FCN
A pretty loud vote of confidence
Fiduciary Management just scooped up 823,713 shares of FTI Consulting last quarter, and the estimated bill came out to about $140.52 million. That’s not exactly couch-cushion money — it’s the kind of trade that says, “We like this name a lot.”
Why you should care
When a fund puts real capital behind a stock, it can be a signal that the business has something going for it: sticky demand, better margins, or maybe a valuation that looks a little less spicy than the rest of the market.
For FTI Consulting, the headline here isn’t an earnings beat or a new deal. It’s that a serious investor decided the stock deserved a bigger seat at the table.
The big picture
Institutional buying doesn’t guarantee the stock goes higher — funds can be early, late, or just plain wrong like the rest of us. But it does tell you where smart money is placing bets.
Big picture: in a market that loves drama, sometimes the quietest signals are the ones worth watching.
