1. What’s moving the stock
Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) is trading higher as investors digest a strong fiscal second-quarter 2026 update and a higher full-year outlook. In results released April 28, 2026, FICO reported Q2 revenue of $691.7 million, up 39% from the prior-year quarter, and GAAP EPS of $11.14, up from $6.59 a year earlier.

2. The key numbers behind the rally
The biggest acceleration came from FICO’s Scores segment, where revenue rose to $475.0 million from $297.0 million, a 60% increase. FICO said B2B Scores revenue increased 72%, driven primarily by a higher mortgage origination scores unit price and higher mortgage origination volumes, while B2C Scores revenue increased 5% due mainly to higher indirect-channel partner revenue. Software revenue grew 7% year over year to $216.7 million, and the company reported total software dollar-based net retention of 109% as of March 31, 2026.

The next scheduled catalyst is management’s presentation at the Barclays Americas Select Conference on May 5, 2026, where investors will be listening for incremental details on pricing, mortgage-related scoring demand, and the trajectory of software recurring revenue.
