FTI CFO buys 2,000 shares

FTI Consulting’s new chief financial officer bought company stock within days of taking the job, according to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing. A Form 4 filed on May 5 shows Eun Angela Nam purchased 2,000 shares of FTI Consulting on May 1, the date her employment as CFO was set to begin. The filing adds to a cluster of insider purchases at the consulting firm in early May. The trades came after FTI shares had fallen toward the bottom of their 52-week range. ### How much stock did Eun Angela Nam buy? The May 5 SEC filing shows Nam bought 2,000 shares of FTI Consulting common stock on May 1 at a price of $144.17 per share. That puts the value of the purchase at about $288,340, based on the price disclosed in the filing. The same filing identifies Nam as a reporting person and names FTI Consulting, Inc. as the issuer. FTI’s investor relations site also lists the May 5 Form 4 among its recent SEC filings. ### Who is Nam, and when did she become CFO? FTI Consulting said on March 9 that its board elected Eun Angela Nam as chief financial officer and that she would commence employment on May 1. (sec.gov) The company said she would oversee finance and information technology functions and serve on the executive committee, based in New York City. The March 9 disclosure said Nam succeeded Paul Linton, who had been serving as interim chief financial officer and would continue as chief strategy and transformation officer. Before joining FTI, Nam had been chief financial officer and chief accounting officer at FTAI Aviation, according to the company’s announcement.

A second Form 4 listed on FTI Consulting’s investor relations site was filed on May 7, indicating another insider transaction in the same week. Separate market coverage based on those filings reported purchases by Chief Executive Steven Gunby and Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer Paul Linton alongside Nam’s trade. (fticonsulting.com) FilingExplorer reported that Gunby bought 10,000 shares at a weighted average price of $144.17 and that the three executives together bought about $2.1 million of stock. Reuters could not independently confirm the full details of the May 7 filing from the materials reviewed here, but FTI’s filing log shows that additional Form 4 was submitted on that date.

The same data showed the stock closing around $149 and touching as low as $142.55 in that session. FilingExplorer said the insider purchases were made with the shares trading within 3% of a 52-week low. (filingexplorer.com) That description is broadly consistent with the market range data available in mid-May. ### What had FTI just reported before the insider purchase? FTI Consulting reported first-quarter 2026 revenue of $983.3 million on April 30, up 9.5% from a year earlier, while net income fell to $57.6 million from $61.8 million. (marketbeat.com) The company said first-quarter diluted earnings per share were $1.90 and reaffirmed its full-year 2026 guidance. (filingexplorer.com) During the quarter ended March 31, FTI repurchased 787,098 shares at an average price of $161.11 for a total cost of $126.8 million, the company said in its earnings release. That buyback price was above the level disclosed in Nam’s May 1 purchase. (markets.businessinsider.com) ### What comes next for investors tracking the trade? FTI Consulting’s investor relations page lists its first-quarter 2026 presentation and recent SEC filings, which include the May 5 Form 4 and a May 7 Form 4.
