Factors That Augur Well
FTI Consulting's current ratio (a measure of liquidity) stood at 2.26 at the end of second-quarter 2022, higher than the 2.16 recorded at the end of the prior-year quarter.

FCN has a unique potential to bring together diverse issues like damage assessment, accounting, economics, finance and the industry on a single platform. This makes it an excellent partner for global clients, generating continued revenue growth from the existing international operations.
FTI Consulting has a consistent track record of share repurchases. In 2021, 2020 and 2019, FCN repurchased shares worth $46.1 million, $353.4 million and $105.9 million. These initiatives not only instill investors’ confidence in the stock but also boost the earnings per share.
Some Risks
FTI Consulting makes most of its investments in hiring qualified professionals as well as promoting and training individuals. Such investments are necessary to enhance growth and are likely to benefit FCN in the long term. However, escalating investments in people are likely to weigh on the bottom line in initial stages.
