecast page.
