Fair Isaac Corp. (ISIN US3032501047) stock is trading at $1,160.95 as of August 23, 2026, keeping the company’s market value above $25 billion while investors weigh a higher full year 2026 outlook.
Shares consolidate after recent range
Recent market data show Fair Isaac shares moving in a wide intraday range on August 23, 2026, between a low of $1,141.17 and a high of $1,188.80, with the stock closing at $1,160.95.
That closing level places the stock 1.7% above the day’s low and 2.3% below the intraday high, indicating consolidation rather than a sharp breakout or selloff.
Based on this quote, Fair Isaac’s market capitalization stands at $25.31 billion, underscoring how much value investors currently assign to the company’s data analytics and decisioning software franchise.
Guidance raised for 2026 revenue and profit
On July 29, 2026, Fair Isaac updated its full year 2026 guidance and lifted its revenue outlook to $2.53 billion.
In the same update, the company raised its forecast for GAAP net income to $850 million for full year 2026, signaling confidence in margin durability despite ongoing investment in its platform.
Compared with a prior, lower outlook that had pointed to a smaller top line and profit base, the new guidance implies a stronger 2026 performance trajectory, though the exact percentage increase depends on the earlier figures.
For investors, the standout number is that Fair Isaac now expects to generate well over two billion dollars in revenue and hundreds of millions of dollars in net income in 2026, aligning its financial ambitions with the growing demand for advanced scoring and decisioning tools.
Analyst consensus supports valuation
Recent coverage indicates that the stock carries an average rating described as a moderate buy, with a consensus target price of $1,553.69.
When set against the recent opening level of $1,174.20 on the latest trading session referenced in that coverage, this target implies upside of roughly one third if the company executes on its guidance and sentiment remains constructive.
The same data show Fair Isaac stock edging higher at the open, reinforcing that the market has been willing to support the shares around the $1,170 area following the guidance increase.
For investors, the combination of a multi-billion dollar revenue outlook and a consensus target materially above the current quote suggests that the market still sees room for growth, even after a strong multiyear run.
FICO Score and decisioning software remain core
Fair Isaac’s best-known offering is the FICO Score, a credit scoring system embedded across lending workflows and widely used by banks and other financial institutions to assess consumer credit risk.
The company also sells decision management software and analytics platforms that help clients in financial services, telecommunications, insurance, and other industries automate complex decisions, detect fraud, and manage portfolios more effectively.
These solutions generate recurring software and services revenue, which underpins the company’s ability to target $2.53 billion in full year 2026 revenue and supports the higher net income guidance.
Stock level and investor view
As of August 23, 2026, at the close of the most recent trading session, Fair Isaac stock trades at $1,160.95 on its primary U.S. listing, with that price level framing the discussion of upside versus the consensus target.
