Market context

Why it moved

FTI Consulting (FCN) shares declined as the stock continued to face selling pressure ahead of its Q2 2026 earnings report, with investor sentiment weighed down by ongoing challenges in a non-core segment that have depressed expectations, as noted by at least one institutional investor who listed FTI Consulting among its top quarterly detractors.

What is happening

Recent company-specific developments and publisher coverage.

July 17, 2026FTI Consulting closed modestly lower as broader market weakness — driven by AI sector concerns, escalating U.S.-Iran tensions, and a tech-led selloff — weighed on consulting and business services names. The backdrop includes lingering pressure from IBM's recent earnings warning, which rattled IT consulting peers by flagging enterprise budget shifts toward hardware over services. Against this headwind, FTI has seen notable insider confidence, with the CEO, CFO, and Chief Strategy Officer collectively buying ~$2.08M in shares in May, alongside a $370M board-approved buyback.

-1.2274

July 16, 2026FTI Consulting shares rose roughly 2.3%, outperforming the broader industrials sector (XLI), as investors responded positively to a confluence of constructive developments: notable insider buying by the CEO, CFO, and Chief Strategy Officer totaling ~$2.1M over the past 90 days, a $370M board-approved share buyback, and continued strategic talent additions in high-demand areas including financial crime risk and energy advisory. The gains came despite headwinds from IBM's dramatic 25% earnings warning that rattled IT services and consulting peers, suggesting the market is viewing FCN's differentiated litigation and economic consulting model as relatively insulated from the enterprise software spending shift.

2.2809

July 15, 2026FTI Consulting closed modestly higher, outperforming consulting sector peers rattled by IBM's historic 25% plunge after a Q2 revenue warning signaling enterprise budget shifts toward AI hardware over software and services. While peers like Gartner and DXC fell 3–4% on IBM contagion fears, FCN's differentiated exposure to litigation, restructuring, and forensic advisory helped insulate it. Investor focus is building toward Q2 earnings on July 30, with the $370M buyback authorization and fresh senior hires in Energy & Utilities and Risk & Investigations reinforcing management's growth and capital-return conviction.

0.979

July 14, 2026FTI Consulting closed down modestly, caught in a broader selloff across consulting and professional services stocks after IBM issued a surprise Q2 revenue warning that sparked a sector-wide panic. IBM's miss raised concerns that enterprise clients are reprioritizing IT and consulting spend, pulling peers like Gartner and Kyndryl sharply lower and weighing on FCN. This comes ahead of FTI's own Q2 2026 results on July 30, where investors will scrutinize margin recovery and segment performance — particularly in Economic Consulting, which showed weakness in FY2025. The XLI industrials ETF edged higher in after-hours trading, but FTI's consulting-specific exposure kept it under pressure, with analysts maintaining a consensus 'Hold' and a $174.50 average price target despite a $370 million buyback authorization and recent insider purchases by both the CEO and CFO.

-1.4107

July 14, 2026FTI Consulting shares rose sharply, outperforming the broader industrials sector (XLI essentially flat) and the S&P 500, which faced headwinds from renewed U.S.-Iran tensions and oil price spikes. The gain comes amid growing investor confidence ahead of the company's Q2 2026 earnings release, expected July 30, with analysts projecting strong 24% earnings growth for the year. Recent catalysts include a $370 million share buyback authorization, expanded revolving credit facility, and notable insider buying by the CEO and CFO in May — all signaling management conviction at levels near current prices.

3.0346

July 10, 2026FTI Consulting closed modestly higher, outperforming the broader industrials sector (XLI), as investors look ahead to the company's Q2 2026 earnings release scheduled for July 30. Recent company news includes the appointment of a UK TMT practice head and a newly published enterprise AI governance study conducted by FTI, signaling continued demand for its advisory services. The consulting sector navigated a volatile week shaped by U.S.-Iran military exchanges and oil price swings that rattled business services peers, making FTI's relative resilience notable.

1.3438

July 9, 2026FTI Consulting shares closed modestly lower as consulting sector peers faced headwinds from renewed U.S.-Iran geopolitical tensions, which reignited inflation fears and prompted corporate clients to defer discretionary spending — a direct risk to demand for advisory services. Investors are also eyeing FTI's upcoming Q2 2026 earnings call scheduled for July 30, alongside a recently expanded credit facility and a new AI governance study conducted by the firm, which highlights its positioning at the intersection of enterprise AI and regulatory compliance. The company also announced a senior UK TMT leadership hire, reinforcing its Strategic Communications buildout in London.

-1.0168

July 8, 2026FTI Consulting closed modestly lower amid a broad risk-off session triggered by renewed U.S.-Iran hostilities, which drove oil prices sharply higher and weighed on industrials and consulting peers. Two company-specific developments provided some context: FTI expanded its senior unsecured revolving credit facility to $1.5 billion—a move analysts note underscores financial flexibility—and appointed telecoms veteran Juliet Callaghan as UK Head of TMT within its Strategic Communications segment, signaling continued investment in its London advisory practice despite a stock that has declined roughly 16% over the past 90 days and trades below its estimated fair value of ~$174.
