FTI Consulting Shares Drop 8.37% as Q1 EPS Miss and Antitrust Share Loss Weigh

1 articles · Updated · Yahoo Finance · Aug 13

Summary

  • FTI Consulting shares fell after its Q1 2026 results disappointed, with the stock down 8.37% over the past month and 9.98% over 52 weeks.
  • Q1 revenue held up, but EPS missed analyst expectations as SG&A expenses rose and management said those costs are likely to persist through the rest of 2026.
  • The pressure was amplified by market-share losses in U.S. antitrust consulting within FTI’s Economic Consulting segment, with management warning a recovery could take multiple quarters.
  • FTI still reaffirmed full-year 2026 guidance and authorized an additional $307 million for share repurchases, even as investor Sycamore Capital said its thesis on the stock is under review.
