Market context

Why it moved

FDS shares declined amid broader market risk-off sentiment driven by escalating U.S.-Iran military tensions threatening oil supply disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz, while the company also faced lingering concerns after a mixed quarterly earnings report that showed a significant miss on EBITDA estimates despite a modest revenue beat.

What is happening

Recent company-specific developments and publisher coverage.

July 17, 2026FactSet Research Systems declined amid a broad tech-driven selloff, as semiconductor and AI-linked stocks extended losses for a second session on AI valuation concerns and a new Chinese AI model release. While BMO Capital raised its price target to $282 from $275 (maintaining Market Perform), the broader analyst consensus holds a Hold rating with a mean target of $271.47 — reflecting lingering concerns over competitive pressures from AI disruption in the financial data space, despite a recent Seeking Alpha piece arguing FDS remains undervalued at a 44% discount to fair value, buoyed by AI-enhanced product momentum and 95%+ client retention.

-1.8974

July 17, 2026FactSet Research Systems advanced sharply, recovering from a 4% drop the prior session, as investors responded to the company's Q3 fiscal 2026 earnings report and a high-profile AI partnership with Google Cloud. The quarter showed revenue of $622.92 million alongside softer net income, with management reaffirming full-year guidance — a signal of confidence despite elevated cloud and AI-related spending. The Google Cloud deal, which embeds Gemini-powered agents into FactSet's Workstation platform, is seen as a key catalyst for the company's long-term AI-driven growth story under new CEO Sanoke Viswanathan. A Seeking Alpha analysis highlighted FDS as still undervalued at a 44% discount to a fair value estimate of $445 per share, while the stock remains down roughly 43% over the past 12 months. In after-hours trading, shares gave back some of the day's gains, slipping about 1.6% to near $258, even as the broader financial sector held steady near 52-week highs.

4.4866

July 16, 2026FactSet Research Systems edged lower, giving back some of the prior session's 6.5% surge, as investors weighed its Q3 fiscal 2026 results — which showed higher revenue of $622.9M but softer net income — alongside a new AI partnership with Google Cloud and a completed $506M share buyback. Rothschild & Co Redburn raised its price target to $225 (from $215) while maintaining a Sell rating, while the broader analyst consensus sits at Hold with a mean target of $271. IBM's warnings about AI spending crowding out software budgets added sector-wide pressure on financial data and software names.

-0.5621

July 11, 2026FactSet Research Systems rebounded, gaining over 2%, partially recovering from a steep post-earnings selloff that saw the stock drop roughly 4% on July 8–9. The recovery comes as investors reassess the company's fiscal Q3 results — revenue of $622.9 million beat expectations, and new AI partnerships with Google Cloud and TIFIN.AI have drawn renewed attention to its growth narrative. One analyst (SimplyWallSt) pegs fair value at $313.99, implying significant upside, while analyst sentiment remains mixed with a median price target of $240 and Barclays carrying a below-market target of $216. After-hours, shares slipped modestly to around $245.

2.1538

July 9, 2026FactSet Research Systems declined after a wave of post-earnings analyst pressure, with firms including Goldman Sachs (Sell, $236 target), Wells Fargo (Underweight, $210), Barclays (Sell, $216), and Morgan Stanley (Equalweight, $230) maintaining cautious ratings following mixed fiscal Q3 2026 results that showed higher revenue but lower net income. The sell-off was compounded by broad macro headwinds—escalating U.S.-Iran tensions revived oil and inflation fears, weighing on equities—while FactSet's AI expansion push and increased spending drew scrutiny over margin sustainability.

-2.3888

July 9, 2026FactSet Research Systems fell roughly 4% as a broad market risk-off selloff — triggered by President Trump declaring the U.S.-Iran ceasefire 'over' and sending oil prices surging over 5% — weighed on financial data stocks. The decline came despite a largely constructive post-earnings backdrop: FactSet reported solid fiscal Q3 2026 results on July 1, with revenues up 6.4% to $622.9M, reaffirmed full-year guidance, and expanded its AI offerings via Google Cloud and TIFIN.AI partnerships, though GAAP margins contracted and analysts remain divided, with price targets ranging from bearish ($210, Wells Fargo) to bullish ($389, Autonomous Research).

-4.0573

July 8, 2026FactSet Research Systems rose on continued positive momentum following its fiscal Q3 2026 earnings report, which showed 6.4% revenue growth to $622.9 million and a 7.1% organic ASV gain, while reaffirming full-year guidance. Investor sentiment was further bolstered by Autonomous Research raising its price target to $389 and a broader AI capital allocation narrative — the company deepened partnerships with Google Cloud and TIFIN.AI — even as margin pressure from higher compensation and tech costs kept some analysts cautious, with Barclays and Goldman Sachs maintaining Sell ratings.

2.4187

July 3, 2026FactSet Research Systems rose nearly 2% after its fiscal Q3 2026 earnings report — released July 1 — beat estimates on both revenue ($622.9M vs. $618.3M expected) and adjusted EPS ($4.53 vs. $4.46), with organic ASV growth accelerating to 7.1% for a fifth consecutive quarter of upside. Investor enthusiasm was further fueled by AI momentum: ~90% of FactSet's top 50 clients now use four or more AI products, AI contributed over 10% to ASV growth, and MCP platform adoption surpassed 550 clients post-quarter. A strategic Google Cloud partnership to embed Gemini AI into FactSet Workstation and a new TIFIN.AI deal for wealth management workflows added to the bullish narrative. A wave of analyst price target increases followed earnings — with BMO, Evercore, Deutsche Bank, Jefferies, and others raising targets — though most firms maintained neutral ratings amid margin concerns, as adjusted EBITDA declined 6.7% due to higher compensation and technology costs. Management reaffirmed full-year guidance and indicated results are tracking toward the high end of both revenue and EPS ranges.
