From the Paper:

"Federal Express is a capital-intensive business and as a result has several significant threats that relate to both their top-line revenue growth and the continued ability to drop the cost-per-mile flown and cost-per-package delivered. The company has an impressive command of optimization techniques and approaches, yet is still vulnerable to other key threats. These include the following: rising and often unpredictable fuel costs; uncertainty of getting the Priority Mail contract from the US Postal Service due to be renewed in 2008; acquisition integration risks, or the risk of not being able to integrate key companies acquired; and lastly, the long-term challenge posed by home automation to print and mail packages overnight through other carriers is a significant threat."
