# Weekly Recap | Factset Research +9.29%, outperforming the S&P by over nine points

## The Week

Factset Research (FDS) gained 9.29% this week to $283.83, while the S&P 500 slipped 0.08%, leaving the stock outperforming by about 9.37 percentage points. The shares opened strongly on Monday and hit $284.89 on Tuesday, then spent three sessions in a choppy range before Friday’s climb to a weekly high of $286.68. The weekly range was 6.3%, and average daily volume ran only about 4% above its median, so turnover was not unusually heavy. There was no major company-specific catalyst, leaving the move tied mostly to broader flows.

## Analyst Ratings

Among 18 institutions covering the stock, 3 rate it buy, 9 rate it hold, 2 rate it under, and 4 rate it sell, with the consensus rating at hold. The consensus target price is $266.75, roughly 6.0% below the current level. Targets range from $210 to $340, a spread of about $130 that points to wide disagreement among brokers. The stock ranks 5th among 26 companies in the financial exchanges and data industry.

## The Week Ahead

Next week brings several macro readings: the Richmond Fed composite index on 22 September, EIA crude inventories on 23 September, and jobless claims plus new home sales on 24 September. Factset itself will not report fiscal Q4 2026 results until 30 September, with estimates at $3.911 in EPS and $630m in revenue. Whether the macro data shift rate expectations could matter for the stock’s high-valuation profile.
