Is Forward Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:FWDI) a buy in 2026?
Yes, on balance. The Compass leans toward accumulating Forward Industries, Inc. at current levels.
A 65-year-old product design shop reborn as the largest publicly listed Solana treasury, trading at a modest premium to its SOL stack.
Where FWDI is headed
Forward Industries today is a vehicle for one bet: that Solana becomes the dominant settlement layer for consumer-scale crypto applications, and that holding staked SOL on a public balance sheet becomes a legitimate way for US equity investors to express that view. The legacy design business is a rounding error. What matters is the SOL stack, the staking yield (currently running around 7% annualized on native SOL), and whether management can keep accreting SOL per share faster than dilution destroys it. By late 2027, if Solana sits where I think it will (processing a meaningful share of stablecoin settlement, hosting the bulk of on-chain consumer apps, and trading north of $400), FWDI's treasury alone could be worth multiples of today's market cap, with the staking yield compounding quietly inside the entity at tax-advantaged rates versus holding spot SOL directly.
