FedEx Shares Crumble as Trading Volume Plummets 33% to Rank 338th in U.S. Markets

On October 7, 2025, FedEx (FDX) closed at a 1.90% decline, with a trading volume of $340 million, representing a 33.44% drop from the previous day’s volume. The stock ranked 338th in terms of trading activity among U.S. equities, reflecting subdued investor engagement despite its position as a key logistics player.

The move followed a lack of material catalysts in the logistics sector, with broader market sentiment remaining cautious ahead of upcoming macroeconomic data releases. Analysts noted that FedEx’s performance aligned with its peers, which have faced pressure from shifting freight demand and margin compression due to competitive pricing dynamics. The decline in trading volume suggested limited short-term momentum, though no company-specific news directly impacted the stock during the session.

To set up an accurate back-test for a "top-500-by-volume" strategy, several parameters must be clarified: the stock universe (e.g., U.S. listed equities on NYSE, NASDAQ, or AMEX), volume ranking criteria (raw shares or dollar volume), trade execution timing (close-to-close or open-to-open), weighting methodology (equal-weight or otherwise), and assumptions about transaction costs or slippage. Once these details are confirmed, a systematic back-test can be executed from January 3, 2022, to the present to evaluate the strategy’s historical performance.
