Forum Announces Initiation of Analyst Coverage by Clear Street

Clear Street Initiates with Buy Rating and $11.00 Price Target

PALM BEACH, Fla., May 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Forum Markets, Incorporated (NASDAQ:FRMM), a digital asset platform modernizing capital markets through the tokenization of real-world assets, today announced that Clear Street has initiated coverage of the company's common stock with a Buy rating and a price target of $11.00 per share.

The research report, authored by Brian Dobson, Justin Pan, and Greg Pendy, was published on May 11, 2026. Clear Street's initiation highlights Forum's position as a regulated, public-market platform for tokenizing institutional-grade real-world assets on Ethereum, and the company's strategy of deploying capital into revenue-generating assets — including auto loans, manufactured housing finance, and aviation assets — prior to tokenization in order to generate near-term yield income while building the infrastructure to monetize those assets at scale. Clear Street estimates approximately 145% upside to its $11.00 price target, underpinned by its outlook for approximately 211% revenue growth in 2027.

"We welcome Clear Street's initiation of coverage of Forum Markets," said McAndrew Rudisill, chairman and chief executive officer. "Forum has made significant progress in a short period of time — we have built asset origination partnerships, launched our first tokenized product, established our auto loan warehouse facility, and established an AI infrastructure bridge financing origination pipeline – all of which we believe reflects a clear and achievable path to scale. Independent research coverage from a firm of Clear Street's caliber helps communicate the Forum story to a broader institutional investor audience and validates the platform thesis at this early stage of our development."

The Clear Street report cites several key investment considerations, including Forum's live capital deployment across aerospace, manufactured housing, auto credit, and AI chip bridge financing; a vertically integrated origination-through-distribution model supported by equity stakes in Karus, Zippy, and Liquidity.io parent Satschel, Inc.; and material capital return activity including the retirement of approximately 28% of shares outstanding in April 2026. The report also notes that Forum shares trade at approximately 0.46x Clear Street's net asset value estimate.

A copy of the Clear Street research report is available through Clear Street's distribution channels. Investors who would like access to the report should contact their Clear Street representative.
