One-Month Return: -5.7%
Founded in 1978 when financial data was still primarily delivered through paper reports, FactSet (NYSE:FDS) provides financial data, analytics, and technology solutions that investment professionals use to research, analyze, and manage their portfolios.

Earnings per share decreased by more than its revenue over the last five years, showing each sale was less profitable
Policy losses and capital returns have eroded its book value per share this cycle as its book value per share declined by 7.3% annually over the last five years

Why Does BR Stand Out?
Offerings and unique value proposition resonate with customers, as seen in its above-market 8.9% annual sales growth over the last five years
Free cash flow margin increased by 8.6 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more capital to invest or return to shareholders
Rising returns on capital show the company is starting to reap the benefits of its past investments
