The main question: the share price moved +24.7% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved −6.3%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple. ## What is the FactSet Research Systems share price today? FactSet Research Systems Inc.'s share price was $332.59 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been stalling near its high for 17 weeks. That is 32.6% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $195 and $333, and at that close it was at the high of that range. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 18 weeks in a row. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +107% while the S&P 500 moved +255%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does FactSet Research Systems pay? FactSet Research Systems Inc. paid $4.46 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $1.16 for May 2026. At today's price of $332.59 that is a yield of 1.34%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is FactSet Research Systems on? FactSet Research Systems is on one of our US lists: S&P 500 companies. [S&P 500 companies](https://www.sectoralpha.in/sp-500-stocks)

## Is FactSet Research Systems profitable? FactSet Research Systems Inc. earned $121 M of net profit in the Aug 2026 quarter, −21.1% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY26 profit was $533 M. Over 5 years profit has grown 5.9% a year on average. That is 19.1% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $154 M. For the full year, FY26 profit was $533 M (−10.6% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +6.3% on a year earlier and the margin moved −6.6 percentage points. Sales did the work while the margin got thinner. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −10.6% and revenue +6.7%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth. ## How much revenue does FactSet Research Systems make, and is it growing? FactSet Research Systems Inc. reported $635 M of income in the Aug 2026 quarter, +6.3% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 5 years it has grown 9.2% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at $2.5 B. The last four reported quarters add to $2.5 B. FY26 revenue was $2.5 B, +6.7% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +6.7% on average, against 9.2% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +6.7%, against +6.0% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew −10.6%, against −0.3% a year (rolling over). ## How much does FactSet Research Systems keep from what it earns? FactSet Research Systems Inc.'s net margin was 19.1% in the Aug 2026 quarter, 6.6 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 6 years it has been between 21.5% and 25.7%. The latest quarter is below every full year in that period. Why: the net margin move is clear, but the cost details behind it are not in our data, so we show the move without guessing the reason. ## How many of FactSet Research Systems' loans have gone bad? FactSet Research Systems Inc. does not report loan-quality figures this page can read, so this section says so rather than guess. No bad-loan figures are filed in a form this page can read, and none are guessed from the profit line. The income, margin and return sections carry what this business does report. Why: loan quality drives a lender, but its details (new bad loans, recoveries, money set aside) are not in our data for this company. The sections around this one carry what we can back up. ## How fast is FactSet Research Systems' loan book growing? FactSet Research Systems Inc.'s revenue was $2.5 B in FY26, +6.7% on the year before, so the loan book is growing. The latest quarter was +6.3% on a year earlier. The net margin on that income is 19.1%, −6.6 percentage points on a year ago. Interest income stands in for the size of the loan book; changes in interest rates can move it a few points in any year. In short: a lender grows well when its loan book grows, its margin stays steady and its loans stay clean. Quarterly loan-quality figures are missing here, so revenue growth and margin are the two we watch. ## What is FactSet Research Systems' P/BV ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? FactSet Research Systems Inc.'s P/BV is 5.9×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 21% of the time. Its usual P/BV (the middle reading) is 9.3×, over 5.2 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year book value grew while the price moved +24.7%. Price and book value moved together, so the multiple stayed in its range. Where the price move came from: over 5 years the price moved −5.7% a year; about +16.4% a year came from book-value growth and about −22.1 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less). The split is approximate (price return minus book-value growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is low against its own past, so the book value trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the FactSet Research Systems business getting better or worse? FactSet Research Systems Inc.'s business is slowing from a peak. Profit and EPS growth have slowed sharply (profit growth from +12.6% at its peak to −10.6% now), while ROE is still 26.6%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: slowing from a peak is where good stories often end quietly. ## How much does FactSet Research Systems earn on its equity and assets? FactSet Research Systems Inc. earned a return on equity of 27% in FY26. That is its lowest yearly reading on file. On its assets, every $100 earned about $10.65, before the effect of borrowing. For a lender the balance sheet is the business, so the return on equity and on assets have to be read together. That is above the level a bank needs to grow its net worth steadily. Why: the ROE chart shows the move, but the deposit-cost and bad-loan details behind it are not in our data. ## Does FactSet Research Systems have too much debt? For a bank, borrowing is the raw material of the business, not a warning sign: it borrows money in order to lend it out. Its safety is read through its returns and its loans. Its safety is read from the bad-loan figures and the return on equity instead. For a manufacturer, debt is a claim on its profits. For a lender it is the stock it trades in, so the usual debt-to-equity test would mislead and is not used here. ## What is the FactSet Research Systems shareholding pattern? 10.8% of FactSet Research Systems Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so a large group of traders is betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 4.9 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is FactSet Research Systems from balance-sheet trouble? For FactSet Research Systems Inc., the Z-score is not used, because it was built for manufacturers, not lenders. For a lender, safety is read from its capital and bad-loan figures instead. ## How does FactSet Research Systems rank in its industry? 53.5 out of 100, rank 9 of 14 in Financial Data & Stock Exchanges, with 80% of the evidence available. FactSet Research Systems Inc. scores 53.5 out of 100 against the 14 companies it is compared with in Financial Data & Stock Exchanges, ranking 9. Relative strength against the index is 22.6%, and revenue and profit growth are weak. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 9.7 + 18.1 + 6 + 19.7 = 53.5. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if ROA turns down or gross NPA rises while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is FactSet Research Systems compared with? FactSet Research Systems ranks 9 of 14 Financial Data & Stock Exchanges companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 53.5 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. Financial companies use P/BV÷ROE and asset quality; PEG, industrial OPM and ROCE are excluded. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
