FactSet Research Systems Inc. dividend reflects a business built on financial intelligence: integrated data, analytics, and workflow software serving portfolio managers, asset managers, and investment banks worldwide. The current yield is 1.46%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $4.52 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is August 31, 2026. FDS stock carries a beta of 0.687, which points to below-market price swings, a characteristic that suits investors who prioritize dividend growth over immediate income.
FactSet Research Systems Inc. pays out 0.8% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That figure leaves an extraordinary amount of room for the dividend to persist and grow, supported by a business model centered on delivering essential data and analytical software to financial professionals who depend on it daily. The primary factor that could pressure FactSet Research Systems Inc. dividend safety is a broad contraction in financial services spending, which would directly affect the investment community FDS serves.
FactSet Research Systems Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 10.7% per year from 2011 to 2025. The per-share dividend grew from $1.04 to $4.34 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from this calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 5.9% in 2025, which is the floor investors have seen in recent years.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +7.5% | $3.49 (2022) | $4.34 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +7.5% | $3.03 (2020) | $4.34 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +9.8% | $1.71 (2015) | $4.34 (2025) |
FDS stock fits growth-and-income investors who want a rising dividend from a financial data business, not a high current payout. The yield is low (below 2%) at 1.46%, though that sits above the 5-year average of 1.23%, meaning the current entry point offers slightly more income than the historical norm. The 10.7% annual dividend growth rate over 14 years is the real draw here. What an investor accepts is a yield that will not fund near-term income needs. What they get is a dividend that has increased for 20 consecutive years, backed by a payout ratio so conservative it creates almost no near-term pressure on future increases.
