Fair Isaac Corp's stock fell 26% after the FHFA announced that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will adopt a unified mortgage pricing grid for both FICO and VantageScore credit scores. This change means borrowers with VantageScore of 780 or higher will qualify for the top mortgage pricing band, removing the previous 20-point disadvantage compared to FICO scores. The move gives lenders a cheaper scoring option, as VantageScore costs about $0.99 per score versus roughly $10 for FICO, potentially impacting Fair Isaac's market share in mortgage scoring.
