Forward Air Corp (FWRD): Next-Year EPS Estimate 124.07%
As of 2026-10-20, Forward Air Corp (FWRD) has a next-year EPS growth estimate of 124.07%. Featured in 2 EPS revision reports, most recently on 2026-07-22.
On 2026-10-07, analyst consensus for FWRD's next-year EPS growth shifted from 128.37% to 124.07% — a negative change of 4.30 percentage points. The revised estimate has been sustained across 12 subsequent trading sessions. Current-year growth is projected at 61.60%.
What's Driving This
The available EPS revision data shows a downgrade, not an upgrade: on 2026-08-13 analysts cut next-year EPS growth estimates from 148.81% to 128.37%, a 20.44 percentage point reduction. That revision does not structurally explain recent share strength, though Q2 2026 headlines citing record revenue and strategic wins may have contributed to positive sentiment. No clear headline-to-estimate linkage supports the move, and the trend's continuation beyond the revision is not established here.
