FactSet Research Systems stock (ISIN US3030751057) closed at USD 273.15 on the NYSE on September 25, 2026, gaining 0.70 percent during the session. The next trading catalyst is the fiscal fourth-quarter report scheduled for September 30, 2026.

September 30 brings the earnings test

According to FactSet on September 2, 2026, the company will release results for the quarter ended August 31, 2026, before the market opens on September 30. The conference call is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. ET, giving investors a fixed checkpoint for revenue, earnings and fiscal 2027 commentary.

Consensus calls for earnings of USD 4.35 per share and revenue of USD 629.79 million. The estimates compare with USD 4.05 EPS and USD 596.90 million revenue in the year-ago quarter, according to ScanX on September 22, 2026. That implies a USD 33.25 million increase in expected quarterly revenue, or 5.57 percent, while the EPS comparison points to a USD 0.30 improvement.

Targets rise while ratings stay cautious

The analyst picture is more constructive on valuation than on the rating itself. Yahoo Finance reported on September 22, 2026, that Jefferies raised its price target from USD 253 to USD 285 while maintaining a Hold rating. The new target stands 4.34 percent above the September 25 closing price.

MarketScreener also lists Deutsche Bank's September 11, 2026 move from USD 280 to USD 299, with the bank retaining Hold. The split between higher targets and unchanged cautious ratings makes the September 30 outlook especially important for the stock's next valuation debate.

Stock remains below its yearly high

FactSet Research Systems has a 52-week range of USD 185.00 to USD 320.48 as of September 25, 2026. Its USD 9.7 billion market capitalization on the same date places the shares 14.77 percent below the yearly high, leaving the earnings release as the next concrete test of whether the expected revenue expansion can support a recovery toward that level.
