A Breakout Beyond The AI Trade

In a market where AI-linked mega-cap technology stocks continue to command most of the attention, finding strength outside of that theme has become increasingly difficult. Many areas of the market have struggled to gain traction, which is why one setup in the transportation space recently caught my eye. The name is FedEx Corp. (FDX), a stock that enjoyed a strong advance throughout much of 2025 before spending the past two and a half months digesting those gains in a tight, orderly base. More recently, the shares have begun carving out a pattern of higher highs and higher lows, breaking out to a fresh 52-week high while the MACD indicator crossed above its trigger line last week, a signal that often points to momentum beginning to reaccelerate beneath the surface.

In terms of how I’d look to gain exposure to this move, investors could certainly consider participating through stock ownership, but I find the options market particularly interesting here. With FDX trading near $329 per share and options carrying elevated premiums, an in-the-money call debit spread offers a defined-risk approach that can still participate in upside while reducing capital outlay. One current spread structure offers a maximum possible return of roughly 57% if the stock is higher, unchanged, or even modestly lower—up to about 10%—by expiration, creating a wider margin for error than a traditional directional call purchase.
