UPS, FedEx stocks drop to pace transport losers after Morgan Stanley highlights Amazon Air risk
Shares of United Parcel Service Inc. sank 4.8% and FedEx Corp. dropped 4.7% in morning trade Tuesday, to lead all 20 of the Dow Jones Transportation Average's components in losses, after Morgan Stanley analyst Ravi Shanker cut its price targets on the package deliverers, citing concerns over competition from Amazon.com Inc.'s Amazon Air. Amazon's stock slipped 0.5%. Analyst Ravi Shanker cut his target on UPS to $87 from $92 at on FedEx to $230 from $240, as he believes "the market is missing the risk Amazon Air poses" to the companies. He kept his underweight rating on UPS and equal weight rating on FedEx. Although Amazon Air's rollout is still in the early innings, Shanker estimates a 200-to-300 basis point (2 to 3 percentage points) impact on UPS and FedEx domestic air volume growth already, with more erosion expected as Amazon Air is build out. In addition, Shanker estimates Amazon Air's flight lanes overlap with over two-thirds of the volume flown by UPS and FedEx combined. UPS's stock has lost 7.9% year to date, while FedEx shares have lost 12% and Amazon's stock has run up 51%. The Dow Jones Transportation Average has slipped 0.3% over the same time and the Dow Jones Industrial Average has gained 3.8%.

[$$] UPS, FedEx tumble as analyst warns of Amazon Air risk
shares on Tuesday, as Morgan Stanley warned that investors have yet to fully account for growing competition from the ecommerce giant’s freight delivery service. Amazon has sought to expand its own shipping operations, both on the ground and in the air, to cut freight costs and speed up deliveries of its customers’ orders. The moves — in addition to an order of 20,000 Mercedes-Benz vans for ground deliveries — could reduce Amazon’s reliance on logistics companies such as UPS and FedEx, whose networks have been strained by growing ecommerce shipments.
