Dividend Power Score
A single, comprehensive score designed to measure the true strength of a company’s dividend.
This score combines three essential pillars of dividend quality:
Consistency – Measures how reliable the dividend has been over time, focusing on payment history, stability, and the absence of cuts or suspensions.
Payability – Assesses the company’s financial ability to sustain its dividend, taking into account cash flow, earnings coverage, balance sheet strength, and overall financial health.
Growth – Evaluates the long-term growth of both the dividend and the company’s share price, highlighting businesses that consistently increase payouts while creating shareholder value.
Higher scores identify companies that have historically delivered dependable income alongside sustained dividend growth and long-term capital appreciation.
Company Overview
FTI Consulting, Inc. is a global business advisory and consulting firm that provides expert-driven services to corporations, financial institutions, law firms, private equity sponsors, and government entities. The company operates across the professional services and management consulting industries, with a focus on addressing complex financial, operational, regulatory, and reputational challenges. Its primary revenue drivers are consulting engagements related to restructuring, litigation, economic analysis, technology-enabled investigations, and strategic communications.
Founded in 1982 as Forensic Technologies International, the firm initially specialized in forensic accounting and litigation support before expanding organically and through acquisitions into a diversified advisory platform. Over time, FTI Consulting evolved into a multidisciplinary consultancy with integrated financial, economic, technological, and communications expertise, positioning itself as a provider of high-stakes advisory services during periods of crisis, transformation, and regulatory scrutiny.
Business Operations
FTI Consulting generates revenue through five reportable operating segments: Corporate Finance & Restructuring, Forensic and Litigation Consulting, Economic Consulting, Technology, and Strategic Communications. These segments deliver advisory services on matters such as bankruptcy and restructuring, forensic accounting and investigations, antitrust and competition economics, e-discovery and data analytics, cybersecurity, and corporate reputation management. Engagements are typically project-based and billed on a time-and-materials or fixed-fee basis.
The company operates across both domestic and international markets, serving clients in regulated and unregulated industries including financial services, energy, healthcare, technology, and government. FTI Consulting controls proprietary methodologies, analytics tools, and technology platforms within its Technology segment, and it operates through numerous wholly owned subsidiaries that support local market delivery and regulatory compliance.
Strategic Position & Investments
FTI Consulting’s strategy emphasizes organic growth, selective acquisitions, and continued investment in talent, data analytics, and technology-enabled advisory services. The firm has historically pursued acquisitions that deepen expertise within its core segments, particularly in restructuring, economic consulting, and strategic communications, while maintaining a capital-light business model focused on intellectual capital rather than hard assets.
The company continues to invest in emerging areas such as cybersecurity, data privacy, artificial intelligence–enabled analytics, and global regulatory compliance, integrating these capabilities into its advisory offerings. Its multidisciplinary structure allows cross-segment collaboration, which management views as a strategic advantage in complex, multi-jurisdictional client engagements.
