Forward Air is trading 11.29% up now at $19.80, with the move appearing mainly connected to stronger industrial-sector sentiment ahead of manufacturing PMI data.

  • Industrials were up 1.50% pre-market as investors anticipate manufacturing PMI data.
  • No new company-specific announcement was identified for August 20–21, 2026; the latest investor-relations release remains the August 5 second-quarter report.
  • Earlier earnings showed record $673 million revenue and $93 million EBITDA, but that catalyst is not fresh.
