CAPScall from my blog article "One Simple Stock Screen For Bargain Stocks"
http://beta.fool.com/shawnrobinson/2012/01/31/bargainstocks/1466/
The stock has fallen recently as investors are concerned over the recent decline in subscriber growth, hinting that the company is showing signs of weakness. FDS earns revenue on a per-user basis and any cost-cutting measures conducted by financial institutions is a valid concern. But given that FDS has grown revenue every year since 1996, and has successfully captured market share from their larger rivals Bloomberg and Thomson Reuters, long-term investors should evaluate if the weakness is temporary.

High, flat margin business. Used by many in the financial industry. Growth internationally. Track record of 20% a year growth. Strong free cash flow. Dividend is a plus.

Continuing to take share from Thomson and Bloomberg. Also, Investment banking is finally back and will cease to be a burden on revenues. A little expensive at current levels, but a great long term buy.

This stock has seen a 45% run-up since I bought it 12 months ago and is seeing some profit taking at the moment. Since it is efficient relative to it's peers, I expect to see continuing growth for the foreseeable future (notice I did not say "going forward." Can we all find a better phrase?)

Althogh this is one of my all time favorite stocks, it's present price exceeds or is near 5 Year Historical Highs for PE Ratio, Price/Sales Ratio and Price to Cash Flow. A great company but its present price does not represent good value.

Based on my analysis, the fair value of FDS is $75 a share. As of September 27, 2010, the stock was trading at $80.46 and was overvalued by approximately 7%.
My analysis results are consistent with the analyst from Stifel Nicolaus. He recently cut FDS from Buy to Hold. In my opinion, this stock is a short candidate if you believe that a minor correction in S&P 500 is warranted (which I do). Based on the most recent data, FDS had a short interest ratio of 6.75% (2.8 million shares).
