FTI Consulting Q3 revenue tops estimates
FCN•FTI Consulting’s Q3 revenue rose 6% to $1.01 billion, slightly beating the $1.007 billion estimate. It reaffirmed 2026 revenue guidance, raised adjusted EPS guidance to $9.50-$10.00 and lowered EPS guidance to $7.55-$8.05.
1. Quarterly results
FTI Consulting said Q3 revenue increased 6%, driven by growth across all business segments. Adjusted EPS rose 48% to a record, while GAAP EPS fell 10%; net income and GAAP EPS were reduced by a $46 million special charge related to aligning staffing with demand, as well as higher direct costs, SG&A and interest expense.
2. 2026 outlook
The company reaffirmed its 2026 revenue guidance of $3.94 billion to $4.10 billion. It lowered EPS guidance to $7.55-$8.05 from $8.70-$9.30 and raised adjusted EPS guidance to $9.50-$10.00 from $9.10-$9.70. Corporate Finance revenue growth reflected higher success fees and realized bill rates, partly offset by lower demand for turnaround and restructuring and transactions services.
