Company Report

Fair Isaac Earnings: Mortgage Score Pricing in Line With Our Expectations, Nonmortgage Scores Soft

Fair Isaac reported an OK second fiscal quarter. Scores revenue grew 19% driven almost entirely by an 85% increase in mortgage score revenue. Nonmortgage business-to-business and consumer scores revenue were soft. The firm’s software business slowed down a bit, but growth was still healthy. With two quarters left to its fiscal year, Fair Isaac increased its guidance, which was not a surprise to us as the firm’s outlook has historically proven quite conservative. Overall, we will maintain our wide moat rating and $1,010 fair value estimate on Fair Isaac’s shares.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

FICO scores are an industry standard, and the firm has a long runway to increase prices given they are a small cost but critical offering for lenders.

Bears

Fair Isaac trades at a large premium to the credit bureaus and market overall, which could result in the stock seeing an outsize drop during a decline in sentiment.
