It looks like FedEx has acquired a valuable 3 letter .com domain name. Whois records show FedEx is now the owner of FDX.com. The domain name transferred to CSC, and the Whois registrant is now listed as FedEx Corporate Services, Inc. FedEx stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the FDX ticker symbol.
Prior to the acquisition, FDX.com was owned by domain investor James Booth, who acquired the asset in November of 2022. Last week, James noted the deal was overseen by Andrew Miller from Hilco Digital:
Thanks to @amiller325gd and @HilcoDigital for overseeing the sale of our name https://t.co/sv79JjNy5D in a win-win for both myself and the buyer 🎉

I asked James if he was able to share the sale price, but he was unable to do so due to a non-disclosure agreement. Perhaps the sale price will be mentioned in a future SEC filing, although it seems unlikely that the price would be noteworthy enough to be mentioned.
At the time of publication, FDX.com uses FedEx nameservers, but the domain name does not resolve to an active website.
