FactSet Research Systems Reports Q3 Results; Board Updates Bylaws

What Happened

• FactSet Research Systems Inc. (FDS) filed an 8-K on September 30, 2026, furnishing a press release (Exhibit 99.1) that announces the company's results for the three and twelve months ended August 31, 2026. The press release contains the detailed quarterly and full‑year operating and financial results.
• On September 24, 2026, FactSet’s Board of Directors approved and adopted amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated By‑laws (filed as Exhibit 3.1), effective that same day.

Key Details

• Item 2.02: Press release announcing results for the three and twelve months ended August 31, 2026 (Exhibit 99.1).
• Item 5.03: By‑laws amended to allow the Board to delegate all Board powers to committees as permitted under Delaware law; updated advance‑notice requirements for shareholder nominations and other meeting business; and made conforming/clarifying revisions (effective Sep 24, 2026).
• The 8‑K was signed by Joshua Warren, Executive VP and Chief Financial Officer, on September 30, 2026.
• Exhibits attached: 3.1 (Amended and Restated By‑laws) and 99.1 (earnings press release).

Why It Matters

• The press release is the company’s primary disclosure of its latest quarterly and trailing‑12‑month financial performance; investors should review the Exhibit 99.1 release for revenue, earnings, and guidance details that could affect the stock.
• The by‑law changes affect corporate governance (committee authority and shareholder nomination procedures). These are procedural rather than financial changes, but they may influence how the Board delegates decision‑making and how shareholders bring nominations or proposals to meetings.
• No executive departures, mergers, or other material corporate transactions were reported in this filing — the key takeaways are the earnings disclosure and the governance updates.
