Forward Air signs non-binding MOU to retain half or more of a large customer's business
On July 20, 2026, Forward Air entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding with one of its largest customers, which plans to move part of its services to other providers. Under the MOU, the company expects to retain at least half of the approximately $250 million of revenue attributed to the customer for fiscal 2025, with potential to keep about 25% more, and the contract term for retained services would extend at least two years. Because the MOU is not binding, the final outcome remains uncertain for shareholders.
