FICO is trading at $1,014.86, down 4.56% today, extending a sharp sell-off triggered by Senator Josh Hawley’s formal investigation into the company’s potential monopoly pricing power.

  • Hawley’s probe highlights FICO's 88% operating margins and a 100% compound annual growth rate in per-score pricing over five years, urging the FTC to investigate the impact on homebuyer affordability.
  • The regulatory scrutiny adds to mounting pressure from competitor VantageScore and potential Federal Housing Finance Agency actions intended to reduce mortgage scoring costs.
