1. What’s moving the stock today
FactSet (FDS) is down after the market digests its most recent quarterly results through a profitability lens, with investors emphasizing margin compression rather than the company’s growth metrics. In its fiscal second quarter (ended February 28, 2026), FactSet reported revenue growth and accelerating organic ASV, but also a notable year-over-year decline in GAAP and adjusted operating margins—fueling concerns that investment spending and cost inflation are limiting near-term operating leverage.
