On September 4, Fair Isaac fell 5.51% in pre-market trading, trading at $1,060.00 per share with turnover of $909,500, extending its recent downtrend.
The decline follows persistent selling pressure triggered by the company's fiscal Q3 results and below-consensus guidance. While adjusted EPS of $12.18 beat the $11.73 estimate by 3.75%, revenue of $674.2 million fell short of the $678.9 million consensus. More critically, full-year revenue guidance of $2.53 billion came in below the Street estimate of $2.56 billion, prompting a wave of target price cuts. Since late July, multiple banks have lowered targets: RBC cut to $1,525 from $2,400, Barclays to $1,700 from $1,950, BMO Capital to $1,550 from $1,700, UBS to $1,130 from $1,200, Rothschild & Co Redburn to $1,224 from $1,293, and HSBC to $696 from $707. The concentrated downgrades have intensified selling pressure on the stock.
