Upslope Capital Management stated the following regarding FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE:FCN) in its second quarter 2025 investor letter:

“FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE:FCN) and Evercore (EVR) – New Longs: Upslope has owned FTI Consulting (leader in restructuring and dispute advisory) and Evercore (top independent M&A advisor) in the past. The Fund recently re-initiated positions in each of these companies. While they are bets on polar opposite outcomes (Evercore is very pro-cyclical, while FTI is the most counter cyclical publicly traded company I follow), expectations for each appear modest. This was and remains especially true of FTI – although it’s more understandable as the company is going through some turmoil (employee turnover/retention challenges) in one of its non-core segments. Nonetheless, the unique macro environment – on/off trade war, the very pro-cyclical “One Big Beautiful Bill,” lingering inflation, massive regulatory and technological (e.g. AI) uncertainty and change – should ultimately provide significant opportunities for both businesses ahead.”
