FedEx shares fall on quarterly revenue miss

FedEx shares fell after the package delivery company's latest quarterly results showed that revenue dropped for a third straight quarter.

FedEx reported its third straight quarterly revenue drop as demand has weakened following the pandemic boom.

Shares of the package delivery company are 3% lower in pre-market trading.

The company is looking to cut costs by reducing flights and grounding more aircraft.

Another move the company is making is combining its Express and Ground delivery networks into one business.
