FDS

Factset Research Systems Inc.

A financial data and analytics platform that delivers market data, research tools, and AI-powered technology to investment professionals around the world, serving buy-side investors, dealmakers, and wealth managers through subscriptions. It traces to 1978, when two colleagues at a Wall Street firm began delivering computer-based financial information directly to investors. The name comes from the "fact set," a four-page report one founder invented that packed a company's key numbers onto a single page.
