Technical picture
The 14-day RSI is 42. Momentum is soft: below the neutral 50 line, but not yet oversold.
MACD is above its signal line, a sign that short-term momentum is turning up.
The price is below both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, the classic picture of a downtrend.
Volume is only 0.6x its 20-day average; light trading makes the latest move less convincing.
Trend structure and money flow
Market structure shows a bearish break of structure (BOS): price broke a recent swing low in the direction of the trend, which usually signals trend continuation.
The most recent swing high is $1,410.17 and the swing low is $870.01; traders often treat these as resistance and support.
Fundamentals
The PEG ratio is 0.71, which looks cheap relative to its expected growth.
The company reports a profit margin of 34.1% and revenue growth of +25.7%.
In its latest quarter it earned $12.18 per share, which beat the $11.78 analysts expected, with revenue +25.7% year over year.
Wall Street's average rating is 2.3 on a 1 (strong buy) to 5 (sell) scale, roughly a "buy", with an average price target of $1,057.16.
The next earnings report is expected around Nov 4, 2026; prices often move sharply around earnings.
Research notes
FICO’s bull case is that its core business remains strong—latest quarterly revenue rose 26%, Scores revenue 41%, EPS 41%, and free cash flow 34%—while lenders may continue using FICO alongside VantageScore because of its established adoption and predictive reputation. The bear case is that FHFA, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac have put VantageScore 4.0 on equal footing for eligible mortgages, threatening the pricing power of a business where mortgage-origination scores represented 62% of Scores revenue in fiscal Q3 2026. The major recent catalyst was the September 29 policy announcement, which triggered roughly a 26% one-day selloff, followed by a rebound after a major mortgage lender indicated it would retain FICO and FICO announced a 15% AI-focused restructuring.
