Summary FTI Consulting posted record Q3 2025 results, driven by Corporate Finance & Restructuring, but structural growth remains elusive. Economic Consulting and Technology segments underperformed, with EC revenues down 22% YoY and operating at a loss, limiting upside potential.

Summary FTI Consulting, Inc. is expected to report Q1 '25 earnings with modest growth; analysts predict $1.79 adjusted EPS on $906.68M revenue, but demand issues persist.
