FICO is cutting about 15% of its workforce, roughly 570 jobs, following a regulatory change that ended its exclusive use on the mortgage pricing grid by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This change allows lenders to use VantageScore alongside FICO, leading to a sharp drop in FICO's stock price by 58% this year despite revenue growth. The company faces pricing pressure as competitors offer cheaper credit scores, impacting its most profitable mortgage segment. FICO's future depends on how well it can maintain pricing power amid increased competition and evolving lender preferences.
