The structural profiles are close, with United Parcel Service carrying a narrow edge on growth. FedEx still has the edge on growth, which keeps the comparison from looking entirely one-sided. In the market, FedEx carries the stronger setup — intact trend against United Parcel Service's broken trend. That leaves a split case: the structural lead stays with United Parcel Service, but the market is not currently confirming it.
The comparison is based on similar long-term financial trajectories, not sector labels. Both peer scores are relative to the S&P 500 universe, making them directly comparable.
Growth points more clearly toward FedEx Corporation, even if the broader score still leans toward United Parcel Service, Inc..
Both operate in: Integrated Freight & Logistics
This comparison is based on industry proximity, not on functional trajectory similarity. FDX and UPS share the same industry classification.

Scores reflect position relative to comparable companies with similar long-term financial trajectories.
The clearest separation appears in growth.
Left means cheaper relative valuation. Higher means stronger structure.
The structural gap is limited here, but current pricing still leans against FedEx Corporation.
Valuation position uses peer-relative PE percentile (idx_pct_pe) where available.

The main growth separation is very wide, driven by a meaningfully stronger expansion profile.
On the market side, FedEx carries the stronger trend while United Parcel Service's trend has broken — the market setup does not confirm the structural advantage.
Growth is the clearest driver of the lead, with profitability adding further support — though growth still provides a real counterweight.

AssetNext scores reflect each company's structural position within its functional peer group — not a ranking against all stocks simultaneously. Peers are identified by similarity across eight financial dimensions, including revenue growth trajectory, margin structure, capital intensity, and earnings stability. A score of 75 means the company ranks in the top quartile within its own peer group, not the entire market.
Four dimension scores drive the overall peer score: Growth (revenue trajectory and expansion dynamics), Quality (margin structure and capital efficiency), Valuation (peer-relative pricing on standard multiples), and Stability (earnings consistency and financial predictability). Each dimension is scored 0–100 relative to the peer group, then combined into an overall peer score using equal weighting.
Because scores are peer-relative, the same company can have slightly different scores in different index universes. On comparison pages, both companies are shown within their shared peer universe wherever possible — so the scores are directly comparable. The peer basis is stated on each score card.
Scores are recalculated periodically as underlying financial data is updated. All analysis is descriptive and rule-based — AssetNext describes structural realities and never issues buy, sell or hold recommendations.
