MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Should I Buy Fair Isaac Stock? FICO Pros and Cons Explained

These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights. They were last updated on Wednesday, September 2, 2026. Please send any questions or comments about these Fair Isaac pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

Fair Isaac
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Fair Isaac Co.:

Fair Isaac Co. recently reported strong financial performance for the quarter ended July 29, 2026, with earnings per share of $12.18, which beat the consensus estimate of $11.76 by $0.42. This indicates that the company is generating higher profits than analysts expected, which can be a positive signal for future earnings growth and stock price appreciation.
The company has demonstrated robust revenue growth, with revenue of $674.19 million for the most recent quarter, representing a 25.7% increase compared to the same quarter last year. This significant year-over-year growth suggests that Fair Isaac Co. is successfully expanding its business and capturing more market share in the data analytics and software sector.
Institutional investors are showing renewed interest in the stock, with several major funds adding to their positions in the second quarter of 2026. For example, Van ECK Associates Corp increased its holdings by 95.0%, and Spyglass Capital Management LLC increased its position by 33.0%. This influx of institutional capital often signals confidence in the company's long-term prospects and can drive up demand for the stock.
Fair Isaac Co. has a high approval rating for its CEO, William Lansing, at 0.89 out of 1.0 as of August 2024. A high CEO approval rating can indicate effective leadership and strategic direction, which are crucial for navigating the competitive technology landscape and driving shareholder value.
The stock is currently trading at $1,097.74, which is below the average analyst target price of $1,553.69. This suggests that the stock may be undervalued relative to its potential, offering investors an opportunity to buy at a discount to what analysts believe it is worth.

Fair Isaac
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Fair Isaac Co. for these reasons:

The stock has experienced a significant decline from its 52-week high of $1,998.01 to its current price of $1,097.74. This substantial drop indicates that the market has been re-evaluating the company's valuation, and investors may be concerned about the sustainability of its previous growth or profitability.
Fair Isaac Co. has a high price-to-earnings ratio of 31.71, which is above the average for many technology companies. This high P/E ratio suggests that the stock is expensive relative to its earnings, and investors may be paying a premium for future growth that may not materialize, increasing the risk of a price correction.
The company has a negative return on equity of 32.51% for the most recent quarter. A negative ROE indicates that the company is not efficiently using its equity to generate profits, which can be a red flag for investors looking for companies with strong financial health and efficient capital allocation.
Insider selling has been a recurring theme, with several directors and executives selling shares in recent months. For example, Director Eva Manolis sold 967 shares on July 29, 2026, and CEO William Lansing sold 2,400 shares on November 10, 2025. While insider sales can be due to personal financial needs, a pattern of selling can signal a lack of confidence in the stock's future performance.
The stock has a high beta of 1.32, indicating that it is more volatile than the overall market. This means that Fair Isaac Co. is likely to experience larger price swings in response to market movements, which can be risky for investors who prefer stability and lower volatility in their portfolios.
