FactSet Research Systems Inc. and Barclays announced a multiyear strategic agreement to integrate FactSet’s advanced analytics and data platform into Barclays’ client solutions, effective from the announcement date.
The deal grants Barclays access to FactSet’s comprehensive suite of data, analytics, and enabling solutions, and includes Barclays’ participation on FactSet’s Client Advisory Board. This positions FactSet as a key technology partner for Barclays’ global market‑data strategy.
While the financial terms of the agreement are undisclosed, the partnership is expected to generate recurring revenue for FactSet and deepen its footprint in the banking sector. FactSet’s Q1 2026 earnings showed revenue growth of 6.9% year‑over‑year to $608 million, indicating healthy demand for its platform.
The collaboration aligns with Barclays’ focus on AI and data‑driven services. Barclays plans to use FactSet’s platform to enhance transparency and efficiency for its clients, potentially creating new revenue streams through cross‑selling analytics tools.
Analysts view the partnership as a strategic win for FactSet, strengthening its competitive moat against Bloomberg, Refinitiv, and S&P Capital IQ. The deal also supports Barclays’ broader data hub strategy, reinforcing its position as a UK‑centered global bank.
The announcement was welcomed by investors, reflecting confidence in FactSet’s ability to secure high‑profile collaborations and expand its market share.
