Alta Equipment Group's stock dipped following Volvo's warning of a North American truck market slowdown in 2026, fueled by weaker demand and tariff concerns. This drop, amidst broader economic anxieties and regional bank loan issues, highlights the stock's volatile year with over 50 major price swings.
