Today’s drivers and calendar
Today, September 17, 2026, FactSet Research does not have a major company-specific event due before the bell, but the next scheduled catalyst is the company’s fourth quarter 2026 earnings report, expected on September 30, 2026 before the market open according to the earnings calendar at eToro. Broader market conditions remain in focus after the Federal Reserve unanimously raised interest rates at its latest meeting, an action that weighed on major indices in the previous session as discussed in coverage from Bloomberg. Interest-rate expectations and sector rotation could therefore influence sentiment toward data and analytics providers like FactSet heading into today’s US session.
