FACTSET RESEARCH SYSTEMS INC (FDS) Form 10-K — Oct 20, 2026
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.
