Factors to Note
FICO’s fiscal second-quarter performance is expected to have benefited from the strong adoption of the FICO Platform and FICO Score. Its growing clientele has been a key catalyst, driving top-line growth. In first-quarter fiscal 2024, revenues increased 10.8% year over year, with Software and Scores revenues increasing 13.8% and 7.9%, respectively.
FICO’s analytics and digital decisioning technology are helping its clients fight financial crime. Globally, banks are recognizing the potency of Fair Isaac’s offerings to combat financial crime.
Fair Isaac’s focus on strengthening the effectiveness of the FICO platform has been noteworthy. Earlier this year, it announced more than 20 enhancements to the FICO platform that allow enterprises to integrate data and analytics into operational decision-making strategies. This is expected to further boost the adoption rate.
Fair Isaac is benefiting from the strong adoption of its FICO Scores. Expanding usage of FICO Score 10 and 10T benefits top-line growth.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal second-quarter 2024 Scores revenues are pegged at $223 million, indicating 12.06% year-over-year growth. The consensus mark for fiscal second-quarter 2024 software revenues is pegged at $206 million.
The consensus mark for second-quarter fiscal 2024 on-premises and SaaS software revenues is pegged at $181 million, indicating 16.8% year-over-year growth.
