Strategic Profile

The FICO Score, used by 90% of top U.S. lenders, is the standard measure of consumer credit risk in the U.S. and has been made available in over 40 other countries. Strong performance is attributed to robust demand for FICO's analytics and decision management solutions, particularly in the mortgage origination sector. In June 2026, the Board approved a $2.0 billion stock repurchase program, and the company drew a $1.5 billion incremental term loan.
