Fair Isaac Corporation (NYSE:FICO) is one of the best depressed stocks to buy in 2025. On August 4, BMO Capital reiterated its ‘Outperform’ rating on the stock but reduced the price target to $1,650 from $1,800. The price target adjustment follows an expert event by Clayton Dukes, a former senior employee, on August 1.

The former employee shared key industry dynamics and presented a more pessimistic view, which forced BMO Capital to alter its price target on Fair Isaac. According to Dukes, the emergence of a duopoly in the credit rating industry presents significant risks. The former employee is wary of flat pricing for the company as a result of the following year.

Consequently, BMO Capital reiterated its ‘Outperform’ rating but cut the price target to account for potential market shifts over time. The positive stance underscores the research firm’s continued confidence in the company’s performance and long-term prospects.
