Fair Isaac shares sink 20% as Fannie and Freddie back rival credit score
Original: Fair Isaac stock plunges 20% after Fannie and Freddie open door to FICO credit score rival
Fair Isaac Corporation, maker of the FICO credit score, saw its stock plunge roughly 20% after mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac announced they will allow lenders to use a competing credit score. The move threatens FICO's long-standing dominance in the mortgage market, where its scores are the standard for loan underwriting, raising fears of lost revenue and pricing pressure.
Why now: Regulators and Fannie and Freddie opening the mortgage market to a FICO competitor directly threatens Fair Isaac's core business, triggering a sharp selloff.
