- FICO to Present Free Credit Education Workshops at Select Citi Branches
May 14, 2026
FICO’s Score A Better Future™ Program brings expert-led financial literacy sessions to select Citi branches across the U.S.
BOZEMAN, Mont., May 14, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Global analytics software leader, FICO(NYSE:FICO) is hosting a series of free credit education workshops at select Citi branches nationwide through FICO’s Score A Better Future™ (SABF) program. These workshops are designed to empower individuals in traditionally underserved communities with the knowledge and tools to make informed financial decisions and prepare for life milestones, such as renting an apartment, buying a home, owning a business, or advancing education.
The SABF workshops will offer expert-led guidance on understanding credit, budgeting, and long-term financial planning. Attendees will learn how to read credit reports, understand the factors that influence their FICO® Score, and take actionable steps toward their financial health. On‑site financial and credit specialists from FICO will discuss the benefits of counseling and offer guidance to help attendees plan their financial goals.
Building on the success of several previous workshops together, FICO and Citi will host a dozen free credit education events throughout 2026, with several taking place at new state-of-the-art Citi locations.
The series will kick off on Thursday, May 28, 2026, at Citi’s new flagship branch located at One California Street in Downtown San Francisco. Subsequent workshops are planned for branches in states including Florida, New York, and Illinois. Interested individuals can sign up for the San Francisco event and find more information here: https://www.fico.com/sabf/.
"Making informed money decisions is essential to economic mobility and overall wellness," said Mindy Mercaldo, Head of U.S. Branch Network at Citi. "Through our collaboration with FICO, Citi is helping to deliver vital financial education directly to communities, providing individuals with the knowledge to better understand and manage their credit, build financial health, and work towards their personal goals."
A FICO-sponsored Harris poll on financial literacy underscores the urgency of these efforts: 98% of Americans — and 99% of Gen Z adults — say financial literacy is essential to financial stability, while 74% believe they’d be better off today if they had more access to personal finance education and resources.
"Your credit score is more than a number, it’s a powerful indicator of financial readiness and a key that unlocks opportunity," said Jenelle Dito, vice president of Consumer Empowerment Programs and Partnerships at FICO. "SABF was created to provide people with clear and practical guidance they can use immediately. We’re proud to work with Citi to help people build stronger financial futures."

- Reassessing Fair Isaac (FICO) Valuation After A Volatile Year And Recent Share Price Rebound
May 14, 2026
Make better investment decisions with Simply Wall St's easy, visual tools that give you a competitive edge.
Fair Isaac (FICO) has drawn fresh attention after recent share price swings, with the stock down over the past year but showing a gain in the past month. Investors are reassessing growth, profitability and valuation.
See our latest analysis for Fair Isaac.
At a share price of $1,064.64, Fair Isaac has seen a 6.37% 30 day share price return, while the share price is down 35.21% year to date and the 1 year total shareholder return is down 49.92%. However, the 5 year total shareholder return of 120.07% shows long term holders have still been rewarded. Taken together, these moves indicate that investors may be reassessing how much growth and risk they are willing to price into the stock after a strong multi year run.
If Fair Isaac’s swings have you reassessing your watchlist, this is a good moment to scan the market for other software and data focused companies using the 20 top founder-led companies
With the share price well below its recent highs, and Fair Isaac still showing revenue and net income growth along with a discount to some valuation estimates, investors may wonder whether this is a buying opportunity or whether future growth is already reflected in the current price.
Most Popular Narrative: 38.4% Undervalued
Fair Isaac’s most followed valuation narrative points to a fair value of $1,728.39, well above the last close at $1,064.64, which naturally puts the spotlight on the earnings and cash flow assumptions that underpin that gap.
The ongoing transition to SaaS and cloud-based delivery, evidenced by double-digit growth in FICO Platform ARR and emphasis on conversion to next-generation AI-driven decisioning solutions, is increasing recurring revenues, supporting margin expansion and greater earnings predictability.
Read the complete narrative.
Want to see what kind of revenue runway and profit profile it takes to support that valuation gap? The narrative leans on stepped up earnings power, rising margins and a richer earnings multiple that many investors might not expect at first glance.
Result: Fair Value of $1,728.39 (UNDERVALUED)
Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts.
However, you also need to weigh risks, such as potential market share pressure from lower priced VantageScore and any sustained slowdown in Fair Isaac’s software bookings.

- Mitek Announces Strategic Partnership with Global Analytics Software Leader FICO to Strengthen Enterprise Fraud Defenses
May 13, 2026
FICO® Marketplace enables enterprises to integrate trusted identity verification into decisioning workflows to combat rising fraud
SAN DIEGO, May 13, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mitek Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MITK), a global leader in digital identity verification and fraud prevention, announced today that its Mitek Verified Identity Platform® (MiVIP) is now available on FICO® Marketplace, the industry’s first marketplace for composable enterprise decisioning offerings. The listing empowers enterprises to operationalize AI and drive better outcomes by easily discovering, accessing, and deploying a wide range of pre-built offerings, including AI models, data services and analytics. This addresses a critical need in the industry for organizations to leverage cutting edge technology while preserving their ability to work across their organization to bring together teams and differentiate their business with their own unique intellectual property and customer experiences.
As fraud tactics grow increasingly sophisticated, including AI-generated deepfakes, biometric spoofing and synthetic identity attacks, enterprises are under pressure to make faster, more confident risk decisions. Mitek’s availability in FICO Marketplace enables joint clients to bring trusted identity intelligence directly into decisioning and workflows, enabling organizations to detect fraud earlier while minimizing friction for legitimate users.
"Bringing the Mitek platform into the FICO Marketplace enables enterprises to deploy high-assurance identity verification faster and integrate trusted identity signals directly into business critical decisioning," said Garrett Gafke, chief operating officer at Mitek Systems. "As fraud threats evolve, organizations need real-time fraud and identity intelligence built into their risk workflows, not bolted on after the fact."
This integration enables enterprises using FICO® Platform to deploy advanced identity verification capabilities across critical moments in the customer lifecycle, such as digital onboarding, account recovery and ongoing authentication. By combining identity assurance with intelligent decisioning, organizations can improve fraud detection accuracy and deliver more secure digital experiences.
"Identity verification and fraud decisioning too often operate independently, and enterprises absorb the cost," said Jason Andrew, chief revenue officer at FICO. "This partnership connects Mitek's identity intelligence directly into FICO's decisioning layer through FICO Marketplace, giving enterprises the ability to translate identity assurance into faster, more confident decisions that drive better outcomes across the customer lifecycle."
Story Continues
FICO Marketplace is accessible directly within FICO Platform and enables customers to leverage a catalog of offerings from trusted and pre-vetted providers. The marketplace reshapes how organizations gain value from AI by enabling rapid discovery and deployment of data, analytics and decisioning assets that fuel intelligent decisioning and drive better business outcomes.

Why Are We Positive On FICO?
Creator of the three-digit number that can determine whether you get a mortgage or credit card, Fair Isaac Corporation (NYSE:FICO) develops analytics software and the widely used FICO Score, which is the standard measure of consumer credit risk in the United States.
1. Outstanding Long-Term EPS Growth
Analyzing the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) shows whether a company's incremental sales were profitable – for example, revenue could be inflated through excessive spending on advertising and promotions.
Fair Isaac Corporation’s EPS grew at 25.5% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years, higher than its 11.1% annualized revenue growth. This tells us the company became more profitable on a per-share basis as it expanded.Fair Isaac Corporation Trailing 12-Month EPS (Non-GAAP)
2. Excellent Free Cash Flow Margin Boosts Reinvestment Potential
If you’ve followed StockStory for a while, you know we emphasize free cash flow. Why, you ask? We believe that in the end, cash is king, and you can’t use accounting profits to pay the bills.
Fair Isaac Corporation has shown terrific cash profitability, enabling it to reinvest, return capital to investors, and stay ahead of the competition while maintaining an ample cushion. The company’s free cash flow margin was among the best in the business services sector, averaging an eye-popping 34% over the last five years.Fair Isaac Corporation Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin
3. New Investments Bear Fruit as ROIC Jumps
A company’s ROIC, or return on invested capital, shows how much operating profit it makes compared to the money it has raised (debt and equity).
We like to invest in businesses with high returns, but the trend in a company’s ROIC is what often surprises the market and moves the stock price. Fair Isaac Corporation’s ROIC has increased significantly over the last few years. This is a great sign when paired with its already strong returns. It could suggest its competitive advantage or profitable growth opportunities are expanding.Fair Isaac Corporation Trailing 12-Month Return On Invested Capital

- Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) Fell on AI Disruption Concerns
May 12, 2026
Jensen Investment Management, an asset management company based in the US, released its first-quarter 2025 investor letter for the “Jensen Quality Mid Cap Fund”. A copy of the letter is available to download here. The Jensen Quality Mid Cap Fund aims for long-term growth. The Fund returned -2.53% in Q1 2026, lagging the 0.60% return for the MSCI US Mid Cap 450 Index. Mid-cap stocks were flat in the quarter due to inflation, war, high energy prices, and cautious consumer spending. Rapid AI investment growth impacted the Index, boosting some stocks but hurting others, especially software and business services stocks facing AI disruption concerns. Energy stocks surged after the Iran War, challenging performance. The fund's process focuses on high-quality companies with a 15%+ ROE for ten years, indicating sustained advantages. Quarterly performance benefited from underweights in the Financials and Communications Services and higher exposure to the Industrials sector, while underweight exposure in the Energy and Utilities sectors and overweight in Consumer Discretionary hurt performance. Please review the Fund’s top five holdings to gain insights into their key selections for 2026.
In its first-quarter 2026 investor letter, Jensen Quality Mid Cap Fund highlighted stocks like Fair Isaac Corporation (NYSE:FICO). Fair Isaac Corporation (NYSE:FICO) is a technology company that develops analytic, software, and digital decision-making technologies and services. The one-month return of Fair Isaac Corporation (NYSE:FICO) was 8.41%, and its shares lost 48.88% of their value over the last 52 weeks. On May 11, 2026, Fair Isaac Corporation (NYSE:FICO) stock closed at $1,092.00 per share, with a market capitalization of $25.32 billion.
Jensen Quality Mid Cap Fund stated the following regarding Fair Isaac Corporation (NYSE:FICO) in its Q1 2026 investor letter:
"Other notable detractors from quarterly performance included Fair Isaac Corporation (NYSE:FICO) and Equifax, Inc. (EFX). Fair Isaac Corporation is the owner and licensor of the ubiquitous FICO credit score used in lending decisions, and Equifax is a provider of credit, income, and employment data to lenders, social services agencies, and hiring personnel. We believe both stocks underperformed primarily due to investor concerns about potential AI disruption. FICO’s stock was also likely impacted by the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s recent decision to allow VantageScore, a competing credit score, to be used in underwriting mortgages sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. We believe investor concerns related to scoring models are due to the technological costs associated with transitioning to a new model, as well as the comfort they have developed with the FICO score’s ability to predict defaults over decades and across various credit cycles."
