Updated

  • Sanoke Viswanathan said FactSet did not pull demand into FY2026 and that renewal cycles and enterprise agreements can make FY2027 growth uneven by quarter.
  • Josh Warren said performance-based compensation is expensed before associated ASV revenue is recognized, which FactSet said affected Q4 adjusted operating margin.
