During FICO's second quarter earnings call on April 28, 2026, CEO William J. Lansing noted the company "anticipate[d] no loss of volume to Vantage in this fiscal year," and "don't see good reasons [for customers] to switch [to Vantage]."
SueWallSt notifies investors of a pending investigation into potential securities law violations. The investigation focuses on whether FICO investors received adequate information about regulatory risk to the Company's mortgage scoring business.

Frequently Asked Questions About the FICO Investigation
Q: Who is eligible to participate in the FICO investigation? A: Investors who purchased FICO stock or securities and suffered financial losses may be eligible. Eligibility is based on purchase date and documented losses -- not on whether you still hold the shares.
Q: How much did FICO stock drop? A: Shares fell more than 20% by the time the market opened on September 29, 2026, and by midday the stock had fallen more than 25% from the previous day's closing price. The drop followed the Federal Housing Finance Agency's announcement that it would simplify mortgage pricing and could allow a competing credit score into mortgage underwriting. Investors who purchased FICO shares and suffered losses may be eligible to seek recovery.
Q: Which statements are being investigated as potentially misleading? A: The investigation concerns whether Fair Isaac Corporation made materially false or misleading statements regarding regulatory and competitive risks facing its mortgage credit scoring business. When the FHFA announced the move to a single pricing grid, the stock price declined sharply.
Q: What do FICO investors need to do right now? A: Investors may gather brokerage records showing purchase dates, share quantities, and prices paid. Submit your information for a no-cost, no-obligation evaluation of your potential recovery . No immediate action is required to remain eligible to participate in the investigation.
Q: What is a lead plaintiff and why does it matter? A: If the investigation proceeds to legal action, a lead plaintiff is the investor the court appoints to represent the group of affected investors. Lead plaintiffs are typically investors with the largest documented losses.
Q: What if I already sold my FICO shares -- can I still recover losses? A: Yes. Eligibility is based on when you purchased, not whether you still hold the shares. Investors who bought FICO and sold at a loss may still participate in the investigation.
Q: What does it cost me to participate? A: There is no upfront cost to submit your information and review whether you may be eligible to recover. Should you choose to participate in any resulting action, these matters are generally handled on a contingency basis. Any attorneys' fees and expenses are subject to court approval.
Q: Do I need to go to court or give testimony? A: No. Participating in the investigation does not require court appearances or depositions. If legal action is later pursued, the overwhelming majority of affected investors never appear in court either.
