FDS Stock Forecast & Price Target
FDS Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
FactSet Research Systems demonstrates a positive financial outlook, driven by significant growth in Annual Subscription Value (ASV), which increased by $30.7 million in the Americas due to strategic pricing initiatives and enhanced analytics offerings. The company has successfully capitalized on strong capital markets activity, with analytics emerging as the largest ASV contributor, particularly through front-office solutions and APIs, which have strengthened its competitive position. Additionally, future ASV growth is anticipated in the second half of 2025, supported by competitive wins, recovery in capital markets, and a resumption of hiring in investment banking.
Bears say
FactSet Research Systems faces a negative outlook primarily due to anticipated revenue growth slowdown and margin contraction projected for fiscal year 2025, with guidance indicating an adjusted margin of 36-37%. The company's expectations of modestly decreased pricing contributions from new deals reflect potential challenges in maintaining subscription value, compounded by macroeconomic headwinds that could hinder demand across its client base. Additionally, concerns regarding weaker banking hiring and reduced IT spending from financial institutions are likely to further constrain annual subscription value growth, making it challenging for FactSet to achieve its earnings estimates.
