    FTI Consulting (FCN): Reassessing Valuation After a Quiet 3‑Month Share Price Rebound

    FTI Consulting (FCN) has quietly outperformed the market over the past 3 months, gaining about 10% even as its year to date return is still negative. That combination makes the current setup interesting.

    See our latest analysis for FTI Consulting.

    The recent 1 month share price return of about 8 percent and 3 month share price return near 10 percent, against a weaker year to date share price return and slightly negative 1 year total shareholder return, suggests momentum is rebuilding as investors warm back up to FTI Consulting’s growth and risk profile.

    If FCN’s rebound has you thinking about what else might be quietly gaining traction, now is a good moment to explore fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.

    With earnings still growing at a healthy clip but the share price lagging over the past year, the real question now is whether FTI Consulting is quietly undervalued or if the market already sees the next leg of growth coming.

    Most Popular Narrative: 5.9% Overvalued

    With FTI Consulting last closing at $175.85 against a narrative fair value of $166.00, the story tilts toward a modestly rich valuation that still assumes solid execution ahead.

    The analysts have a consensus price target of $185.0 for FTI Consulting based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors.

    In order for you to agree with the analyst's consensus, you'd need to believe that by 2028, revenues will be $4.3 billion, earnings will come to $358.3 million, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 15.9x, assuming you use a discount rate of 7.2%.

    Read the complete narrative.

    Curious how steady revenue expansion, margin uplift, and a lower future earnings multiple still point to upside from here? The narrative unpacks a tight, numbers driven path that might surprise you.

    Result: Fair Value of $166 (OVERVALUED)

    Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts.

    However, faster than expected adoption of AI tools or a slowdown in restructuring and litigation demand could quickly undermine the current growth narrative.

    Another Angle on Valuation

    On earnings, FCN looks cheap rather than rich. It trades on about 20 times earnings versus 21.7 times for peers, while our fair ratio points nearer 24 times. That gap hints at upside if sentiment normalizes, but also raises the question of whether earnings can keep justifying a catch up.
