FactSet Reports Record Organic Subscription Growth and Strong Earnings for Q4 2026
FactSet (FDS) reported strong financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026, including a record quarterly increase in organic Annual Subscription Value (ASV), reaching $86 million. The company achieved full-year ASV growth of 7%, exceeding guidance and driven by robust demand across sectors like institutional buy-side and wealth management. Adjusted diluted earnings per share rose to $4.52 for the quarter, a 11.6% increase year-over-year. The firm also highlighted structural investments impacting its adjusted operating margin, which declined slightly in fiscal 2026 but is expected to improve modestly in 2027. FactSet returned over $800 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases during the year, a significant increase from prior periods. Management provided guidance for continued growth in ASV and revenue while acknowledging potential headwinds related to higher taxes and interest expenses.
