Fiscal guidance sets the frame
The target revision follows FactSet's fiscal 2026 results and its fiscal 2027 outlook. Zacks reported that fiscal fourth-quarter adjusted earnings per share rose 11.60 percent year over year to USD 4.52, while revenue increased 6.30 percent to USD 634.70 million. Fiscal 2026 revenue reached USD 2.48 billion, up 6.70 percent from fiscal 2025.
The forward range is narrower than the historical growth headline. FactSet guides fiscal 2027 revenue to USD 2.60 billion to USD 2.63 billion and adjusted earnings per share to USD 19.25 to USD 19.65. Its adjusted operating margin is projected at 34.75 percent to 35.25 percent, compared with 34.50 percent in fiscal 2026.
Stock remains below its yearly high
FactSet's NYSE quote was USD 331.32 at the October 23, 2026 close, down 1.23 percent on the session. The same market data put the 52-week range at USD 185.00 to USD 339.83, leaving the stock 2.50 percent below its yearly high. Trading volume was 542,680 shares.
FactSet had a market capitalization of USD 11.8 billion as of October 23, 2026. Its price-to-earnings ratio was 22.74, while the trailing dividend yield was 0.01 percent. BMO's USD 314.00 target sits 5.23 percent below the NYSE price of USD 331.32.
