NORWALK, Conn., July 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FactSet (NYSE:FDS) (NASDAQ:FDS), a global provider of integrated financial information, analytical applications, and industry-leading service, announced that it has acquired BTU Analytics (BTU), a provider of data and analytics in the North American renewables, power, oil, and natural gas sectors. This deal allows FactSet to expand its industry-specific, or deep sector, content for investment professionals. The transaction closed on July 1, 2021 and is not expected to have a material impact on FactSet’s fiscal 2021 results.

“FactSet is committed to expanding its deep sector content sets,” said Kristy Karnovsky, Senior Vice President and Global Head of Research, FactSet. “The acquisition of BTU strengthens our position in the energy space, an area where we see rapidly growing demand from our clients. BTU Analytics is a leader across all fuel types, including the increasingly relevant power and renewables markets.

Founded in 2014 and based in Lakewood, Colorado, BTU Analytics delivers actionable investment insights into the energy and renewable energy sectors by collecting raw information in the renewables, power, oil, and natural gas marketplace and transforming that data into cross-commodity analytics. Select BTU content is already available within the FactSet workstation, with further integration expected over the coming months.
