FICO
A little less Fair Isaac in the mix
KBC Group NV just trimmed its Fair Isaac stake by 33.6%, unloading 7,815 shares and leaving it with 15,413 shares worth about $26.06 million. That’s the kind of filing that doesn’t scream “panic,” but it does whisper, “maybe we’d like a smaller helping of this one.”
Why you should care
For a stock like FICO, which already gets a lot of attention because of its pricing power and chunky valuation, even routine institutional trimming can get airtime. It doesn’t mean the roof is on fire. But it does add one more data point for investors trying to figure out whether the market has already priced in the good stuff.
The bigger FICO backdrop
The article also reminds readers that Fair Isaac recently:
- reported quarterly EPS of $7.33, topping estimates
- posted revenue of $766 million, well above the Street’s guess
- approved a $1.5 billion buyback, which management says signals the stock may be undervalued
- guided FY2026 EPS to 38.17
That’s a lot of sturdy-looking company basics wrapped around a simple portfolio shuffle. So yes, KBC sold. But FICO’s story is still mostly about whether its lofty expectations can keep getting cleared without the stock tripping over its own price tag.
Big picture: one fund trimming doesn’t rewrite the FICO thesis, but it’s a good reminder that even beloved compounders can look a little crowded when everyone shows up for the same ride.
