FTI Consulting reported Q4 revenues of $990.7 million, up 10.7% year-on-year and exceeding analyst expectations by 7.9%.

The company also surpassed EPS estimates. Shares rose 7.4% following the results and currently trade at $171.89.

1 in 4 executives hit by cyberattack during M&A, 42% see deal value drop

FTI Consulting's latest study reveals that nearly one in four executives has experienced a cyber incident during or shortly after a corporate transaction, with 42% reporting significant deal value reduction. The research, part of the "CISO Redefined" series, surveyed 100 CISOs, 78 heads of M&A and 100 general counsel across US-based organisations. Despite 67% of M&A heads and 76% of general counsel viewing CISOs as critical during transactions, 34% of CISOs report limited involvement in decision-making. One in three CISOs lack authority or are unsure whether they can halt deals due to cybersecurity risks. The study found that 58% of respondents experienced impaired financial targets following cyber incidents, whilst 20% saw deals delayed or paused. Only 23% of executives manage cybersecurity risks proactively post-close.
