AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · FactSet (FDS)

FactSet Q1 revenue rises 6.9% to $607.6 million; buyback authorization raised to $1 billion

Positive Impact 4 of 5 earnings Written later

FactSet reported results for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, ended November 30, 2025, with GAAP revenue up 6.9% and GAAP diluted EPS up 4.4% from a year earlier. The company reaffirmed its fiscal 2026 outlook and its board raised the share repurchase authorization from $400 million to $1 billion, which matters to shareholders because it expands the capital available for buybacks while margins declined year over year.

Key points

  • GAAP diluted EPS was $4.06 versus $3.89; adjusted diluted EPS was $4.51, up 3.2%.
  • GAAP operating margin fell to 31.6% from 33.6%, and adjusted operating margin fell to 36.2% from 37.6%.

Written later: this filing was briefed after the fact, when past filings were added to the site, so the brief may be read with hindsight; the filing itself is the record of what was known on December 18, 2025.
