Jefferies initiates coverage on FactSet Research Systems (NYSE: FDS) with a Buy rating and a price target of $138.00.

Analyst Dan Dolev comments, "Ubiquitous access to information and weak end-markets force companies in the $26bn Information Services industry to compete on content and service. FDS has done this successfully for 3+ decades, plus consensus underestimates margin benefit from abating headcount growth. TRI is on the mend, but Bloomberg is deeply entrenched, plus our survey, IB chat data and self-assessment study show that displacing Bloomberg will be an uphill battle."
