Research Alert: Ups And Fedex Face New Amazon Threat In Key B2b Logistics Segment

By

-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

Amazon launched Amazon Supply Chain Services on May 4, opening its logistics network to all businesses with comprehensive freight, distribution, fulfillment, and parcel shipping capabilities. Major clients including Procter & Gamble and 3M have signed up, marking Amazon's entry into direct competition with UPS and FedEx as a full-service logistics provider. We believe this threatens the B2B segment where both carriers concentrated growth strategies as refuge from Amazon's residential market share gains. UPS faces compounding volume pressures from deliberately scaling back its Amazon partnership 50% by mid-2026. With costs spread across shrinking volume, UPS needs B2B growth that Amazon now threatens. UPS has historically traded at a 14.9% premium to FDX on average over the past three years, but this relationship inverted in November 2025 to a current 23.5% discount as of May 1, 2026. FDX's premium reflects investor confidence in its B2B positioning, but Amazon's entry challenges this competitive advantage.
