FICO Stock Tracking Worst Day in Over a Year After Downside Guidance -- Barrons.com

By Janet H. Cho

Shares of FICO were falling on Thursday afternoon after the global analytics software company issued lower-than-expected guidance.

The company, formerly known as Fair Isaac, was down 16.9%, to $1,140.69 a share shortly after noon Eastern Time. The stock is pacing its worst day in more than a year, and is one of the day's worst performers in the S&P 500, according to Dow Jones Market Data.

For the third quarter of fiscal 2026, the company on Wednesday posted better-than-expected adjusted earnings of $12.18 a share versus consensus expectations for $11.76 a share. It said revenue jumped 26% from the year-ago quarter, to $674.2 million, but below consensus estimates for $679.2 million.

But investors were focused more on FICO's full-year guidance, including adjusted earnings of $42.43 a share, up from $40.45 a share previously, but below the $43.09-a-share consensus.

It projected full-year revenue of $2.53 billion, up from its prior guidance of $2.45 billion, but below consensus expectations of $2.56 billion.

CEO Will Lansing said the company raised its full-year guidance after delivering "another quarter of strong performance, driven by the successful execution of our strategic priorities."
