The Barchart Chart of the Day belongs to the financial services firm FactSet Research Systems (NYSE: FDS).  I found the company by sorting Barchart's All Time High list first by the highest number of new highs in the last month, then used the Flipchart function to review the charts for consistent price appreciation.
