FTI Consulting shares have dropped 13.8% over the past six months to $150.63, underperforming the S&P 500's 10.9% gain, and analysts at StockStory recommend avoiding the stock for now. The firm's annualized revenue growth slowed to 3.6% over the last two years, below its five-year trend, while earnings per share grew at a 5.7% compound annual rate over five years, lagging its 8.8% revenue growth and signaling declining per-share profitability. Free cash flow margin fell by 2.1 percentage points over the same period to 6.6% on a trailing 12-month basis, raising concerns about rising capital intensity. With the stock trading at a forward price-to-sales ratio of 1.1 times and insufficient earnings estimates to gauge valuation, StockStory sees better opportunities elsewhere.
FTI Consulting IncRevenue growth slowing, declining profitability, falling free cash flow margin, and analyst caution.
