Revenue growth reached 6.70 percent
FactSet reported fiscal 2026 revenue of USD 2.48 billion, up 6.70 percent from USD 2.32 billion a year earlier. The fourth quarter contributed USD 634.70 million, an increase of 6.30 percent from USD 596.90 million in the comparable period, according to Yahoo Finance.
The earnings mix was less uniform. Fiscal 2026 GAAP diluted earnings per share fell 6.30 percent to USD 14.57 from USD 15.55, while adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 6.10 percent to USD 18.01 from USD 16.98. FactSet attributed pressure on the GAAP result to higher operating expenses, including non-recurring items.
