Forward Industries Posts $69M Q3 Loss Despite 332% Revenue Jump

Forward Industries had a wild third quarter — the kind where your revenue nearly quintuples year-over-year and you still end up reporting a massive loss.

Index inclusion is a big deal for smaller companies because it forces index-tracking funds to buy the stock automatically, which can broaden the institutional investor base and improve liquidity. For a crypto-forward company still building its credibility on Wall Street, that kind of recognition matters.
