12 Industrials Stocks Moving In Tuesday's Pre-Market Session

Both Leading Proxy Advisory Firms Recommend Shareholders Vote AGAINST Chairman George Mayes, Jr., Director Javier Polit and Director Laurie Tucker
Glass Lewis Confirms That These Three Directors Are Unlikely to be "Procedurally Accretive" to the Ongoing Strategic Review
Ancora Holdings Group, LLC (together with its affiliates, "Ancora" or "we"), a significant shareholder of Forward Air Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FWRD#NASDAQ">FWRD</a>) ("Forward Air" or the "Company"), today announced that a second independent proxy advisory firm, Glass, Lewis &amp; Co. ("Glass Lewis"), has joined Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. ("ISS"), in recommending that Forward Air shareholders vote AGAINST the reelection of three members of the Board of Directors (the "Board") at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders: (1.) George S. Mayes, Jr., (2.) Javier Polit and (3.) Laurie A. Tucker.
In its report, Glass Lewis states the following regarding the case for removing these directors from the Board:1
<ul>
<li>"Are legacy directors who served during the questionable pursuit, fumbled execution and to-date maladroit implementation of the Omni deal credibly positioned to oversee Forward's current assessment of value-maximizing opportunities? We believe the answer is a firm no."</li>
<li>"[I]nvestors do not have clear and compelling cause to believe Messrs. Mayes and Polit and Ms. Tucker are likely to be procedurally accretive and indeed have ample cause to conclude they have not been effective in preserving and enhancing shareholder value, particularly in the context of transformative transactions."</li>

This signifies a substantial increase in the company's top-line earnings. As compared to its peers, the company achieved a growth rate higher than the average among peers in Industrials sector.

<h2>The Basics of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Analysts work in banking and financial systems and typically specialize in reporting for stocks or defined sectors.

Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter.
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings.

Semiconductor components, as reflected by the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>), are among the other top performers in the index on Wednesday. Trump's tariffs raised concerns about disruptions to a global supply chain spanning the Americas and Asia.
Only around 2.5% of companies in the index closed the day in the red, and around a third closed up over 10%.
Why it Matters: Trump&#8217;s tariff plan, a hallmark of his successful 2024 presidential campaign, sparked widespread fear on Wall Street. Economists generally view tariffs as stagflationary, causing both a cessation of economic growth and an increase in inflation.
From Trump&#8217;s election on Nov. 5, 2024, to April 8, the Russell 2000 index fell over 26%, putting it in bear market territory. The tariffs presumably were feared to hurt small-cap stocks more than large-cap counterparts, as the S&amp;P 500 and NASDAQ indexes saw comparatively smaller declines.
