In the
financial data sector,
FactSet Research Systems (FDS) has been drawing attention. Despite
technical undervaluation, many believe FDS to be a strategic value play. The stock's performance seems mixed, with Q2 & Q3 2025 earnings meeting expectations, but earnings per share (EPS) for Q3 2025 were down compared to 2024.
Long-term growth remains on track, and analysts have recommended it as a
strong buy. FactSet's
ASV growth, client growth and strategic investments are other strong points despite increased expenses. However, news of the outgoing CEO's retirement plan exerted pressure on the stock. In terms of
leadership changes, Kevin Toomey has been named Head of Investor Relations and JPMorgan Wealth Chief Sanoke Viswanathan has been appointed as the new CEO, with focus on AI and tech innovation. The company has also firmed a major investment in
BondCliQ to enhance corporate bond pricing accuracy. Caution must be taken due to the
volatility prevalent in the macroenvironment influencing the recurring revenue model.
