Someone with a lot of money thinks that FedEx's stock price will go down. They bought options that let them sell FedEx's stock at a certain price, even if the price goes down. This is called a "put" option. If the stock price goes down, they can sell it for a higher price than the market price, and make money. If the stock price stays the same or goes up, they will lose some money, but not as much as if they had bought a "call" option, which lets them buy stock at a certain price.
