"Dividend Aristocrats are some of the best stocks to buy when they go on sale, as they're backed by companies on a solid footing. These companies have raised the dividends on their businesses each year for over a quarter of a century and are continuously cranking out cash for their shareholders. This characteristic lets them snowball their dividends over long periods of time, and it'd be a mistake not to buy the dip when a quality Dividend Aristocrat has a hiccup."
"FactSet Research (FDS) has been a Wall Street mainstay, so much so that you've probably heard of it dozens of times if you like to read quarterly reports posted by third-party publishers. What FactSet does is it provides financial information and analytics for hundreds of thousands of investors. Without it, many analysts would find themselves without the tools to value businesses."
Dividend Aristocrats are companies that have increased their dividends annually for over 25 years and generate reliable cash flows for shareholders. Their steady payouts enable dividend compounding over long periods, creating opportunities to buy dips and achieve outsized returns through reinvestment and long-term holding. FactSet Research (FDS) provides financial information and analytics to investors and recently suffered a sharp stock decline despite revenue of $596.9 million and adjusted EPS of $4.05. The selloff followed weaker fiscal 2026 EPS and operating margin guidance attributed to aggressive AI investments, high bonuses, and one-time charges that may be temporary. FDS trades below 19 times earnings after a 39% year-to-date drop, versus historically higher multiples.
