Richie Capital Group made the following comment about Fair Isaac Corporation (NYSE:FICO) in its Q4 2022 investor letter:

Fair Isaac Corporation (NYSE:FICO) (FICO up 45.3%) – The analytic software and data decision technology company continued to fire on all cylinders. FICO reported earnings growth across all metrics and raised guidance. The company is growing revenue faster than expenses, and their capital allocation strategy is focused on reducing share count to such an extent that EPS growth exceeds income growth. Additionally, in light of the slowing real estate market, the company has limited mortgage exposure. Mortgage origination accounts for only 11% of Scores revenue, 5% of total company revenue, and less than 20% of operating profit.”
