Factset Research Systems Inc
FactSet Research Systems sells financial data, research tools, and software that investment professionals use to analyze companies, markets, and portfolios. Its platform pulls together market prices, company financial statements, estimates, news, and analytics in one place so analysts, portfolio managers, bankers, and other finance teams can work faster and make comparisons more easily. The company makes money mainly by charging subscription fees for access to its data feeds, terminals, workflow tools, and custom analytics services. Its customers are mostly asset managers, hedge funds, investment banks, wealth managers, and corporate finance teams that need reliable, organized market information every day. FactSet sits in a middle layer of the financial information chain: it does not trade securities or manage money, but it supplies the data and tools that professionals use to do that work. That role gives it a sticky business model, because once a firm builds FactSet into its research and portfolio workflows, the service becomes part of its daily routine.

ASV growth: FactSet said organic ASV growth accelerated for a fifth straight quarter to 7.1%, helped by broad-based demand across regions and client types and stronger client expansion.
Margins: Adjusted operating margin came in at 34%, down about 300 basis points year over year as FactSet stepped up investment, paid performance incentives tied to ASV strength, and absorbed higher technology and token costs.
AI momentum: Management said AI is already contributing to growth, with over 10% of ASV growth in the quarter coming directly from AI SKUs and over 90% of top 50 clients using four or more FactSet AI solutions.
Guidance: The company reaffirmed its prior guidance for ASV, revenue, operating margin and EPS, and said revenue and EPS are tracking toward the high end of the range.
Product shift: FactSet is pushing clients from seat-based contracts toward longer enterprise agreements with more flexible consumption terms, while keeping minimum commitments and pricing discipline.
Cash returns: Free cash flow rose to $254 million, and FactSet returned over $625 million to shareholders year to date through buybacks and dividends.
