In Tuesday’s trading session, Nvidia (NVDA) rebounded decisively, rising by 6.76%. The stock wants to erase a sell-off that sent the stock below $118. Shares last traded below that level on June 4. YTD, shares are up 161.76%.

FedEx (FDX) will open up by nearly 15% this morning. The company posted fourth-quarter results that exceeded estimates. Revenue increased by 0.9% Y/Y to $22.1 billion. EPS of $5.41 is ahead of estimates by four cents. It earned $4.94 last year.
FedEx said it would buy $2.5 billion in common stock. In the current quarter (Q1), it will buy $1.0 billion. Just as Apple (AAPL) posted weak results but announced a mega-stock buyback, FedEx is doing the same. This sets a floor on FDX stock.
