“Shares of FedEx tumbled 9% following the news”
DISPUTED
One source states FedEx and UPS shares fell by 'more than 6%' on May 4, while the claim specifies a 9% tumble for FedEx. Another source mentions a 'shock wave' but doesn't specify the exact percentage. The discrepancy between 'more than 6%' and '9%' makes it disputed or at least not fully corroborated by the provided evidence.
