FactSet and Nasdaq Private Market Partner to Bring Greater Transparency to Private Markets Data
FactSet entered a partnership with Nasdaq Private Market to integrate verifiable Cap Table data into FactSet Workstation, expanding its private markets offering.
The data covers private company ownership structures and financing events such as funding rounds, secondary sales, and dilutive events, sourced from auditable documentation rather than modelled estimates.
No financial terms were disclosed; the deal modestly strengthens FactSet's data differentiation for due diligence, valuation, and deal-sourcing workflows.

FDS: 10-K · periodic report
FactSet's fiscal 2026 10-K shows revenue of $2,476.3 million, up 6.7%, with Organic ASV of $2,568.2 million growing 7.0%. However, GAAP net income fell 10.6% to $533.5 million and diluted EPS declined 6.3% to $14.57, as operating margin compressed from 32.2% to 28.3% on restructuring charges ($46.2 million), one-time CEO onboarding costs, and higher variable compensation. Adjusted diluted EPS rose 6.1% to $18.01.
The year was marked by sweeping leadership turnover — a new CEO (Sanoke Viswanathan), CFO, Chief People Officer, and CTO — and the company flagged execution risk from pursuing transformation initiatives concurrently. Headcount fell 2.8% to 12,444 on restructuring. The previously disclosed material weakness in IT general controls was remediated as of August 31, 2026.
FactSet returned $808.1 million to shareholders via $644.0 million in buybacks and $164.2 million in dividends, raised the quarterly dividend 5% to $1.16 (27th straight annual increase), and has $356.0 million left on its repurchase authorization. A class action over CUSIP Global Services licensing practices (Dinosaur Financial v. S&P Global et al.) remains unresolved after the court vacated initial class certification.

Stock Quotes Are Free Almost Everywhere Now. Investors Are Paying for What Comes After Them.
USA Newsroom published a market commentary arguing that free stock quotes have commoditized while the value now sits in context, research and execution layers.
FactSet is cited with fiscal Q4 2026 revenue of $634.7 million, up 6.3% year over year, organic ASV up 7.0% to $2,568.2 million, and FY2027 revenue guidance of $2,600-$2,625 million, with momentum in AI and data solutions.
The piece is promotional in nature: the publisher's parent also owns Quote Daddy, which is heavily featured, and FDS is only one of several companies recapped. No new issuer disclosure is contained here.

FactSet Reports Results for Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2026
FactSet reported Q4 FY26 GAAP revenues of $634.7 million, up 6.3% YoY, with organic revenues up 7.1% and organic ASV growing 7.0% to $2,568.2 million.
Adjusted diluted EPS rose 11.6% to $4.52, but GAAP diluted EPS fell 15.4% to $3.41 as GAAP operating margin compressed to 24.7% from 29.7%, driven by restructuring charges, ASV-linked incentive plans and CEO onboarding costs.
FY27 guidance calls for organic ASV growth of 5.0%-6.5%, implying deceleration from the 7.0% posted in fiscal 2026, with revenues of $2,600-$2,625 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $19.25-$19.65.
The company returned $808 million to shareholders in FY26, including $138 million of Q4 buybacks at an average price of $249.90, and marked its 27th consecutive year of dividend increases.

FDS: 8-K · debt financing
FactSet Research Systems entered into Amendment No. 1 on August 28, 2026, amending its credit agreement dated April 8, 2025, with PNC Bank, National Association continuing as administrative agent. The amendment was reported under Items 1.01 and 2.03 of an 8-K filed August 31, 2026.
The amendment extends the $375 million senior unsecured term loan's maturity to August 28, 2029, increases the revolving credit facility from $1.0 billion to $1.5 billion with maturity and commitment termination extended to August 28, 2031, removes the 0.10% credit spread adjustment on Daily Simple SONIA and Term SOFR borrowings, and eliminates term loan amortization.
For FactSet, the changes modestly lower borrowing costs, add roughly $500 million of incremental revolver capacity, and push out debt maturities, which is routine liability management that improves financial flexibility without new equity issuance or any change in strategy.
