The company has an impressive earnings surprise history. It surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all of the last four quarters, delivering an average earnings beat of 10.9%.
Expectations This Time Around
The consensus estimate for FactSet’s revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $492.1 million, indicating 19.5% growth from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The top line is expected to have been driven by higher sales of analytics, and research and advisory solutions and the recent acquisition of CUSIP Global Services.
The bottom line is expected to have been positively impacted by higher revenues and margin expansion, the consensus mark for which stands at $3.25 per share, suggesting 12.9% year-over-year growth.
What Our Model Says
Our proven Zacks model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for FactSet this season. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold), increases the odds of an earnings beat. But that’s not the case here. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
FactSet has an Earnings ESP of -0.22% and carries a Zacks Rank #2.
