WHITE HOUSE INSIDER BUCK SEXTON:
“TRUMP’S NEXT MOVE WILL
SHOCK THE WORLD” Dear Reader, I just returned from a private interview at the Biltmore hotel… Where I shared a chilling prediction regarding a major plan currently developing inside the Trump administration. See, I have had direct access to top-level defense and national security officials… Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Marco Rubio and others… Which is why I was recently invited to a sit-down meeting with President Trump and Vice President Vance inside the West Wing of the White House. And what I learned gave me the chills… That’s why, today, I’ve decided to give a rare interview breaking down something I believe every American needs to hear – especially investors. It’s not about tariffs, crypto, or the Fed. Or anything else you’re hearing about ad nauseam from the mainstream press right now. It’s about a radical move I believe Trump is going to make any day – one that could shock the world. Because I believe it could single-handedly reshape the global order… dramatically increase U.S. power… and trigger a massive American market boom the likes of which we haven’t seen in 75 years. President Trump himself said this is all about one thing… Igniting what he calls “the most extraordinary boom the world has ever seen.” This is a rare opportunity, folks. And I’m bringing it to you on a silver platter… long before anyone else gets wind of it. Take it while you can. Because once this story and opportunity hits the mainstream, it could be too late to act. You deserve this… Get the details here now. Sincerely, Buck Sexton

Today's Exclusive Content Beyond the Box: How FedEx Is Winning as Tech SlumpsReported by Jeffrey Neal Johnson. Article Posted: 2/20/2026. 
Key Points- The planned separation of the freight business is expected to unlock significant shareholder value by removing the conglomerate discount.
- Network integration and fleet modernization are driving structural cost reductions while improving operational efficiency across the board.
- A strategic acquisition in Europe is positioning the company to capture global e-commerce growth through a vast network of automated parcel lockers.
- Special Report: If you've saved carefully, read this first (From Reagan Gold Group)
The winter of 2026 has brought a distinct chill to the technology sector, with investors increasingly questioning the sky-high valuations of software and artificial intelligence (AI) companies. Yet, amid this Software-mageddon, a different kind of giant is heating up. On Feb. 17, 2026, FedEx Corporation (NYSE: FDX) reached a new intraday high of $381.99, signaling a decisive shift in market sentiment. Investors should view this as more than a random fluctuation. Over the past 30 days, FedEx’s stock price has climbed more than 21%, decoupling from the broader transportation index and leaving its primary rival, United Parcel Service (NYSE: UPS), in the rearview mirror. This divergence reflects a rotation of capital out of speculative tech and into industrial companies with tangible assets, visible cash flows and concrete plans to unlock shareholder value. The market appears to be betting that FedEx’s ambitious restructuring is no longer just a presentation — it is already showing up in the company's financials. The June Catalyst: Why Two Stocks Are Better Than OneThe Wall Street Journal is asking whether a stock market crash is coming. Research from Weiss Ratings suggests the first half of 2026 could be very tough for certain stocks as a radical shift hits the market. Some of America's most popular names could take serious damage. Analysts have identified five stocks you should consider avoiding before this event plays out. If these are in your portfolio, you'll want to review your positions carefully. See the five stocks to avoid and learn what's driving this shift. The most immediate driver of this rally is tidy financial engineering. FedEx has confirmed it will spin off its Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) unit, FedEx Freight, into a standalone public company. The transaction is scheduled to be executed on June 1, 2026. For years, investors have argued FedEx suffered a conglomerate discount — the complex whole trading below the sum of its parts. FedEx Freight is a higher-margin business, generating about $8.9 billion in revenue in fiscal 2025. Separating it should allow the market to value the freight business more like a premium trucking carrier and the parcel business like a focused logistics operator. The spin-off will be a tax-free distribution of shares, meaning current FedEx shareholders will soon own stock in two distinct entities: legacy FedEx Corp and the soon-to-be-listed FDXF on the NYSE. To signal seriousness, FedEx has appointed seasoned executives to lead the new firm, with R. Brad Martin named Chairman and John A. Smith as CEO. That clarity has removed a major layer of uncertainty and given institutional investors the green light to buy. Cutting Costs, Not Corners: Network 2.0 and the Air OverhaulWhile the spin-off unlocks financial value, the company’s DRIVE program is radically overhauling operations. Management says it is on track to deliver $1 billion in permanent cost reductions this fiscal year. The cornerstone is Network 2.0. Historically, FedEx operated two parallel networks — Express (air) and Ground — which often meant inefficiency, such as two different drivers visiting the same office park. Network 2.0 merges these into a single surface logistics system. The company is closing redundant facilities, targeting more than 475 station closures by 2027. We are seeing this play out: FedEx confirmed the closure of its Ship Center in Bloomington, Indiana (effective Feb. 28, 2026), and another in Springfield, Missouri (effective March 28, 2026), demonstrating the plan is being implemented and immediately reducing overhead. At the same time, FedEx is redefining its air strategy with a Tricolor network design: - Purple: Owned jets flying overnight for high-priority packages.
- Orange: Owned jets operating during the day for deferred freight.
- White: Partner capacity for lower-yield volumes.
Importantly, FedEx is taking a different tack than UPS on fleet utilization. While UPS recently retired its MD-11 aircraft, FedEx plans to return its grounded MD-11 fleet to service by May 31, 2026. The MD-11 offers massive cargo density. By using these aircraft on the Orange daytime network, FedEx can move heavy, less-urgent freight more cheaply without clogging the premium overnight Purple network. It’s a strategy focused on asset utilization rather than pure speed. Playing Offense: Solving the Europe Puzzle and Beating UPSThe divergence between FedEx and UPS has arguably never been wider. In the most recent quarter, FedEx grew revenue by 6.8%, while UPS reported a 3.3% decline. UPS is currently in a shrink-to-grow phase, cutting 12,000 management positions to protect margins. FedEx, by contrast, is eliminating structural inefficiencies while aggressively taking market share in premium segments. That aggression is most visible in Europe. Historically, FedEx struggled with profitable residential deliveries there because of high labor and fuel costs. The solution: a consortium-led acquisition of InPost S.A., valuing the company at €7.8 billion ($9.2 billion). This deal is a strategic play for last-mile economics. InPost operates more than 60,000 automated parcel lockers across Europe. Delivering 50 packages to a single locker bank is far cheaper than driving a van to 50 separate homes. By acquiring a 37% stake and integrating that network, FedEx sidesteps the costly doorstep-delivery model that erodes margins. It also helps neutralize Amazon’s (NASDAQ: AMZN) infrastructure advantage in the region and offers a low-cost delivery option that European consumers increasingly prefer. A Defensive Growth FortressDespite trading at record highs, FedEx does not look expensive relative to its growth prospects. The stock trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of roughly 20.7x — attractive compared with the 30x–40x multiples common in the tech sector. Wall Street analysts are adjusting their views: Jefferies raised its price target to $425 and Wells Fargo to $430, implying notable upside remains. Investors should, however, remain mindful of risks. Pilot contract negotiations remain in federal mediation, and changes to the de minimis exemption for Chinese imports represent about a $150 million headwind. FedEx has mitigated some of these exposures by reallocating capacity toward Southeast Asia and Europe. Ultimately, FedEx has evolved from a cyclical barometer into a self-help story of structural transformation. With the June spin-off acting as a clear catalyst and Network 2.0 driving margin expansion, FDX offers a combination of industrial safety and growth-equity upside. In a market wary of AI bubbles, FedEx is delivering what many investors now prize: real profits, tangible assets and a clear roadmap to value.
