FCN stock holds steady as guidance and revenue stay in view

FCN stock is anchored by $153.95 trading and a $4.25 billion market cap as investors weigh $993.46 million in quarterly revenue and FY 2026 EPS guidance of 8.700-9.300.

FTI Consulting Inc. (FCN) is trading around $153.95, giving it a market value of $4.25 billion as investors weigh a second-quarter revenue print of $993.46 million and FY 2026 EPS guidance of 8.700-9.300. The same update said earnings per share came in at $2.16, one cent below the $2.17 estimate.

Quarterly numbers

The most recent numbers point to a modest top-line beat but a narrow bottom-line miss. Revenue rose 5.3% year over year to $993.46 million, while EPS improved from $2.13 a year earlier to $2.16 in the latest quarter.

That mix matters because the company is still guiding for full-year EPS of 8.700-9.300, and the market is already pricing the shares at 18.62 times earnings. For a consulting group, the gap between steady revenue growth and margin discipline now matters more than a single quarter headline.

Consensus view

Analysts currently see a Hold rating and an average target of $174.50, which leaves the shares below that level after the latest $153.95 open. The spread between the market price and the consensus target is a useful reminder that expectations remain measured.

Return on equity stood at 15.91% in the same update, while net margin was 6.44%. Those two figures point to a business that is profitable, but not immune to pressure when client demand or project mix shifts.

Business mix

FTI Consulting's corporate finance and restructuring work remains the clearest way to read the stock, because the business depends on complex client assignments rather than recurring subscription revenue. That makes quarterly revenue, EPS, and guidance the key markers for investors.

Shares and view

Shares of FCN were last quoted at $153.95, with the company valued at $4.25 billion on the latest market snapshot. The stock trades below the $174.50 consensus target and above the $153 area that framed the latest session.
