FTI Consulting Inc. (NYSE: FCN), a global business advisory firm, saw its stock price plummet 7.64% on October 24, 2024, after reporting disappointing third-quarter financial results that missed analyst estimates.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, FTI Consulting reported earnings per share (EPS) of $1.85, which fell short of the analyst consensus estimate of $2.06 by 10.19%. The company's revenue of $926 million increased 3.7% year-over-year but missed the analyst forecast of $946.2 million by 2.14%.
The weaker-than-expected results were primarily attributed to lower demand and realized bill rates in the Corporate Finance & Restructuring segment, which more than offset higher demand in the Economic Consulting and Technology segments. FTI Consulting's net income declined 21% year-over-year to $66.5 million, while Adjusted EBITDA fell to $102.9 million, or 11.1% of revenues, compared to $118.7 million, or 13.3% of revenues, in the prior year quarter.
