From 23 valuation models · updated 22 days ago

Share price −20.6% over the past month.

A solid business, but screening 61% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($531.72). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (68/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
  • A fairly wide model range ($268.31 to $531.72) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) currently trades at $1,032, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $400.01, implying the stock looks roughly 61.2% overvalued today. We read business quality at 68/100 (solid quality), in the Technology sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).

Over the trailing twelve months, Fair Isaac Corporation generated revenue of $2.3B at a net margin of 33.7%. Revenue grew 38.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 35.6%. Net debt stands at $2.9B. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $268.31 (bear case) to $531.72 (bull case); at $1,032, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 48% below its 52-week high and 19% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -27% fair-value upside, at -61%, FICO screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
