On May 12, 2026, FactSet announced a partnership with Valutico to modernize valuation workflows for private capital markets, anchoring the integration within FactSet's Cobalt platform — its centralized system for portfolio data, performance, and investor reporting.

On May 12, 2026, FactSet announced an integrated workflow with Valutico anchored within its Cobalt platform, enabling more frequent, transparent, and scalable valuations for private capital markets. On May 5, the Board raised the quarterly cash dividend to $1.16 per share from $1.10, marking the 27th consecutive year of dividend increases, payable June 18 to holders of record May 29. The Valutico partnership extends FactSet's system-of-record positioning into the valuation lifecycle, a strategic push into private markets workflow. Recent Q2 FY2026 results showed EPS of $4.46 beating estimates of $4.37 and revenue of $611M, up 7.1% YoY. Analyst consensus remains Hold with 10 analysts covering. Risk: continued slow organic growth and competitive pressure from Bloomberg and S&P Global could limit multiple expansion.
