FORWARD AIR CORP. DL-,01

Forward Air's stock fell about 23% to $16.37 after Clearlake Capital and Apollo said they would no longer pursue an offer for a complete sale, making a full takeover unlikely. Additional downside risks stem from Amazon's possible expansion into the LTL business in 2026, J.P. Morgan warns. Forward Air reported Q4 2025 EPS of -$0.91 and is set to release further quarterly results on May 6, while the stock is trading near its 52-week low. » Altro su de.investing.com
