FCN FTI CONSULTING, INC Insider Trading

Chief Strategy Officer Alderman's first open-market purchase in 3 years reverses a 10-sale net-seller pattern, buying as stock trades well below 52-week highs.

Linton Paul Alderman, Chief Strategy Officer, purchased shares in his company for the first time in the 36-month period covered by available filings, a significant departure from his prior net-seller posture (10 prior open-market sales with only this purchase). The timing is notable: Alderman is buying while the stock trades well below its 52-week high, and his most recent prior trades at FCN—all sales from spring 2024—were well-timed exits; four of five measurable subsequent periods saw the stock decline, though longer-term results were mixed. Fundamentally, FTI Consulting remains profitable with modest annual revenue growth, and the company's valuation appears reasonable. The insider's reversal from seller to buyer after two years of inactivity, combined with his historical accuracy on prior exits from this stock, suggests he may see current weakness as an opportunity worth initiating a new position. However, this first purchase after an extended break and a long history of sales warrants monitoring to determine whether it represents sustained renewed conviction or a one-time reentry.

CEO and Chairman Gunby purchases 10,000 shares on single day as stock trades substantially below 52-week highs; strong buy track record at this company.

Gunby Steven Henry, FTI's CEO and Chairman, executed two open-market purchases totaling 10,000 shares on a single day, representing his second and third open-market purchases in the 36-month window. The timing is noteworthy: the stock has declined over recent months and is trading substantially below its 52-week high, yet Gunby is buying rather than selling—a reversal from his typical activity (23 prior sales versus only one prior open-market purchase across all holdings over 36 months). At FCN specifically, this filing marks his first multi-purchase activity since buying in October 2025, when that single purchase was followed by strong gains over both the subsequent month and quarter. FTI itself remains profitable and is growing revenue, though modestly, providing a fundamentally sound backdrop. For a CEO to step into the market and increase his direct shareholding from roughly 317,000 to 327,000 shares during a period of price weakness suggests confidence in the company's near-term trajectory, particularly given his track record of well-timed purchases at this ticker.

FTI Consulting CFO Nam Eun makes first open-market FCN purchase, buying 2,000 shares near the stock's 52-week low alongside two other insiders in a 14-day window.

FTI Consulting CFO Nam Eun made her first open-market purchase of FCN shares in the past three years, expanding her direct stake from roughly 19,592 to 21,592 shares at a time when the stock is trading near its 52-week low and well below its 52-week high, following sharp declines over both the past month and past quarter. What makes this stand out is the cluster context: two other insiders also bought shares within the same two-week window, meaning three insiders independently put personal capital to work at depressed price levels. FTI Consulting is a profitable company with modest but positive annual revenue growth and a valuation that appears reasonable relative to its earnings profile, so this purchase does not look like a speculative bet on a distressed business. Nam Eun's cross-ticker track record of open-market purchases shows well-timed results across both 30-day and 90-day horizons, though this is her first such purchase at FCN specifically, so that broader history provides directional context rather than a direct precedent. Together, the insider's role as CFO, the purchase size representing a meaningful addition to her holdings, the depressed price relative to the 52-week high, and the multi-insider buying pattern in a short window make this a filing that warrants attention.

FCN General Counsel Lu Curtis P sold 8,710 shares at $166.60 for $1,451,086.00; holds 44,955 post-transaction.

Lu Curtis P sold 8,710 shares (16.2% of pre-transaction holdings) at $166.60 on 2026-03-09. The stock currently trades at $162.37, down 11.5% from its 52-week high of $183.50 and down 9.3% over the past 30 days. At the same ticker, Curtis P's prior two sales occurred on 2025-06-09 (which saw 90-day gains of 6.4%) and 2024-02-26 (which saw 90-day gains of 1.7%), meaning neither prior sale was well-timed at the 90-day mark. The transaction occurs in a context of modest fundamental metrics: FTI Consulting reported $956.2M quarterly revenue, $82.8M net income, and annual growth of 2.4%, with a P/E of 19.33. The sale itself represents a discrete reduction in Curtis P's stake, but his prior sales at this ticker were not predictive of subsequent declines, and current price action does not yet reveal whether this trade will prove well-timed at future horizons.

CEO Gunby purchases 7,500 FCN shares at $151.12; builds position to 294,007 shares as stock recovers +3.1% in 30 days

CEO Steven Henry purchased 7,500 shares of FTI Consulting at $151.12 on 2025-10-24, increasing his holdings by 2.6% to 294,007 shares with a total outlay of $1,133,400.00. The transaction occurred near the 52-week low range ($151.68–$229.50), with the stock trading at a -27.4% discount to its recent high. Prior to this buy, Henry's cross-ticker track record showed a 25.00% well-timed rate on 20 prior sells, and at FCN specifically, all 5 prior transactions (five consecutive sells in May 2024) were well-timed at the 90-day mark. The current 30-day change of +3.1% since the purchase suggests early momentum, though the 90-day change of -2.6% indicates volatility. This buy, combined with historically strong timing discipline at the same ticker and the shareholder's position as CEO, Chairman, and President, merits investor attention as an executive commitment to the company's near-term outlook.

Lu Curtis P (General Counsel) sold 4,953 shares of FCN at $158.60 for $785,545.80 (13.0% of holdings).

Lu Curtis P, General Counsel of FTI Consulting, executed a discretionary open-market sale of 4,953 shares at $158.60 on 2025-06-09, reducing his holdings by 13.0% to 33,254 shares. The stock currently trades at $159.70, only 0.7% above the transaction price, but is -30.9% from its 52-week high of $231.00, indicating the company has experienced material pullback over the trailing year. His prior sale at this same ticker on 2024-02-26 had a 90-day return of +1.7%, meaning the stock rose after that sale—a poorly-timed outcome from a sell perspective. This latest sale follows 30-day and 90-day price declines of -3.2% and -0.6% respectively, placing the transaction in a period of weakness but offering no directional signal given his imprecise prior timing at FCN and modest magnitude of the reduction.

FCN CFO Sabherwal sold 5,236 shares at $164.60; stock now -28.0% from 52-week high of $231.00

Chief Financial Officer Ajay Sabherwal sold 5,236 shares of FTI Consulting (FCN) at $164.60 on 2025-05-01, reducing his holdings from 30,013 shares to 24,777 shares—a -17.4% reduction in position. At the transaction price of $164.60, the current price of $166.42 reflects modest recovery, yet the stock remains -28.0% below its 52-week high of $231.00, indicating material deterioration from elevated valuations. Sabherwal's cross-ticker track record shows 3 prior open-market sells with a 100.00% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark, and at FCN specifically, all 3 prior sells proved well-timed (showing -0.5%, -8.2%, and -7.5% 90-day returns after the sale dates). Against this backdrop of consistent sell-side timing precision, this transaction occurs in a quarter showing solid revenue of $898,282,000 and net income of $61,824,000, but within a company trading at a P/E of 21.78—valuations that warrant monitoring given the documented price decline and the insider's historical pattern of selling before subsequent weakness.

Paul Holly (CHRO) sells 4,078 FCN shares for $922,619.00; pattern mirrors 5 prior well-timed sells at this ticker.

Paul Holly, Chief Human Resources Officer, executed two separate sales on 2024-07-29 totaling 4,078 shares (4.1K shares) for $922,619.00 at an average of $226.24 per share, reducing holdings by 17.8% from 22,855 to 18,777 shares. His prior trading history at FCN is notably consistent: all 5 prior trades at this ticker occurred on 2023-11-02 and were well-timed, with 30-day returns of +2.0% to +4.4% and 90-day returns of -9.6% to -11.7% (100% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark). The current price of $223.48 sits just 3.3% below the 52-week high of $231.00, and the stock has gained +3.7% over 30 days and +5.2% over 90 days. This transaction occurs within a fundamentally healthy context: FCN generated $949.2M in quarterly revenue with $83.9M in net income and annual growth of +15.2%, supported by a market cap of $8.0B and a P/E of 24.40. The pattern of multiple sales at elevated price levels in a strong-performing stock warrants monitoring of post-transaction price action to confirm whether the timing aligns with the insider's prior well-timed pattern at this specific ticker.
