FactSet Research: Strong Earnings Fail to Convince Skeptical Analyst
14.01.2026 - 20:41:04
A prominent analyst at Wells Fargo has reaffirmed a cautious stance on FactSet Research Systems Inc. (FDS), even after modestly raising the price target for the financial data provider’s shares. This adjustment follows a robust quarterly earnings report and a new capital return initiative, yet the bank’s outlook suggests the stock remains overvalued at current trading levels.
Wells Fargo increased its price objective for FactSet from $260 to $265 per share. However, the firm simultaneously confirmed its “Underweight” rating on the equity. This assessment indicates the analyst continues to see significant downside risk, as the stock has recently been trading well above this revised target.
