Q4 revenue reached USD 634.70 million
FactSet reported fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 GAAP revenue of USD 634.70 million on September 30, 2026, an increase of 6.30 percent from the prior-year period, according to StockTitan. Organic annual subscription value reached USD 2.568 billion as of August 31, 2026, up 7.00 percent year over year.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share rose 11.60 percent to USD 4.52 in the quarter, while GAAP diluted earnings per share fell 15.40 percent to USD 3.41. The contrast matters because recurring subscription growth is advancing while reported profitability is absorbing higher compensation and restructuring costs.
Fiscal 2027 guidance slows ASV growth
FactSet expects fiscal 2027 revenue of USD 2.600 billion to USD 2.625 billion and organic annual subscription value growth of 5.00 percent to 6.50 percent, compared with 7.00 percent in fiscal 2026. The same outlook gives a GAAP operating margin range of 31.00 percent to 32.00 percent, versus 28.30 percent in fiscal 2026.
That guidance frames the analyst response: Stifel cited improving fundamentals, rising win rates and a faster innovation pace when lifting its target, while the lower ASV growth range keeps execution central to the valuation debate.
