FedEx finalizes divestiture of its supply‑chain unit to CMA CGM
FedEx Corp. completed the sale of its FedEx Supply Chain subsidiary to the CMA CGM Group on October 1, 2026. The transaction was announced at an enterprise value of $1.4 billion, though another source reported $1.8 billion. The deal expands CEVA Logistics' North American footprint, adding roughly 34 million square feet of warehouse space and 130 customers, and doubles its workforce to about 20,000 people. FedEx will now concentrate on its core transportation and parcel services, while CMA CGM gains a larger contract‑logistics platform.
Why it matters
The company says the divestiture lets FedEx focus on higher‑margin core services, which could improve operating efficiency. CMA CGM’s acquisition adds significant warehousing capacity and customer base, potentially boosting its logistics revenue.
