Factset Research Systems Inc: what insiders have been doing
Factset Research Systems Inc, founded in 1978, is a Business Services company based in Norwalk, United States. Its directors and officers file their transactions with SEC (Form 4). Between 18 October 2025 and 18 October 2026, 19 insiders published 26 filings.
Every open-market trade in the period is a purchase: 1 purchase worth €110k, from 1 insider, and not a single sale. Unlike grants, an open-market purchase is paid for by the insider, at the market price. Among those who bought: 1 senior executive. The largest single trade was a purchase of €110k by Skoko Goran, published on 10 November 2025.
Across the 5,811 companies tracked on its exchange, the median is 19 filings; at 26 filings, this issuer sits above that mark. The full history, which starts in 2016, counts 3 purchases against 24 sales. In its latest annual report filed with the SEC (10-K, fiscal year ended 31 August 2025), the company reported revenue of 2.32 bn USD and net income of 597.0 m USD.
The latest purchase dates back some time: it was published 342 days ago, on 10 November 2025. Typically, a trade is published a median of 2 days after it takes place. The legal deadline for a Form 4 is two business days after the transaction.

In competitive terms, FactSet operates in a concentrated market alongside major financial data and analytics providers such as Bloomberg, LSEG/Refinitiv, S&P Global, and selected niche specialists. Its historical strengths are data quality, workflow integration, customization, and high client stickiness. FactSet serves clients globally and reports operations across the Americas, EMEA, and Asia Pacific, giving it a diversified international footprint while remaining firmly headquartered in the United States.
Recent developments point to an increasingly AI-driven product strategy. In 2025 and 2026, FactSet announced multiple artificial intelligence initiatives, including AI-enabled document search, AI-native banking workflow tools, and AI-powered solutions for private capital. The company also highlighted new and expanded partnerships around fixed-income data, trading, and workflow integration, underscoring its effort to deepen product adoption and protect its platform position. FactSet has also reported continued growth in annual subscription value and retention above 95%, which supports the view that it has a resilient, subscription-based revenue base. For equity investors, the key questions remain execution on AI monetization, competitive differentiation, and the company’s ability to keep expanding within large institutional workflows.
