FedEx Freight completes spin-off from FedEx and begins trading as FDXF
FedEx Freight completed its spin-off from FedEx on June 1, 2026, after FedEx distributed 80.1% of FedEx Freight common stock to FedEx stockholders. The company also entered into agreements with FedEx covering separation, transition services, taxes, employees, intellectual property, the FedEx Freight name, and stockholder matters, and it drew the full $600 million term loan on May 27 to help finance a cash dividend. For shareholders, these agreements define the ongoing relationship with FedEx, which retains 19.9% of the shares and will dispose of them within 24 months.
