Track FDS free→FactSet grows revenue about 6% yearly to $2.46 billion in 2026. Organic subscription value rose $165 million, beating the $130M-$160M target. Profit margins stay near 34% despite some pressure. The company returns $629 million to shareholders in 2026.
Revenue growth may slow due to mixed guidance and analyst downgrades. Profit margins have declined from 36.8% to 34.0%. AI risks and market position concerns could hurt future results.
The price is about 6% below our fair value near $279, reflecting roughly 6% revenue growth. Our fair value is 13% above the Street median, which is more cautious. We see room for upside if growth and margins hold.
