Business Wire FICO (NYSE:FICO), a global analytics software leader, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a stock repurchase program to acquire up to $2.0 billion of the company’s outstanding common stock. This new program replaces the remaining availability under FICO’s previous $1.5 billion stock repurchase program. The new stock repurchase program, which is open-ended, allows the company to repurchase its shares from time to time in the open market and in negotiated transactions, including accelerated share repurchase programs like the one described below. Also on June 5, 2026, FICO entered into an amendment to its credit agreement to, among other things, provide for an incremental term loan in the amount of $1.5 billion, the full amount of which was drawn on June 5, 2026. FICO intends to use the proceeds of the term loan to fund an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) program pursuant to an agreement it has entered into with Wells Fargo Securities, Inc. (“Wells Fargo”). Pursuant to the ASR agreement, on June 8, 2026, FICO will make an upfront payment of $1.5 billion to Wells Fargo and FICO expects to receive an initial delivery of approximately 1,055,100 shares of common stock, providing the company with prompt share count reduction. The final number of shares to be repurchased will be based on the volume-weighted average price of the company’s common stock during the term of the ASR agreement, less a discount and subject to customary adjustments. At final settlement, the company may receive additional shares or, under certain circumstances, may be required to deliver shares or make a cash payment pursuant to the terms of the ASR agreement.

listening to EFX talk during a recent conference: My notes are the 3 big credit agencies are trying to build out their data even further for credit reports...credit score is only one part of their reports. Although recent news of tri-merge report is going away, they did note lenders often only pull one report during a loan pre-qualification...still require a tri-merge for a mortgage application. This leads me to believe FICO is starting to lose market share in the pre-qualification phase of the loan process.

Also noted, Credit Bureaus are collecting all the data and the scoring models are just models where the data is added to. So despite FICO direct selling to lenders...the lenders still need the data the Credit bureaus are gathering.

This leads me to believe consumer data is going to reach a point where it does not make sense to pull a report from all 3 credit bureaus for GSE purchased loans. It is difficult to say a tri-merge report is needed now with how fast and accurate financial information can be verified without going through all the extra layers of bureaucracy. It will likely be huge fight to stop the GSEs from requiring it, but non-conforming loans will probably stop using a tri-merge report all together. FICO and the credit bureaus do not want the tri-merge report to go away...so they will all lobby against that

More factors to consider: As we all know FICO has developed quite a suite of products and services lenders, etc use. The question is how many of those products are being used simply because they are using whichever FICO scoring platform for the business. If a lender stops using FICO credit scores...will they also switch from any other product they have with FICO?

FICO UK Credit Card Market Report: March 2026May 28, 2026 4:00 AM
Business Wire Fuel crisis increases pressure on affordability as spending and payments dip, with more customers missing one, two and three payments year-on-year The latest credit card data analysis by global analytics software leader FICO (NYSE: FICO) reveals clear signs of the impact of the fuel crisis prompted by the Strait of Hormuz blockade. Spending declined ahead of the Easter period, while payment rates continued to decline, reflecting the structural affordability challenges that have characterised the market since 2025. Concerningly, delinquency rates for customers missing one or two payments have increased both month-on-month and year-on-year, with one missed payment in particular echoing the significant spike seen in March 2025. Highlights Average spending fell by 6.6% month-on-month, to £740, but experienced a marginal increase of 0.3% year-on-year The average active balance is 4.3% higher year-on-year The percentage of overall balance paid decreased 1% month-on-month and 3.7% year-on-year The percentage of customers missing one payment rose increased 29.5% month-on-month The percentage of customers missing two payments rose by 11.3% month-on-month and 14.3% year-on-year Average balances of accounts with one, two or three missed payments fell slightly month-on-month but remain higher than in March 2025 FICO Comment: On-going pressure on personal finances, undoubtedly exacerbated by the fuel crisis pushing up the cost of petrol and diesel, is likely to have contributed to decreased spending in March compared to February, as well as the typical pre-Easter spending patterns. Continuing the modest post-Christmas balance reduction trend seen in recent months, the average active balance decreased by 0.8% month-on-month to £1,925. However, balances remain 4.3% higher year-on-year, maintaining the elevation that has defined the market since early 2025. Decreasing by 1% month-on-month, the percentage of overall balance paid continued the expected downward seasonal trend, falling to 33%, ahead of the expected summer increase. This figure remains 3.7% lower than the previous year, though it is encouraging to see a continued narrowing of the year-on-year gap compared to the 6-7% declines seen throughout much of 2025. While payment rates remain at low levels, the easing of the year-on-year deterioration may indicate some early signs of stabilisation. An area of concern for risk teams will, however, be the fact that March saw notable increases across early and mid-stage late payment categories. The sharp 29.5% month-on-month increase in customers missing one payment reflects a recurring pattern of March stress that was also evident in 2025. The 14.3% year-on-year increase in customers with two missed payments is especially notable and warrants careful monitoring to assess whether this represents a seasonal spike or a more sustained deterioration. All delinquency account categories remain higher year-on-year, representing a concerning shift from the improvements seen at this time last year. The continued moderation in delinquent balance year-on-year growth rates, particularly for two and three missed payments offers some encouragement, though the overall picture remains one of persistent structural stress. Risk teams should closely monitor the progression of March's one-missed-payment spike into two and three missed payments over the coming months. Collections strategies may need to be calibrated to address the higher balance levels now characteristic of delinquent accounts, particularly as seasonal spending begins to increase in spring and summer.

Other factors to consider if you are thinking of investing in FICO. The decision to allow VantageScore to be used put the decision to go a bi-merge report on hold as the new scoring model is adopted. This is important because theoretically, the bi-merge report would cut 1/3 of the revenue out of the scoring market for both FICO and Vantage as well as Experian, Equifax, and Transunion. So just because they are not talking about the bi-merge report lately the movement to go to a bi-merge report still exists and could rear back up when a new administration comes into office.

Essentially, the argument for going to a bi-merge report (aka only requiring 2 of the 3 credit agency reports) is essentially an acknowledgement that Tri-merge credit report is overly redundant. The reality is the 2 credit reports is probably overly redundant in age when the financial and consumer data is way more accurate, available, and more importantly verifiable. We are in age if you cannot have your financial history available online you probably will not qualify a loan no matter what scoring system is used. And the bi-merge report was a push from the other side of the political arena...and not necessarily one the current administration disagrees with.

Why will lenders choose VantageScore over FICO.

1) It ultimately provides the same service as FICO for a cheaper price.

2) VantageScore will allow more people to qualify for a home loan than FICO. I understand the concerns people have with this, but the reality is the big difference between a FICO score and VantageScore is that rental payment history plays a role in VantageScore. So if you have been paying your rent you get points for that. And in there are plenty of markets where the price to rent is more expensive than the price to own a house.

But the point I want to get across is that 30 million more people are expected to be able to qualify for a home loan in the US. AND that means lenders will profit by providing those loans. So lenders will switch not just because VantageScore is cheaper, they switch because they can access more customers.

3) There is a side effect to the VantageScore switch people are not considering. Many lenders use other FICO products just because they use the FICO scoring platform. IE a lot of their software is bundled together. When they make the switch they will likely drop other FICO products or re-evaluate what other FICO products they really need....AND if FICO is raising pricing in Scores right now ..we can probably expect them to raise pricing in there other software products if and when their revenue from Scores falters.

Why hasnt FICO seen more loss of revenue. The heart of the issue is not a FICO score vs a vantage score. The issue is since allowing VantageScore the credit "ratings" agencies...not credit "reporting" agencies having been working out how to rate MBS products that have VantageScore backed loans in the products.

A credit Rating agency is an entity that rates companies, and their fiancial products. Moody's, Standard and Poorts.

A credit reporting agency is Equifax, Transunion, Experian who rate the credit of individuals.

The heart of the issue is VantageScore includes rental data in coming up with an overall credit score and that allows someone who would not be eligible for using a FICO score to be eligible for a home loan. Although VantageScore has been around for decades in the Auto, FIntech, etc industries it has limited exposure the housing market which is why it has taken years to get enough data for the US government to use VantageScore. Since announcing the decision to allow VantageScore in loans bought by the GSEs it has take almost a year for the first loans to be purchased using VantageScore because of this issue. This means the discount between price increases by FICO and overall revenue increases is not even reflecting what they might potentially lose in market share once the lenders are given an all clear to use VantageScore. My Point is VantageScore and other competition is eating FICO's lunch in the non-mortgage markets. Once the doors to the mortgage market are fully open FICO cannot simply raise pricing on its mortgage scoring.

Since no one is publishing how many credit scores FICO is doing, I thought I would look at the math from a different perspective. Take a look at their price increases since 2020 until today. Steve Eisman recently quoted a 500% increase in FICO scores since 2020. When I asked Google AI it came up with an 1800% increase since 2020. So if you look at FICO score revenue reported for 2020 ($1.160B) and And FICO's Revenue from scores in 2025 ($1.17B) you notice a disconnect. 1) The amount of homes purchased in 2025 is approximately 30 percent less that 2020 (height of COVID) ..so If I account for the additional homes sold FICO should make 1.52B if they performed the same amount of scores, But that is definitely not an 1800 percent increase in revenue which should of happened if they were truly the only game in town. Nor is it not a 500 percent increase in revenue from Scores. The truth has to be they have lost a large portion of the behind the scenes scoring market. Although we still see advertisements for FICO scores because the masses see the links. The lenders who give out loans have stopped using FICO on a much wider scale.. The market share loss is barely being covered up by the extreme price increases.

New Study Shows FICO® Score 10T Provides Greater Predictive Power for First-Time HomebuyersMay 18, 2026 12:00 PM
Business Wire Independent study finds FICO Score 10T is the most predictive credit score for first-time homebuyer mortgages, supporting sustainable access to homeownership FICO (NYSE: FICO), global analytics software leader, today announced the results of a new analysis by independent actuarial firm Milliman, finding that FICO® Score 10T is the most predictive credit score for evaluating first-time homebuyer mortgage risk, outperforming VantageScore 4.0. The findings are especially significant for the millions of Americans working to achieve the dream of homeownership, where the accuracy of the credit score a lender relies on directly shapes who gets approved and on what terms. The newly released analysis builds on Milliman's earlier research showing FICO® Score 10T is the most predictive credit score for evaluating mortgage default risk. Milliman independently analyzed nearly 20 million mortgages from a major U.S. credit bureau, covering GSE, FHA, and overall mortgage loans from 2011 through 2023. Key findings from the Milliman analysis on first-time buyers include: More accurate risk prediction overall: FICO® Score 10T did a better job separating borrowers who pay as agreed from those who default, across all three industry-standard measures as identified by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in their 2020 Joint Enterprise Credit Solicitation to assess score accuracy and reliability. Strongest results for FHA loans: For FHA first-time homebuyer mortgages, a critical path to homeownership for lower-down-payment buyers, FICO Score 10T outperformed VantageScore 4.0 by over 10%. The differences between score performance were largest for origination periods with higher default rates, strengthening FICO Score 10T’s value in managing default risk. More first-time buyers in better pricing tiers: FICO Score 10T scored more first-time homebuyers in the highest credit score bands relative to VantageScore 4.0. “FICO believes the best way to expand homeownership is to give lenders the most accurate view of the borrowers in front of them,” said Julie May, vice president and general manager of B2B Scores at FICO. “This Milliman study shows that FICO Score 10T provides a more reliable view of first-time homebuyer risk than any other credit score available today. That precision allows lenders to extend credit confidently to qualified buyers, supports more stable outcomes for families and investors, and ultimately helps open the door to homeownership for more Americans.” FICO® Score 10T incorporates trended credit data and, when available in the credit bureau file, rental payment history — giving lenders a more complete view of how consumers manage credit and housing payments over time. That richer picture is especially meaningful for first-time homebuyers, whose credit profiles are often thinner or still evolving. To ensure lenders can evaluate the findings for themselves, FICO® Score 10T is currently available at no cost alongside Classic FICO through the FICO Score 10T Free Access Program, enabling side-by-side testing without requiring lenders to pay for an additional score. Nearly 60 lenders have already signed up. The full white paper is available at https://www.milliman.com/en/insight/fico-score-10t-vantagescore-4-analysis-first-time-homebuyers.

Global analytics software leader FICO (NYSE: FICO) is elevating findings from a newly released white paper by independent actuarial firm Milliman, which found that FICO® Score 10T is the most predictive credit score for evaluating mortgage default risk. The analysis was performed across all mortgages, including Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac and FHA mortgages, with consistent results across each population.


The Milliman analysis is the first independent, head-to-head study to evaluate the predictive performance of two new modern scores, FICO Score 10T and VantageScore 4.0, using a large historical sample of U.S. mortgage originations covering multiple distinct time periods from 2011 to 2023. According to the results of the Milliman study, FICO Score 10T produced higher measures of predictive power and, therefore, risk differentiation across multiple mortgage product types, reinforcing its value for lenders, investors, and the broader housing finance system.


Key findings from the Milliman analysis include:



FICO® Score 10T performed better, as measured by three calculations of predictive power, across all types of mortgage loans: In an analysis of nearly 20 million mortgages, Milliman found that FICO Score 10T consistently predicted mortgage defaults more accurately than VantageScore 4.0 across all mortgages and individually for GSE and FHA loans.



The performance advantage was strongest in FHA lending: FICO Score 10T outperformed VantageScore 4.0 by more than 8%1 in FHA lending, the segment that serves first-time homebuyers and underserved borrowers, demonstrating that the more predictive score also delivers the greatest advantage for the people for whom an accurate credit assessment can make or break a path to sustained homeownership.



FICO Score 10T's performance advantage over VantageScore 4.0 has more than doubled since 2018: The analysis also shows that the performance difference between FICO Score 10T and VantageScore 4.0 is greatest for more recent origination years and generally populations with more observed defaults. For example, in the 2023 GSE loan vintage, FICO Score 10T outperformed by 7.4%, more than double the already impressive 3.4%2 improvement observed on the 2018 vintage. This result highlights the robustness of FICO Score 10T and the time-tested, proven FICO blueprint it is based on that has earned the trust of the mortgage industry for over 30 years.



FICO Score 10T incorporates trended credit data and rental payment information when available in the credit bureau file, offering a more complete view of borrower behavior while avoiding model features of the alternate credit score that disadvantage first-time homebuyers or those without prior homeownership history.


"FICO has been a cornerstone of mortgage credit risk for decades,” said Julie May, vice president and general manager of B2B Scores at FICO. “As we enter a new chapter of credit score policy, the conversation about which score is best should be grounded in facts, specifically, an empirical comparison of the modern scores. The scores use the same data — rental, utility and trended. The difference is in how we use the data and this Milliman study confirms what more than 50 lenders have already seen in practice: our use of the data in FICO Score 10T delivers the strongest predictive performance available for mortgage lending today and can be trusted to continue to deliver that predictive performance for years to come.”


The analysis was prepared independently by Milliman as part of a consulting engagement with FICO, and reflects Milliman’s own methodology and conclusions. The full white paper is available at https://www.milliman.com/en/insight/fico-score-10t-vantagescore-4-analysis-credit-mortgage.


Free Access to FICO Score 10T Lower-Cost Path to Adoption


To ensure lenders can evaluate the findings for themselves, FICO Score 10T is currently available at no cost alongside Classic FICO through the FICO Score 10T Free Access Program, enabling side-by-side testing without requiring lenders to pay for an additional score.


More than 55 mortgage lenders representing $557 billion in originations and $1.6 trillion in mortgage servicing portfolios have already signed up for the FICO Score 10T Free Access Program including Rate, Guild, Cross Country Mortgage, Planet Home and more. As lenders navigate an increasingly complex risk environment, FICO is elevating awareness of the program to ensure the market knows that access is available today.


In addition, through the FICO Mortgage Direct License Program, FICO has introduced a simplified and transparent pricing model for lenders ready to deploy FICO Score 10T in production. Under the program, FICO Score 10T is priced at $0.99 per score with a $65 funding fee, providing a lower-cost alternative to legacy distribution models while preserving pricing transparency.


"Credit score modernization is one of the most consequential shifts the mortgage market has seen in decades, and lenders need the ability to evaluate their options with real data,” added May. “We've removed every barrier we can with the FICO Score 10T Free Access Program, and our newest and most predictive credit score is available for free alongside the score lenders already know and trust. The performance findings speak for themselves; we want to make sure every lender has the chance to see them."

Original: First-of-Its-Kind Independent Study Finds FICO® Score 10T the Most Predictive Credit Score for Mortgage Lending

note: They are price FICO 10T at .99 cents with a fee of 65 dollars for loans that go through. Versus the other FICO scoring products which are priced at $4.95 upfront with a $33 dollar fee if loan goes through. Not sure if that accounts for all the hidden costs in both pricing lines. But the reality is FICO just raise prices in my mind for home buyers. Essentially, FICO raised pricing again for home buyers. The $65 dollar fee at the tail end represents another significant increase to overall costs to a homebuyer for a score.

I do not know the statistics for the overall population...but I do know that I could walk in and get a loan without checking my score a bunch of times so If I use FICO 10T, I would pay significantly more than using VantageScore 4.0 for a credit score.

Yes this will generate more revenue...but again it opens the door for VantageScore to come in and take market share which is the real problem with FICO....because next year people will expect FICO to shell out a larger share repurchase program...IE FICO will load up on more debt...therefore they will raise prices significantly again.

Earnings results are in. The EPS beat was a given. Updating EPS guidance to be higher when stock price has fallen so much. Also a given.

If you increase the price of scores by 100% and only get a 60 percent increase in Revenue that tells me people are switching from FICO to something else. There B2B growth is advertisement. They didnt even have it broken out from Scores until recently and the fact they went to direct selling FICO via B2B versus going through rating agencies tells me they should have add a massive growth in B2B...but again it is how you tell a story. And they are telling one. The balance says long term debt has grown by a billion dollars. Overall debt has grown by ~400M.

The real issue is they are buying back stock by taking on more debt. ,,,which in turn is driving them to raise prices for scores...which causes customers to look for cheaper alternatives to FICO scores....AND now in the mortgage market you can use an alternative to FICO scores. ...and despite FICO claims otherwise are just as good as FICO scores.

Disclosure: I do not own FICO, or any of the ratings agencies. I am not shorting, day trading any shares of those entities either. I am using this as a case study for my own investment knowledge.

I am a long term investor. I see too many red flags for a retail investor like me to consider taking a position in this stock. Eventually, FICO wont be able raise prices to keep paying for their growing debt. A 30 plus P/E at current multiples makes the stock expensive to buy back.

Note: Vanguard sold some of their position (small amount) prior to earnings release. They as a company, through multiple funds are the largest shareholder of the stock. This is the first time I have seen them sell some shares.

FICO UK Credit Card Market Report: February 2026April 29, 2026 4:00 AM
Business Wire
Balances show signs of stabilising as payment rates trend down, with missed payment balance levels remaining higher than in 2025


The latest credit card data analysis by global analytics software leader FICO (NYSE: FICO) shows the typical recovery in spending following January's post-Christmas decline. However, the structural affordability challenges that defined 2025 remain, with payment rates continuing to trend down and balance levels for accounts with missed payments higher than this time last year. These may increase going forward due to rising energy prices.


Key Findings:



Spending rose by 5.1% month-on-month to an average of £790



Average active balances remained stable month-on-month at £1,940, but were 4.5% higher than February 2025



The percentage of the overall balance paid followed typical seasonal patterns, decreasing 1.53% on the previous month to 33.4%



Customers missing one and two payments dropped respectively 12% and 8.9% month-on-month



The percentage of customers missing three payments increased 2% month-on-month and 8% year-on-year



The average balance of missed payments increased across all categories and continues to be significantly higher than in 2025



FICO comment


February 2026 data show tentative signs of stabilisation across the UK economy, with the narrowing of the year-on-year payment rate gap and a halt in the year-on-year decline in spending seen since early 2025. However, persistently elevated balance levels for accounts with missed payments suggest that underlying affordability pressures continue.


While February saw month-on-month improvements for accounts missing one and two payments, there was a 2% increase in accounts missing three payments, underlining the challenge for individuals already facing financial difficulties.


Fewer customers missed one payment in February than in February 2025, but more missed two and three payments, continuing the concerning trend that emerged in the second half of 2025 of those already in debt being unable to recover. Another indicator of financial stress is the fact that balances for all accounts with missed payments increased month-on-month and year-on-year.


The percentage of overall balance paid fell to 33.4%, which is 4.3% lower than the previous year. However, this represents an encouraging narrowing of the year-on-year gap compared to recent months, where declines of 6-7% were commonplace. This reduction follows typical seasonal patterns and is expected to continue decreasing until April.


Average credit limits remained flat month-on-month at £5,940 and are 2.4% higher year-on-year. While overlimit accounts decreased by 3.7% on the previous month, they remain 6.5% higher than February 2025. The average overlimit amount increased by 2.1% month-on-month to £95, representing a 5.5% annual increase.


Risk teams should maintain heightened monitoring into the spring months, when seasonal spending increases and higher energy costs may put renewed pressure on customers already operating at stretched affordability levels. Proactive pre-delinquency intervention and tailored collections strategies for higher-balance accounts remain critical priorities.

Absa Bank Strengthens Fraud Prevention, Fraud Investigation Customer Communication and Improves Collections Outcomes Using FICO TechnologyApril 27, 2026 4:00 AM
Business Wire
South African banking leader innovates with WhatsApp and FICO® Customer Communication Services to engage customers instantly and drive measurable results


Absa Group Limited, one of South Africa’s “big 5” banks, has dramatically improved debt collection strategies and fraud protection using customer communications technology from global analytics software leader FICO (NYSE:FICO). By using WhatsApp to instantly confirm suspected fraud transactions with customers, Absa improved self-solve cases by 47% for digital and card fraud and prevented significantly more fraud. Furthermore, Absa improved fraud investigation customer communication by 121%, leading to improved fraud customer experience throughout the investigation stages. For its results in both fraud management and debt collection, Absa has won a 2026 FICO® Decision Award, chosen by an independent panel of judges.


More information: https://www.fico.com/en/customer-lifecycle/contact-and-communicate


“Absa serves 13 million customers across Africa, and therefore recognized the critical need for constant adaptation and innovation in fraud prevention strategies. Absa operates within a dynamic banking environment shaped by rising fraud risks, customer vulnerabilities, and mounting regulatory pressures. To protect our customers and support them when they need us most, we needed smarter, faster ways to communicate," said Ally Mafunzwaini, Executive of Absa Fraud Solutions.


Against a backdrop of high inflation, interest rate increases and mounting pressure on South African households in recent years, Absa took proactive steps to help customers remain on track with their credit commitments and protect themselves against elevated fraud attempts. Absa collaborated with FICO to improve both fraud prevention and debt collection strategies through deploying FICO® Customer Communication Services (CCS) in both areas.


Groundbreaking WhatsApp Integration Delivers Measurable Results


Working with FICO, Absa became the first bank among South Africa's “big 5” and the only pan-African bank to use WhatsApp for fraud prevention and customer communication throughout the fraud case journey. Absa integrated FICO CCS with its fraud detection infrastructure, specifically FICO® Falcon® Fraud Manager, to deliver real-time, two-way fraud verification via WhatsApp.


When suspicious activity is detected, CCS initiates an interactive message to the customer via WhatsApp conversation within milliseconds, or a recorded voice note or SMS if the customer does not have a smartphone. Customers can instantly confirm whether the transaction is legitimate or fraudulent. If it’s fraudulent, CCS automatically brings a fraud representative into the conversation.


Similarly, Absa deployed FICO CCS to improve communications with customers in collections. The bank currently uses both voice and WhatsApp channels to communicate with customers in distress. FICO optimization is used to segment customers by risk profile with greater granularity. This helps Absa to design differentiated treatment paths, from low-cost digital nudges to high-touch restructures.


Strong Results in Fraud Prevention and Collections


The bank's integrated approach has delivered measurable business and customer outcomes across both fraud prevention and collections strategies. Results include:



Improved fraud containment rate: With the introduction of WhatsApp, Absa increased the containment rate (percentage of frauds that are successfully resolved at the initial point of contact) by 29% in card fraud and 33% in digital fraud.



Faster customer service: CCS interactions are now independent of human assistance, which has improved efficiency and customer experience.



More fraud stopped: Preventions value for digital and card fraud also increased significantly in 2025 compared to 2024.



Rise in collections promise to pay: Absa more than doubled customer promises to pay since adding WhatsApp channel to its communications strategy.



Rise in amounts collected: The amounts steadily increased from 2024 to 2025, with year-on-year growth more than doubling.



“Together, these initiatives powered by FICO have transformed how Absa engages with customers during moments of financial stress and fraud risk,” said Moremi Mabe, Head of Collections (Absa Home Loans). “Customers now experience timely, personalized, and empathetic communication.”


“Absa's fantastic results demonstrate the power of deploying intelligent omni-channel communications technology across the credit lifecycle,” said Nikhil Behl, president of software at FICO. “Their commitment to innovation and customer protection exemplifies the kind of forward-thinking leadership we celebrate with the FICO Decision Awards.”


“The judges were impressed by Absa’s strong results improving customer communications across the business,” said Lisa Morgan, technology journalist and contributor at InformationWeek, who was a FICO Decision Awards judge. “Absa has clearly improved customer trust using FICO’s technology.”

Erste Group Offers Tailored Financing Solutions Across Countries Using FICO AIApril 20, 2026 4:00 AM
Business Wire
Leading financial services provider in Central and Eastern Europe uses AI-powered decision optimization across products and areas from lending to collections


Erste Group Bank AG, the leading financial services provider in Central and Eastern Europe, has deployed optimization technology from FICO (NYSE: FICO) to enhance its customized pricing and limit strategies in order to offer tailored and more flexible financing terms. Customers benefit from optimization for mortgages, cash loans and other retail products. This project has earned Erste Group Bank a 2026 FICO® Decision Award for AI, Machine Learning & Optimization.


More information: https://www.fico.com/en/platform/enterprise-optimization


The journey of mathematical optimization within Erste Group has been unfolding for nearly 14 years. Since then, Erste Group has been rolling out optimized strategies across decision areas and products. Mathematical optimization enhances traditional pricing approaches that relied primarily on expert judgment.


Mathematically optimized pricing for loans supports the bank’s risk management and business by enabling limits to be set more accurately than through human judgement alone. This not only allows the bank to make more precise and flexible financing decisions for its customers, it also strengthens measures to prevent over-indebtedness. When applying mathematical optimization, protecting customer data is a key priority for Erste Group. Mathematical optimization models rely solely on the financial parameters of each financing case and do not use any personal customer data.


One project that has benefitted from the use of FICO Decision Optimizer is pricing for small business unsecured installment loans. The original setup relied heavily on manual decision making—nearly 90% of loan pricing was driven by branch-level price exceptions. By combining machine learning models that predict individual client behavior (take-up, prepayment, and risk) with mathematical optimization, Erste Group enabled individualized pricing at scale, while significantly reducing manual exceptions, and experienced a 22% profit increase.


The implementation of FICO’s mathematical optimization across Erste Group has also delivered measurable improvements for its clients. For the bank, it aligned with its strategic goals of strengthening profitability, customer satisfaction, and operational efficiency. This ensures a mutually beneficial outcome for both the client and the bank.


To expand its success with FICO optimization, the banking group created an Optimization Expert role to guide selected bank analysts through the entire optimization process. This includes sharing know-how, supporting data preparation, leading the development of component models, helping to build complete solutions with FICO optimization, and assisting with deployment and evaluation.


“Erste Group Bank has consistently innovated in its use of mathematical optimization to power smarter decisions,” said Nikhil Behl, president, software at FICO. “They have proven results in multiple areas, demonstrating their excellence and the gains that this technology provides across the enterprise. FICO considers them one of the most advanced users of optimization in retail banking today.”


For its achievements, Erste Group Bank AG won a 2026 FICO® Decision Award for AI, Machine Learning & Optimization.


“The judging panel was impressed by how Erste Group Bank extended results from one country to multiple regions,” said Shrimanth Adla, senior director, credit risk strategy and analytics, Comcast, and one of the FICO Decision Awards judges. “They have made AI-powered strategies into an analytic advantage.”


About Erste Group Bank AG


Erste Group is the leading financial services provider in the eastern part of the EU. Its ca. 55,000 employees serve around 23 million customers across 8 core markets (Austria, Croatia, Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Serbia, and Slovakia), including through over 2,100 branches.

Original: Fair Isaac Corporation Announces Date for Reporting of Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Financial Results

observation: FICO is up today and has retraced about 50 percent of the price lost on Friday. The real observation is the price is being moved up on what amounts to about 40-45 percent of the volume as compared to Friday.

What I think is happening a slow steady sell out by the major holders of the stock in deliberate patterns. The stock has gone from a mid 90 percent ownership to a high 80's percent ownership according to Fintel. Several of the major shareholders have to be systematically selling off. The effect is the stock price is going down dramatically over the past year with occasional spikes to lower highs before falling dramatically. I have stated multiple times I think FICO scores are not going away. We are just getting to a point where customers will choose to use FICO or another Scoring model...and ultimately it will be price of the service provided that determines the decision. The stock is not a long term investment and at best is only day tradeable (via options, shorting, etc). My opinion is this stock has much further to fall. It is currently priced above fair value by a considerable amount.

More research: Barclay's became the latest institution to downgrade FICO today cutting price target from 2400 to 1950. That represents an 18 percent cut in the price target.

I am watching other boards and not seeing any real case for why this should go higher. EPS beats when they are just repurchasing shares is not a case for buying this stock...especially when they are increasing the debt burden.

The real test will happen when revenues finally do not meet expectations, and they can no longer simply raise prices to pay the bill due on the debt. This still has further to fall, and it appears some retail and institutional investors are realizing the music FICO has been playing is about to stop.

FICO UK Credit Card Market Report: January 2026March 23, 2026 5:00 AM
Business Wire
Persistent financial pressures evident as customers reduce spend and focus on paying credit card bills, but missed payments remain high


Analysis of credit card data for January 2026 by global analytics software leader FICO (NYSE:FICO) shows the typical post-Christmas reduction in spending as customers prioritised payments after the festive break. However, with spending lower year-on-year and increases in missed payments, the financial pressures that were a feature of the UK economy for the majority of 2025 have continued into the new year, requiring risk and collections teams to remain vigilant.


Highlights



Spending fell by 9.4% month-on-month to an average of £755; 1.8% lower than January 2025 this is a clear indication of continued financial pressures



After reaching a record high in December 2025, balances only fell slightly in January 2026, by 0.6%, remaining 4.8% higher year-on-year



33.9% of overall balances were paid, which is 1.4% higher month-on-month but 6.7% lower than January 2025



The number of customers missing one, two and three payments increased month-on-month, and average balances of these accounts were higher than the previous year



Accounts over their credit limit increased 6% month-on-month and 6.2% year-on-year, providing further evidence of persistent financial pressures



FICO Comment:


As is typical of January, spend and balances reduced, with customers prioritising payments following seasonal spending. The percentage of overall balance paid showed some improvement, as it typically does in the new year. However, as it remains 6.7% lower than the previous year, it appears that consumers may be more financially stretched than last year.


The combination of this decline in payment rates alongside a 4.8% year-on-year increase in average balances demonstrates that the affordability challenges that defined 2025 have persisted into 2026. Risk and collections teams should focus on proactive intervention strategies, particularly given the 14.3% monthly increase in the number of credit card accounts with two missed payments, which suggests potential acceleration of financial stress among vulnerable customer segments.

Original: FICO UK Credit Card Market Report: January 2026

More research: With increased competition in the marketplace on Credit Score, FICO continues to maintain a goodwill amount of the balance sheet of $783M dollars as an asset. I expect with competition from VantageScore, and now AI modeling, we can expect there to be calls for justify why the goodwill is so high.

As a case study, this situation is starting to mirror what happened to Kodak. Where increased competition, and even outright replacement occurred and Kodak was forced to acknowledge a goodwill impairment on their balance sheets as a result which resulted in a free fall of the stock price.

I think we are getting to a point where the goodwill on that balance sheet needs to be tested correctly, or analysts need to consider that FICO's main asset is its scoring models. Im not saying their goodwill goes to Zero. A more likely case is a 50 percent haircut if they continue to lose market share in the scoring markets as they have been.

Either way the stock price is still way out in front of any actual value.

UK Credit Cards in 2025: Balances Reached New Highs While Payments FellMarch 16, 2026 8:30 AM
Business Wire
Persistent affordability pressures push up average balances despite lower spending as consumers actively curtail discretionary expenditure


According to analysis of its credit card data for 2025 by global analytics software leader FICO (NYSE: FICO), there was a fundamental shift in market dynamics from traditional cyclical patterns to clear management of affordability challenges. The year was characterised by consumers struggling to manage existing debt levels, with average balances reaching record highs while payment rates fell.


Highlights



The upward trajectory of average balances was the defining trend of 2025, with year-on-year growth above 4.5% every month, reaching an all-time high of £1,950 in December



There was also a deterioration in payment rates, with every month falling below 2024 levels



The number of customers missing one payment dropped year-on-year, but the percentage of customers missing two and three payments trended upwards from May and June respectively, for the remainder of the year



The number of customers using credit cards to withdraw cash followed seasonal trends, with summer peaks and winter troughs, but remained lower than in 2024



The data shows a very clear picture of consumers actively curtailing expenditure due to persistent affordability pressures. Spend was consistently lower than in 2024, average balances were higher and the percentage of overall balance paid dropped year-on-year.


Spending in Decline


From March 2025, as the cost of living increased, year-on-year spending declines persisted. Although it followed the expected seasonal patterns, with December reaching £831 and June peaking at £826, year-on-year these represented reductions compared to 2024.


Balances Rising


However, whilst spend dropped, balances did not, further underlining affordability pressures felt by UK households. Starting from £1,849 in January (+4.6% YoY), balances reached an all-time high of £1,950 by December (+4.8% YoY), with sustained elevation throughout the year. The persistent growth, occurring alongside reduced spending, clearly demonstrates the impact of deteriorating payment behaviours.


2025 saw a deterioration in the percentage of overall balance paid, with every month falling below 2024 levels. Beginning at 36.3% in January (-3.4% YoY), payment rates declined throughout the year, reaching 33.4% in November (-7.4% YoY) before stabilising at 33.4% in December (-6.8% YoY).


Missed Payments


The picture for missed payments also illustrates the juggling act many households faced through the year. Fewer accounts missed one payment than in 2024. However, the average balance for accounts missing one payment is higher than in 2024, and has been growing at a faster rate since May. This indicates that when customers experience payment difficulties in early delinquency, they do so with substantially higher debt loads than previous cohorts. Average balances for accounts with one missed payment reached £2,440 by December, representing an 8.2% year-on-year increase.


The percentage of customers missing two and three payments has trended upwards since the middle of the year and the average balance has also increased since 2024. Accounts with two missed payments peaked at £2,938 in November (+4.9% YoY) and those with three missed payments rose to £3,324 in December (+4.1% YoY).


The Picture for 2026


Heading into 2026, with other economic indicators still illustrating financial pressures, pre-delinquency intervention strategies will be critical for lenders, with authorisation transaction approvals closely monitored as customers reach their limit. Flexible payment options, affordability reviews, and balance management tools such as spending alerts and caps will help to prevent customers from accumulating high balances in early-stage delinquency.

FICO UK Credit Card Market Report: December 2025February 17, 2026 4:00 AM
Business Wire
Continued financial pressures evident as balances reach highest level since FICO records began


FICO (NYSE: FICO):


Analysis of credit card data for December 2025 by global analytics software leader FICO shows typical seasonal trends for increased spending. However, balances reached the highest level seen since FICO began analysing credit card data, while payments remained stable. With the start of the new year typically seeing consumers facing the reality of Christmas spending, there’s the potential for increased financial stress at the start of the new year.


Highlights



Spending rose by 5.6% from November to December, reaching an average of £830, however it was 3.5% lower than December 2024 continuing the pattern seen since March



Average active balances rose to the highest level since FICO records began, up 1.7% on November and 4.8 year-on-year to £1,950



The percentage of overall balance paid stabilised at 33.4% in December – 0.1% higher than November but 6.8% lower year-on-year



Following seasonal trends customers missing one payment increased 6.4% month-on-month. The percentage missing three payments increased 3.7% month-on-month and 4.9% year-on-year



Average balances for customers with missed payments remain significantly higher compared to 2024



FICO Comment:


For the second month, low payment rates (33.4%) and high pre-Christmas spending led to rising average balances. These trends signal continued financial stress for consumers, with balances continuing their persistent upward trend seen in recent years. It is expected that payment rates will increase in January as consumers traditionally focus on paying off Christmas spend in the New Year.


December typically sees the number of customers missing one payment increase and 2025 was no exception, as consumers prioritised new spending over repaying balances. With the higher cost of living, average balances for delinquent customers remain significantly elevated compared to 2024. With more customers having missed three payments, and balances for this group having risen compared to the previous month and previous year, the most financially stressed are facing continued challenges.


The record-high average active balance of £1,950, combined with payment rates remaining low, highlights the affordability challenges facing UK consumers. Risk teams should prepare for potential payment stress in January and February with enhanced monitoring of payment patterns and proactive intervention strategies critical.

The transformation has enabled more of Grab’s drivers, merchants, and passengers to not just access formal credit, but to do this at a much faster rate.


The solution uses appropriate behavioral data, including ride frequency, merchant revenues and payment history, supported by the industry-leading capabilities of FICO Platform to enable automated pre-approved offers across Grab’s ecosystem, in line with applicable laws/regulations in the region and Grab’s privacy commitments.

“Grab saw a strategic opportunity to make financing in Southeast Asia more accessible by leveraging our superapp ecosystem and behavioral data,” said Andre Tan, Regional Head, Lending Risk Platforms at Grab Finance. “Using FICO Platform, we can deliver contextual, real-time credit offers across multiple verticals within the Grab super app. This enables us to expand financial inclusion by providing credit access for underserved users who are economically active but often overlooked by traditional lenders.”


Breaking Down Barriers: Conquering Southeast Asia's Credit Challenges


Southeast Asia, home to more than 700 million people, has one of the world's largest underbanked populations. Grab Finance saw an opportunity to deliver responsible, scalable credit services across this diverse and complex region, given Grab’s scale and data-rich ecosystem.


One of the key challenges faced by many individuals and businesses in the region as they seek credit was data scarcity arising from their lack of traditional credit bureau history, leaving them with thin or no files at the bureau. Grab needed to develop alternative risk models using in-app behavioral signals, such as ride patterns, merchant activity and payment habits.


“We had millions of drivers and merchants who were invisible to traditional banks but were earning real income every day on our platform," said Tan. “We knew we could change that equation, but we needed technology that could support our efforts to see what conventional credit scoring couldn't.”


Additionally, the fragmented regulatory landscape meant credit, banking and data protection laws differ significantly across Southeast Asian countries, requiring localized compliance and explainability without losing regional consistency.


Rapid Time-to-Value


In less than eight months, FICO was able to deliver phase one of the transformation across six countries Grab operates in, enabling Grab to automate key processes such as credit eligibility assessment. The ambitious project involved 22 separate decision workflows delivered across the region and Grab’s three customer portfolios (driver-partners, passengers and merchant-partners).


“What Grab Finance has accomplished here is remarkable. They've essentially turned everyday digital behavior into a credit passport for millions of people who were previously invisible to traditional banking,” said Nikhil Behl, president, software at FICO. “When a taxi driver in Jakarta can get credit based on their ride patterns, or a food merchant in Bangkok can access working capital through their delivery history, that's not just innovation, it's economic transformation at scale.”


For its achievements, Grab Finance won a 2026 FICO® Decision Award for Financial Inclusion.


“This project drew attention because Grab Finance addressed credit assessment at a regional scale, rather than focusing solely on a discrete technology implementation,” said Sam Abadir, research director, risk and compliance, IDC Financial Insights, and a judge for the FICO Decision Awards. “The judges noted how the organization operationalized regulatory diversity across Southeast Asia within its credit decisioning framework, demonstrating an approach that integrates compliance requirements directly into platform design.”

FICO UK Credit Card Market Report: November 2025January 30, 2026 4:00 AM
Business Wire
Pre-Christmas spending remained below 2024 figures, but balances rose as payments fell to the lowest level since 2021


FICO (NYSE: FICO)


Analysis of credit card data for November 2025 by global analytics software leader FICO has found spending, balances and payments followed seasonal trends in the run-up to Christmas. However, while spending rose as expected during November, it was lower year-on-year, signalling continued pressure on household finances. Average balances resumed an upward trajectory as payment rates dropped to the lowest level since 2021, and overlimit usage increased, meaning risk and collections teams need to be particularly vigilant.


Highlights



Spending rose by 2.6% from October to November, reaching an average of £785, but remained 2.4% lower year-on-year



Average active balances reached £1,915, representing a monthly increase of 0.8% and an annual rise of 5%



33.4% of the overall balance was paid in November 2025, 2.8% down on the previous month and 7.4% down from November 2024



Average balances for customers missing payments have increased across all categories, month-on-month and year-on-year



The number of credit card accounts over their limit in November increased by 6.4% month-on-month and 5.9% year-on-year



The percentage of customers using credit cards to take out cash showed the most significant seasonal decline, decreasing by 12.3% from the previous month and 15.2% year-on-year



FICO Comment:


The combination of the lowest payment rates since 2021 (33.4%) and increasing overlimit usage signals significant financial stress as consumers entered the critical Christmas spending period. With the likelihood of further deterioration in December before some recovery in January, when consumers typically focus on paying off festive spend, risk and collections teams should implement enhanced monitoring for customers showing early warning signs of payment distress.


The continued growth in delinquent balances across all categories indicates that when customers do miss payments, they are doing so with significantly higher debt loads than in previous years. This will make recovery more challenging and require more intensive collection strategies.


Compared to November 2024, there was a mixed picture across accounts with one, two and three missed payments. Improvements were seen in early-stage delinquency, while deterioration was evident in the later stages.


Effective account management decisions must consider a consumer’s current circumstances and ability to afford their current levels of debt, as well as their ability to absorb additional debt – especially if they have recently paid off outstanding balances and their overall behavioural risk has improved. Proactive outreach is a key factor here; it’s the difference between helping a customer stay on track and dealing with a full-blown arrears situation later. It is also at the heart of the Consumer Duty; lenders must ensure any solution offered doesn’t set up the customer to fail.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures


To supplement the consolidated GAAP financial statements, the company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP EPS, and free cash flow. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS exclude, to the extent applicable, such items as the impact of amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, restructuring and acquisition-related, excess tax benefit, and adjustment to tax valuation allowance items. Free cash flow excludes capital expenditures. The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.


Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Our management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of recurring business results including significant non-cash expenses. We believe management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to historical performance and liquidity as well as comparisons to our competitors’ operating results. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow for greater transparency with respect to key measures used by management in its financial and operating decision-making.
