Dividend stock investing has proved to be a superior investing strategy.

The FDS stock is benefiting from a growing client base, shareholder-friendly policies and a robust liquidity position.

Growth across the Americas, EMEA and the Asia Pacific drives FactSet's top line in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

I reiterate my strong buy rating for FactSet Research Systems (FDS) due to strong EPS growth, pipeline bookings, and AI-driven product traction. FDS reported 2Q25 revenue of $570.7 million, with a healthy EBIT margin of 37.3%, and increased FY25 revenue guidance to $2.305-$2.325 billion. FDS's AI strategy, particularly Pitch Creator, shows promising adoption, with >2,000 active trials and >50 pipeline opportunities, enhancing productivity for investment bankers.

FactSet's business model is robust, driven by recurring revenues and high client retention, making it a reliable investment even during market turmoil. Q2 FY2025 results showed modest growth in subscriptions, revenues, and EPS, but market reaction was negative, causing a 2% drop in stock price. FactSet's dividend is sustainable and growing, but its current yield is low, making it less attractive for dividend-focused investors.
