FedEx (NYSE: FDX) shares jumped 2% in after-hours trading following reports that Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) has renewed its partnership with the shipping giant. According to a Business Insider report, Amazon has reengaged FedEx to help meet delivery demand after scaling back its reliance on UPS (NYSE: UPS).
This move marks a notable shift, as FedEx ended its delivery relationship with Amazon in 2019 due to growing competition in logistics. The renewed collaboration comes amid Amazon’s efforts to optimize its shipping network and address capacity issues created by UPS’s reduced service levels.
An internal Amazon document from February, cited by Business Insider, reveals that FedEx is being brought on to bridge logistical gaps and deliver cost efficiencies. The report highlights "cost favorability" compared to previous shipping arrangements with UPS, indicating that Amazon sees the FedEx deal as financially beneficial.
Although details of the agreement remain limited, including which packages FedEx will handle, the document describes the move as strategic. An Amazon spokesperson confirmed the agreement, noting that FedEx will be one of several third-party partners, alongside UPS and the U.S. Postal Service, supporting Amazon’s delivery ecosystem.
FedEx's role will complement Amazon’s in-house delivery operations, helping to improve capacity and enhance customer satisfaction. For FedEx, the partnership with one of the world’s largest e-commerce platforms could boost shipping volumes and revenue, especially after the earlier fallout between the two companies.
The announcement has generated positive investor sentiment, as reflected in the immediate rise in FedEx stock. This partnership could reshape dynamics in the shipping industry, with Amazon now leveraging multiple carriers to strengthen its logistics backbone while controlling costs. The deal underscores a strategic shift in Amazon’s delivery approach and a potential growth opportunity for FedEx.
