Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Rating On Fair Isaac Corporation

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We maintain our target price of $1,219, applying 26x our FY 27 (Sep.) EPS estimate, with the compressed multiple reflecting regulatory uncertainty following the FHFA's decision allowing VantageScore in conforming mortgages, introducing the first meaningful competition to FICO's long-standing monopoly. Our EPS estimates are $41.08 for FY 26 (up from $38.48) and $46.90 in FY 27. We maintain our Hold rating while awaiting greater clarity on competitive dynamics and adoption trends for FICO's Mortgage Direct licensing program, with lender uptake remaining uncertain and management's dismissal of competitive threats contrasting with defensive pricing actions. While the company continues demonstrating strong near-term performance and aggressive capital returns through share repurchases, the regulatory landscape has fundamentally shifted in ways that warrant caution. FICO's Platform software momentum, expanding operating leverage, and switching costs offer enough upside to balance the recent industry changes.

Research Alert: Fico Delivers Strong Q2, Raises Guidance Amid News Noise

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:FICO delivered exceptional Q2 FY 26 results with revenue of $692M (+39% Y/Y) beating consensus $627M by 10%, while non-GAAP EPS of $12.50 (+60% Y/Y) crushed consensus $10.97 by 14%. The Scores segment drove performance with $475M revenue (+60% Y/Y) as B2B revenue surged 72% from higher mortgage origination pricing and volumes. This validates FICO's pricing strategy and demonstrates its market dominance in credit decisioning. Software showed encouraging progress with platform ARR accelerating 49% Y/Y and platform dollar-based net retention rates reaching 136%, indicating successful cloud migration. Operating margin expanded 900 bps to 58.2%, demonstrating significant leverage, while FCF surged 227% to $214M. Management raised FY 26 guidance with revenue increasing to $2.45B from $2.35B, and EPS guidance lifted to $40.45 from $38.17, both below consensus. We believe management is balancing confidence in near-term mortgage scoring demand and platform software traction against the new competitive dynamics.

Research Alert: Fico Loses Its Grip - Fhfa Opens Door To Rivals

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:FICO's stranglehold on mortgage credit scoring officially ended as FHFA Director Bill Pulte announced that "effective immediately," Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would accept VantageScore, FICO's main competitor, credit models. HUD Secretary Scott Turner said FHA would follow within months. FICO shares plunged 10%+ on the news. Until now, GSEs relied almost exclusively on older FICO models, giving FICO monopolistic control over mortgage financing access. This dominance recently prompted Senator Josh Hawley to investigate FICO's pricing practices. VantageScore costs $0.99 versus FICO's $4.95-$10 plus fees, and uses alternative data like rent payments to score borrowers. We believe this announcement will heavily expand mortgage access, with millions previously excluded by traditional scoring and high costs. This announcement poses a massive headwind for FICO, breaking its monopoly and introducing intense pricing competition unseen in decades. We're watching FICO's April 28 earnings call for management's response.
