AI Narrative Drives Volatility at FICO
FICO is treated as an AI bet with valuation risk, not a steady compounder. The business is strong—44% operating margin—but the stock swings hard on every narrative or regulatory update. 42% volatility is high for a company like this. One weak AI update and the rerating could be brutal.
