FTI Consulting Adds $370 Million to Share Buyback Program
Summary
FTI Consulting's board authorized an additional $370 million for its share repurchase program, bringing the total available to $507.4 million. This significant capital allocation, representing nearly 8% of the company's market cap, follows an 8-K filed earlier today. It signals strong management confidence, particularly after recent mixed Q1 results and an increase in long-term debt from a new $300 million term loan in March. The move could provide substantial support for the stock price.
