Shares of business advisory firm FTI Consulting (NYSE:FCN) jumped 5.4% in the afternoon session after the company lowered its full-year earnings and revenue forecast, signaling a more challenging outlook ahead. The lowered forecast overshadowed second-quarter results that beat Wall Street estimates. FTI reported Q2 revenue of $943.7 million and adjusted EBITDA of $111.6 million, surpassing analysts' expectations. However, the company cut its full-year earnings per share (EPS) projection to a range of $7.24 to $7.84, down from a previous forecast of $7.44 to $8.24. The revenue outlook for the year was also trimmed. The mixed performance reflected varied results across its business units, as revenue growth in its Corporate Finance, Forensic and Litigation, and Strategic Communications segments was offset by declines in its Economic Consulting and Technology segments. Overall, the negative forward-looking statements appeared to weigh more heavily on investors than the quarterly beat.
