FedEx Corp., operator of the world’s largest cargo airline, maintained its full-year profit forecast amid increasing concern that U.S. economic growth may slow.

The shares rose, as broader market indexes declined, after Memphis, Tennessee-based FedEx re-affirmed its fiscal 2013 earnings outlook of $6.20 to $6.60 a share, excluding costs associated with a voluntary buyout program.
