On September 29, Fair Isaac declined 9.05% overnight, trading at $760.00/share, with turnover of $32,800. The stock has now fallen over 30% in September alone, with year-to-date losses approaching 50%.

On the news front, FHFA Director Bill Pulte announced that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will adopt a unified pricing table, the latest in a series of regulatory actions dismantling FICO's longstanding monopoly in mortgage credit scoring. Earlier in September, Pulte formally directed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to permit all lenders to use the VantageScore credit scoring system, and subsequently mandated that all securitization products issued by the two agencies adopt a dual-score framework incorporating both VantageScore and FICO. Pulte also publicly accused FICO of inflating per-person credit score acquisition costs by 1,800% since 2020 and demanded competitive pricing.

While Raymond James analysts noted in late July that most lenders appear to be running both FICO and VantageScore simultaneously rather than replacing FICO entirely, the accelerating regulatory push to level the competitive landscape continues to pressure the stock significantly.
