FactSet Research Systems stock (ISIN US3030751057) was trading at EUR 233.85 at Lang & Schwarz on September 29, 2026 at 5:06 p.m. CEST, down 1.02 percent versus the prior close of EUR 236.25. The latest corporate catalyst is a real-time market data acquisition announced on September 22, 2026.

BCC deal expands real-time data

FactSet said on September 22, 2026, that it acquired BCC Group International GmbH, a Germany-based software developer focused on cloud-native and hybrid market data distribution.

The transaction adds BCC Group's ONE Platform to FactSet's Real-Time Solution Suite, with cloud, on-premises and hybrid deployment options. That combination gives the company a concrete product expansion in market data infrastructure rather than a change to its core research and analytics offering.

Revenue growth meets margin pressure

In fiscal Q3 2026, FactSet generated USD 622.90 million in revenue, up 6.40 percent from the year-earlier quarter, according to Stock Titan. Adjusted diluted EPS rose 6.10 percent to USD 4.53, while GAAP diluted EPS fell 9.60 percent to USD 3.50.

FactSet reaffirmed fiscal 2026 GAAP revenue guidance of USD 2.45 billion to USD 2.47 billion and adjusted diluted EPS guidance of USD 17.25 to USD 17.75. The split between adjusted earnings growth and lower GAAP EPS makes cost control a more important measure of the acquisition's eventual value.

Jefferies raises target to USD 285

MarketScreener reported on September 22, 2026, that Jefferies raised its FactSet price target from USD 253.00 to USD 285.00 while maintaining a Hold rating. The revised target sits 7.61 percent above the NYSE price of USD 264.87 at 11:13 a.m. EDT on September 29, 2026.

Stock remains below yearly high

FactSet's primary listing is on the NYSE, where the stock's USD 185.00 to USD 320.48 52-week range puts the latest USD 264.87 quote 17.35 percent below the yearly high. The separate euro quotation at Lang & Schwarz remains the relevant German investor reference.
