FedEx Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>) reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 after the market close on Thursday. Here&#8217;s a look at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/b40947326/fedex-reports-first-quarter-diluted-eps-of-3-21-and-adjusted-diluted-eps-of-3-60">key metrics from the quarter</a>.
Q1 Earnings: FedEx reported first-quarter revenue of $21.6 billion, missing analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">estimates</a> of $21.955 billion, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. The company reported first-quarter adjusted earnings of $3.60 per share, missing analyst estimates of $4.80 per share.
FedEx said its first-quarter&nbsp;results were negatively affected by a mix shift, which reduced demand for priority services, increased demand for deferred services and constrained yield growth. The quarter was also impacted by higher operating expenses and one fewer operating day in the quarter.
Federal Express operating results fell during the quarter due to lower U.S. domestic priority package volume. Increased wage and purchased transportation rates also negatively impacted operating results. FedEx Freight operating results decreased during the quarter due to a decline in weight per shipment and reduced priority shipments.
FedEx noted it completed a $1 billion accelerated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/buybacks">buyback</a> during the quarter. The company expects to repurchase an additional $1.5 billion of its common stock during fiscal 2025. As of Aug. 31, $4.1 billion remained on the buyback program. FedEx said it ended the quarter with $5.9 billion in cash on hand.
&#8220;Despite a challenging quarter, we remain focused on transforming our network, improving our efficiency, lowering our cost-to-serve, and enhancing our ability to adapt with speed to evolving market dynamics,&#8221; said&nbsp;Raj Subramaniam, president and CEO of FedEx.
&#8220;Overall, I remain confident in the value-creation opportunities ahead as we focus on reducing our structural cost, growing revenue profitably, and leveraging the insights from our vast collection of data as we continue to build the world&#8217;s most flexible, efficient and intelligent network.&#8221;

Outlook: FedEx revised its full-year outlook lower. The company now sees full-year 2025 revenue growing in the low single-digit range, versus its prior outlook of revenue growth in the low-to-mid single-digits. 
The company also lowered its full-year earnings forecast from a range of $18.25 to $20.25 per share to a new range of $17.90 to $18.90 per share.
Management will hold a conference call to discuss these quarterly results at 5:30 p.m. ET.
FDX Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/fdx">FedEx shares</a> were down 8.94% in after hours, trading at $273.55 at the time of publication Thursday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.

The European Commission has officially <a href="https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000011_en">registered</a> the PsychedeliCare initiative, which advocates for establishing a transnational legal framework for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/psychedelic-assisted-therapies">psychedelic-assisted treatments</a> for mental health disorders. As Green Market Report <a href="https://www.greenmarketreport.com/eu-initiative-begins-bid-to-open-access-to-psychedelic-therapies/">outlined</a>, this European Citizens&#8217; Initiative aims to create progressive regulations around psychedelic therapies across the E.U.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Aiming For Legal Framework On Psychedelic Therapies</h3>
"We are scientists, medical doctors, therapists, neuroscience researchers, creative and marketing professionals, artists, policy experts, human and civil rights activists, spiritual practitioners and educators. Together, united behind science and knowledge of EU laws, the goal of our initiative is to enable Europeans to access safe, regulated and conscientious Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy", the group states on its website.
The PsychedeliCare initiative seeks to promote expert consensus on the standards of care in psychedelic-assisted therapy, covering therapist training, ethical guidelines and safety measures. It also calls for E.U.-funded research to strengthen the evidence on the safety and efficacy of psychedelic treatments for mental health conditions.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Economic Impact And Unmet Needs</h3>
Organizers of the initiative highlighted the high economic toll of mental health disorders in the E.U., <a href="https://www.oecd.org/en/topics/sub-issues/mental-health.html">estimated</a> at $669.4 billion annually by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. With 50% of psychiatric patients not responding to current treatments, the initiative underscores the need for innovative approaches like psychedelic therapies. The E.U. has approved just one psychiatric treatment in the last three years, compared to 68 new oncology treatments.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Global Momentum For Psychedelics</h3>
The PsychedeliCare organizers point to international developments, including the U.S. FDA&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/fda-breakthrough-designation">breakthrough therapy designations</a> for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mdma-assisted-therapy">MDMA</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/psilocybin-assisted-therapy">psilocybin</a>, as well as Canada&#8217;s and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/01/36770123/australian-psychiatrists-provide-first-psychedelic-assisted-medical-treatments-in-50-years">Australia's</a> advancements in allowing psychedelic-assisted therapies for anxiety and depression. The initiative hopes to encourage the E.U. to follow suit and incentivize mental health R&amp;D.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Signature Collection: The Next Step</h3>
To move forward, PsychedeliCare must collect 1 million signatures within a year, meeting the minimum thresholds in at least seven E.U. countries. If successful, the European Commission will be required to respond and consider potential legal action. The initiative also seeks to position Europe as a global hub for psychedelic therapy innovation.

European Initiative Pushes For Psychedelic Therapy Reform To Address $669B Mental Health Problem: The Goal Is To Gather 1 Million Signatures

In the latest chapter of Alabama&#8217;s medical cannabis rollout saga, local cannabis company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/alabama-always-llc">Alabama Always, LLC</a> has filed a lawsuit against the Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission (AMCC), seeking a partial summary judgment and a permanent injunction. <a href="https://www.alreporter.com/2024/09/18/new-amcc-lawsuit-chaos-delays-and-broken-rules-in-alabamas-cannabis-rollout/">According</a> to Alabama Political Reporter, the lawsuit accuses the AMCC of violating the Alabama Administrative Procedure Act (AAPA), citing numerous procedural failures that have derailed the state's medical cannabis program, leaving thousands of patients in limbo.
At the core of the legal battle are the Commission's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/12/36115077/cannabis-licensing-saga-continues-in-alabama-troubled-marijuana-regulator-hit-with-new-lawsuit">controversial decisions on integrated license awards</a> and denials in 2023. Alabama Always argues that these decisions were not only flawed but illegal, claiming the AMCC bypassed mandatory contested case hearings and violated its own blind scoring rules.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Key Allegations Against The AMCC</h3>
Alabama Always alleges that the AMCC&#8217;s reliance on an "investigative hearing" process undermines transparency and due process. The company contends that the Commission's refusal to follow the AAPA and its insistence on continuing with its invalid hearing practices will only further delay the already troubled rollout of medical cannabis.
In addition to these claims, the lawsuit targets the AMCC's adoption of an "emergency rule" in October 2023, which the plaintiff says was implemented without the required public notice or comment. According to Alabama Always, the rule was designed to fast-track the licensing process at the expense of transparency and accountability.
Attorney Will Somerville, representing Alabama Always, emphasized the Commission's failure to comply with state law. &#8220;They have never explained why some people got licenses and some didn't. Most egregiously to me, they didn't explain how they thought some people could do the job of producing medical cannabis while others couldn't," Somerville said, urging the court to force the AMCC to start fresh and adhere to legal requirements.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Legal Delays Impact Patients And Businesses</h3>
The lawsuit isn&#8217;t just a bureaucratic battle; real lives are at stake. Patients in Alabama waiting for access to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/medical-cannabis">medical cannabis</a> continue to suffer as the Commission's administrative failures drag on. Observers have criticized the AMCC for prioritizing self-preservation over fixing the flawed process.
As the legal process unfolds, Judge James H. Anderson will determine whether Alabama Always's motion will reset the entire licensing process, or if the AMCC will continue its current practices, further entrenching uncertainty for the patients and businesses involved.

On Friday, September 13, Washington D.C. authorities shut down Green Cloud Shop, an unlicensed cannabis business, as part of a broader crackdown on illegal cannabis operations.
The Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Administration (ABCA), alongside the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), <a href="https://abca.dc.gov/release/abca-shutters-illegally-operating-cannabis-business#gsc.tab=0">padlocked</a> the shop. The owner, a 49-year-old man, was arrested and charged with Possession with Intent to Distribute and Operating a Business After Certificate of Authority had been revoked.
This measure came in the context of an ongoing conflict with unregulated &#8220;gift economy&#8221; cannabis shops, which were tolerated in the past but are now being pushed to adapt to regulations, <a href="https://www.axios.com/local/washington-dc/2024/09/18/marijuana-dispensary-gifting-shops-crackdown">reported</a> Axios.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Say Goodbye To D.C.&#8217;s Cannabis Gifting Economy</h3>
Cannabis gifting shops in D.C. have long used a loophole by "gifting" marijuana when customers purchase other products. This allowed them to bypass laws against recreational cannabis sales, in the context of the tricky legal situation affecting Washington D.C. cannabis.
However, city officials are now stepping up enforcement. The more than 100 unlicensed shops that are currently operating are seen as a major threat to the legal medical cannabis market.
The crackdown comes after the D.C. Council green-lit an emergency bill to give city officials the authority to impose penalties on unlicensed cannabis stores <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/01/36597430/new-emergency-law-empowers-authorities-to-crack-down-on-cannabis-gifting-shops-in-d-c">earlier this year</a>. D.C. lawmakers, including progressive members, are backing this crackdown due to concerns about crime around all-cash businesses and the proximity of some shops to schools and daycare facilities.

Signs Bill Eliminating Medical Marijuana Tax, Iowa To Add 25% Excise Tax On Hemp &amp; More</a></li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Latest Developments In D.C.</h3>
Green Cloud Shop's closure is part of a new wave of enforcement following the Medical Cannabis Conditional License and Unlicensed Establishment Closure Clarification Emergency Amendment Act of 2024. This law, enacted in July, grants the ABCA enhanced authority to close illegal businesses.
Green Cloud is the second illicit cannabis business closed by ABCA since the new law went into effect. 
Curiously, authorities reported padlocking the access to the store. This echoes New York&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40910485/is-mayor-adams-crackdown-on-illegal-cannabis-working-nyc-council-weighs-in-after-1-000-store-clo">special operation</a> that cracked down on illicit cannabis during the first few months of the year.
In addition to the closures, the ABCA has issued 23 cease-and-desist orders and 79 warning letters to unlicensed cannabis businesses. Many shops, however, continue operating, with only a few being forced to shut down.
But still, property owners of illicit cannabis shops could face a $10,000 fine if they fail to comply with the ABCA's closure orders.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Struggle Of Legal D.C. Cannabis Dispensaries</h3>
The crackdown comes at a crucial time for D.C.'s legal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/06/39262441/washington-provides-tax-break-for-medical-cannabis-users-but-is-it-enough">medical cannabis </a>market, which has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39937544/medical-marijuana-market-in-d-c-at-risk-of-perishing-affected-business-owner-explains">struggling to compete</a> with unlicensed operators. 
Adding to the pressure, D.C. dispensaries face stiff competition from Maryland's legal recreational market, where prices are often lower. Since January 2024, D.C.'s legal market has been in a steep decline, selling less than 400 pounds of flower per month.
