Summary
$1.4 billion will buy FedEx Supply Chain for CMA CGM, in a deal expected to close in 2026 and sharply expand its U.S. logistics footprint.

CMA CGM and FedEx also plan multi-year ocean and air freight agreements, making CMA CGM a preferred non-exclusive ocean carrier for FedEx and adding select air cargo cooperation through 2028.
FedEx said the sale helps streamline its portfolio and sharpen focus on higher-value sectors including healthcare, automotive, aerospace and data centers.
