7-boy : i think $FedEx (FDX.US)$ will make the biggest gain

Lucas Cheah : $Ferguson (FERG.US)$  stands to benefit from construction demand and its operational efficiencies, though it faces risks from economic volatility and inflation.

$General Mills (GIS.US)$  offers stable growth through a diversified product portfolio, especially in the pet food and organic categories, but faces challenges in managing costs and consumer demand shifts.

$FedEx (FDX.US)$  continues to leverage e-commerce growth and its cost-cutting initiatives to enhance profitability, although competition and macroeconomic factors could present headwinds.

Each company presents a mix of growth opportunities and risks, largely tied to broader economic conditions, consumer behavior, and industry-specific challenges.
