81

out of 100

Fair Isaac Corp earns a fundamental-quality score of 81 out of 100, profiling it as a company with solid fundamentals. Its score rests mainly on its profitability (net margin 34.1%). Its weakest area is its financial strength (net debt 4.26× EBITDA). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What the company does

Fair Isaac owns the FICO score: the number deciding whether an American gets a mortgage, car loan or credit card. A de facto monopoly embedded in the entire credit system, with pricing power almost unmatched in public markets.

What will shape its future

  • Its pricing power over mortgage scores, exercised with historic aggression.
  • Regulatory scrutiny of that very monopoly, its only real enemy.
  • Credit-origination volumes (mortgages above all), its cyclical side.
