Fair Isaac остаётся высокомаржинальным и очень прибыльным бизнесом, но рынок уже закладывает в цену почти идеальное качество. Выручка выросла до 692 млн, а валовая, операционная и чистая маржа удерживаются на выдающемся уровне 84.18%, 50.35% и 33.64%, что говорит о сильной ценовой власти и эффективности модели. При этом EBITDA, операционная прибыль и чистая прибыль заметно выросли по сравнению с предыдущими периодами, а EPS также остаётся очень высоким, что поддерживает фундаментальную оценку. ROA и ROI выглядят исключительно сильными и продолжают улучшаться, что подтверждает высокую отдачу на активы и капитал. Однако оценка по мультипликаторам остаётся напряжённой: P/S, P/FCF и особенно P/B находятся существенно выше отраслевых медиан, а это ограничивает потенциал переоценки. P/E сейчас ближе к медиане, но исторически он был заметно выше, что показывает частичное охлаждение, а не полноценную дешевизну. Долговая нагрузка вызывает осторожность: долгосрочный долг и общие обязательства растут, а собственный капитал остаётся отрицательным, что делает баланс менее комфортным, чем у компаний с сопоставимой рентабельностью. Ликвидность по current ratio улучшилась, но quick ratio остаётся слабым по представленным данным, поэтому запас прочности нельзя считать безусловно высоким. Дивидендная доходность почти нулевая, поэтому инвестиционный кейс строится не на доходе, а на росте и качестве бизнеса. В целом фундаментал сильный, но высокая абсолютная оценка и рост обязательств сдерживают апсайд. Для целевой цены это скорее умеренно негативный сигнал: бизнес качественный, но текущая цена уже отражает большую часть его преимуществ.

S&P 500 Movers: FICO, INTC

Key Points
Upstart developed an AI algorithm that analyzes potential borrowers to determine their credit-worthiness.
The company is on track to generate a record amount of revenue in 2026, and management is bullish about 2027 and 2028.
Upstart stock is trading at an attractive valuation, and I predict it could double before this year is over.
Upstart Holdings (NASDAQ: UPST) developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered algorithm that analyzes more than 2,500 data points to determine the credit-worthiness of a potential borrower. The algorithm gradually becomes more predictive as it ingests more data, further increasing its edge over traditional assessment methods that have relied on Fair Isaac's FICO credit scoring system for the past 30 years.
Upstart isn't a lender. Instead, it uses its algorithm to originate loans, which are then sold to its funding partners, mainly banks. This business model is capital-light, which is why the company is generally quite profitable despite the early-stage nature of its business.
Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue »
Upstart stock is down by 33% this year as investors worry the sharp spike in oil prices -- caused by the conflict in Iran -- will hit household budgets and reduce demand for credit. I used this as a buying opportunity and scooped up a few shares for my portfolio in March. Here's why I think there's room for the stock to double before 2026 is over.
AI is taking lending into a new era
Upstart originates unsecured personal loans, car loans, and home equity lines of credit (HELOCs). The company originated 425,356 loans during the first quarter of 2026, which was up 77% from the year-ago period.
Thanks to Upstart's AI-powered approach, it can approve or deny applications practically instantly, whereas it would take a human assessor days or even weeks to analyze an equivalent amount of data on each prospective borrower. Plus, during the first quarter, 91% of funded (approved) loans were fully automated using AI, meaning they didn't require any human intervention.
Personal loans are Upstart's bread and butter, accounting for the majority of its originations. But its HELOC and automotive segments grew by 250% and 300%, respectively, during the first quarter, so they are quickly becoming significant pieces of the business. For customers who want a HELOC, Upstart can take them from the application phase to the signing phase in just six days, which is much faster than the industry average of 40 days. Therefore, I expect this will be a very lucrative market for the company in the long run.
At Upstart's AI day meeting last year, Executive Chairman Dave Girouard said AI could replace all human-driven credit assessment processes within the next decade. More than $25 trillion in loans is originated worldwide across all categories every year, generating a whopping $1 trillion in fee income, so this is an enormous opportunity for Upstart.
Upstart is on track for a record year
Upstart generated a record $308 million in revenue during the first quarter, representing 44% growth from the year-ago period. The company had a net loss of $6.6 million on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis due to a sharp increase in operating expenses, as management invested aggressively in growth. It was the only loss in the past four quarters, so this isn't the norm.
Besides, after excluding one-off and noncash expenses, Upstart actually delivered $40 million in adjusted (non-GAAP) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) during the quarter, which is the company's preferred measure of profitability.
Upstart is forecasting $1.4 billion in revenue during 2026, which would be a record. But it gets better, because management thinks revenue could grow at a compound annual rate of 35% through 2028, which would result in more than $2.5 billion in revenue that year.
Here's why I think Upstart could double by the end of 2026
Based on Upstart's trailing-12-month revenue of $1.1 billion, its stock is trading at a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 2.6. That is a steep discount to its three-year average of 5.7, suggesting the stock is undervalued right now.
Moreover, if we assume Upstart generates $1.4 billion in revenue this year as expected, then its forward P/S ratio is just 1.9.
That means Upstart stock would have to climb by 36% by the end of this year just to maintain its current P/S ratio, and it would have to soar by a whopping 200% to trade in line with its three-year average P/S ratio of 5.7. I think the likely outcome will be somewhere in between, which is why I feel the stock could double.
I intend to hold this stock for the long term, because if AI does take over credit assessment on a global scale, then Upstart will be staring down the barrel of a trillion-dollar annual revenue opportunity. Capturing even a fraction of the market could lead to blistering returns for shareholders.

This shift makes FICO’s mortgage revenue more dependent on loan conversion rates and housing-market cycles.

Noteworthy Monday Option Activity: STZ, XYZ, FICO

The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) on Wednesday closed down -0.04%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DOWI) (DIA) closed down -0.57%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) closed up +0.58%. June E-mini S&P futures (ESM26) fell -0.07%, and June E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQM26) rose +0.50%.
Stock indexes settled mixed on Wednesday, with the Dow Jones Industrials falling to a 1.5-week low. Soaring crude oil prices boosted inflation expectations and bond yields, and were negative for stocks. WTI crude oil surged to a 3-week high on Wednesday after the US signaled it will maintain its naval blockade of Iran for the foreseeable future. The Wall Street Journal reported that President Trump told his aides to prepare for an extended blockade and that it carries less of a risk for the US than resuming hostilities or walking away from the conflict without securing a deal that curbs Iran’s nuclear activities.

The broader market came under pressure on Wednesday after three FOMC members dissented in favor of no easing bias in the FOMC ‘s decision to keep policy unchanged. Also, hawkish comments from Fed Chair Powell weighed on stocks, as he said a bit of monetary policy restraint is the right place to be. The 10-year T-note yield rose +6 bp to a 1-month high of 4.41%.
The Nasdaq 100 moved higher on Wednesday as technology stocks rallied on signs that demand for AI infrastructure remains strong. NXP Semiconductors NV rose +25%, and Seagate Technology Holdings Plc rose by more than +10% to lead chipmakers and AI infrastructure stocks higher after reporting stronger-than-expected earnings results. The markets are awaiting earnings from four of the Magnificent Seven technology stocks after Wednesday’s close, as Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta Platforms will report quarterly results.
Wednesday’s US housing starts and core capital goods new orders reports were better than expected, a supportive factor for stocks.
US MBA mortgage applications fell -1.6% in the week ended April 24, with the purchase mortgage sub-index up +1.2% and the refinancing sub-index down -4.4%. The average 30-year fixed rate mortgage rose by +2 bp to 6.37% from 6.35% in the prior week.
US Mar housing starts unexpectedly rose +10.8% m/m to a 15-month high of 1.502 million, stronger than expectations of a decline to 1.380 million. Mar building permits, a proxy for future construction, fell -10.8% m/m to a 7-month low of 1.372 million, weaker than expectations of 1.390 million.
US Mar capital goods new orders nondefense ex-aircraft and parts, a proxy for capital spending, rose +3.3% m/m, stronger than expectations of +0.5% m/m and the largest increase in 5.75 years.
WTI crude oil prices (CLM26) soared by more than +6% on Wednesday as the US and Iran are locked in a battle for control of the Strait of Hormuz, with both sides blocking the waterway to gain leverage during an extended ceasefire. The Strait of Hormuz remains essentially closed, threatening to deepen the global energy crisis, as flows of crude, natural gas, and oil products from the Persian Gulf have been cut off since the war began in late February. Crude prices raced to their highs on Wednesday after President Trump told Axios that he will not lift a naval blockade of Iran's ports until he secures a deal with Iran to address the country's nuclear program. The ongoing blockade could exacerbate global oil and fuel shortages, as about a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas transits through the strait. Goldman Sachs estimates that crude output in the Persian Gulf has been curtailed by about 14.5 million bpd, or more than 50%, so far in April, and that the current disruption has drawn down nearly 500 million bbl from global crude stockpiles, which could hit a billion bbl by June.
As expected, the FOMC kept the fed funds target rate unchanged at 3.50% to 3.75%. The vote was 8-4 in favor of the decision, with Fed Governor Miran dissenting in favor of a -25 bp rate cut. Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack, Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari, and Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan said they "supported maintaining the target range for the federal funds rate but did not support inclusion of an easing bias in the statement at this time."
The post-meeting statement said, "Developments in the Middle East are contributing to a high level of uncertainty." Also, "job gains have remained low, on average," and the jobless rate "has been little changed in recent months, while inflation "is elevated, in part reflecting the recent increase in global energy prices."
Fed Chair Powell said policymakers think the policy stance is in a very good place to wait, as inflation is kind of misbehaving, and that maybe a little bit of restriction in monetary policy is the right place to be.
Kevin Warsh won the banking confirmation vote of the Senate Banking Committee on Wednesday, putting him on track to be confirmed as Fed Chair by the full Senate before Jerome Powell’s term ends on May 15. Fed Chair Powell said after Wednesday’s FOMC meeting that he will continue to serve as Fed Governor “for a period of time to be determined.” Mr. Powell’s seat on the Board of Governors doesn’t expire until 2028.
The markets are discounting a 0% chance for a +25 bp FOMC rate cut or a rate hike at the next FOMC meeting on June 16-17.
Earnings season ramps up this week with several Magnificent Seven technology stocks reporting. Earnings results thus far have been supportive of stocks. As of Wednesday, 81% of the 220 S&P 500 companies that reported Q1 earnings have beaten estimates. Q1 S&P 500 earnings are projected to climb +12% y/y, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. Stripping out the technology sector, Q1 earnings are projected to increase around +3%, the weakest in two years.
Overseas stock markets settled mixed on Wednesday. The Euro Stoxx 50 fell to a 3-week low and closed down -0.34%. China's Shanghai Composite closed up +0.71%. Japan's Nikkei Stock Average did not trade, as markets in Japan were closed for the Showa Day holiday.
Interest Rates
June 10-year T-notes (ZNM6) on Wednesday closed down -16 ticks. The 10-year T-note yield rose +5.5 bp to 4.4010%. Jun T-notes fell to a 4-week low, and the 10-year T-note yield rose to a 1-month high of 4.430%. T-notes were under pressure on Thursday amid rising crude oil prices, as WTI surged more than +6% to a 32-week high, boosting inflation expectations. The 10-year breakeven inflation rate rose to 1 14.5-month high of 2.479% on Wednesday. T-notes were also pressured by stronger-than-expected US economic reports on Mar housing starts and Mar core capital goods new orders.
T-notes sank to their lows on Wednesday afternoon after three FOMC members dissented in favor of a no-easing bias in the committee’s policy decision. Also, Fed Chair Powell said a little bit of restriction in monetary policy is the right place to be.
European government bond yields moved higher on Wednesday. The 10-year German bund yield rose to a 1-month high of 3.118% and finished up +4.3 bp to 3.110%. The 10-year UK gilt yield climbed to a 1-month high of 5.078% and finished up +6.5 bp to 5.071%.
Eurozone Apr economic confidence fell -3.2 to a nearly 5.5-year low of 93.0, weaker than expectations of 95.1.
Eurozone Mar M3 money supply rose +3.2% y/y, stronger than expectations of +3.1% y/y.
Swaps are discounting a 12% chance of a +25 bp ECB rate hike at its next policy meeting on Thursday.

Stocks Settle Mixed Ahead of Megacap Tech Earnings

The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) today is down -0.36%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DOWI) (DIA) is down -0.78%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) is up +0.09%. June E-mini S&P futures (ESM26) are down -0.28%, and June E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQM26) are up +0.27%.
Stock indexes are mixed today, with the Dow Jones Industrials falling to a 1.5-week low. Soaring crude oil prices are lifting inflation expectations and bond yields and are negative for stocks. WTI crude oil climbed to a 2-week high today after the US signaled it will maintain its naval blockade of Iran for the foreseeable future. The Wall Street Journal reported that President Trump told his aides to prepare for an extended blockade and that it carries less of a risk for the US than resuming hostilities or walking away from the conflict without securing a deal that curbs Iran’s nuclear activities. The 10-year T-note yield is up +5 bp to a 4-week high of 4.40%.

The Nasdaq 100 is higher today as technology stocks climb on signs that demand for AI infrastructure remains strong. NXP Semiconductors NV and Seagate Technology Holdings Plc are up more than +14% to lead chipmakers and AI infrastructure stocks higher after reporting stronger-than-expected earnings results. The markets are awaiting earnings from four of the Magnificent Seven technology stocks after the close today, as Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta Platforms will report quarterly results.
Today’s US housing starts and core capital goods new orders reports were better than expected, a supportive factor for stocks.
US MBA mortgage applications fell -1.6% in the week ended April 24, with the purchase mortgage sub-index up +1.2% and the refinancing sub-index down -4.4%. The average 30-year fixed rate mortgage rose by +2 bp to 6.37% from 6.35% in the prior week.
US Mar housing starts unexpectedly rose +10.8% m/m to a 15-month high of 1.502 million, stronger than expectations of a decline to 1.380 million. Mar building permits, a proxy for future construction, fell -10.8% m/m to a 7-month low of 1.372 million, weaker than expectations of 1.390 million.
US Mar capital goods new orders nondefense ex-aircraft and parts, a proxy for capital spending, rose +3.3% m/m, stronger than expectations of +0.5% m/m and the largest increase in 5.75 years.
WTI crude oil prices (CLM26) are up by more than +5% today as the US and Iran are locked in a battle for control of the Strait of Hormuz, with both sides blocking the waterway to gain leverage during an extended ceasefire. The Strait of Hormuz remains essentially closed, threatening to deepen the global energy crisis, as flows of crude, natural gas, and oil products from the Persian Gulf have been cut off since the war began in late February. The ongoing blockade could exacerbate global oil and fuel shortages, as about a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas transits through the strait. Goldman Sachs estimates that crude output in the Persian Gulf has been curtailed by about 14.5 million bpd, or more than 50%, so far in April, and that the current disruption has drawn down nearly 500 million bbl from global crude stockpiles, which could hit a billion bbl by June.
The 2-day FOMC meeting concludes this afternoon, and the Fed kept monetary policy unchanged as expected, despite a record number of dissenting votes. The markets will look to Fed Chair Powell's post-meeting comments for guidance on the future direction of Fed policy. Today’s FOMC meeting is the last for Mr. Powell as Fed Chair, as his term expires on May 15.
Kevin Warsh now appears to be on a glide path toward Senate approval as the new Fed Chair after Senator Thom Tillis said on Sunday that he dropped his opposition to the nomination. Mr. Tillis dropped his opposition after the US Justice Department dropped its criminal investigation into the Fed’s overspending on the renovation of its building, in line with Mr. Tillis’ demand. Mr. Tillis views the investigation into Fed Chair Powell as an attempt to force the Fed to cut interest rates. The Senate Banking Committee is due to vote on Mr. Warsh’s appointment today and then send the nomination to the full Senate for a vote.
The markets are discounting a 0% chance for a +25 bp FOMC rate hike at the conclusion of today’s policy meeting. The markets are expecting the FOMC to leave policy unchanged this week as it awaits further developments in oil prices and inflation.
Earnings season ramps up this week with several Magnificent Seven technology stocks reporting. Earnings results thus far have been supportive of stocks. As of today, 80% of the 199 S&P 500 companies that reported Q1 earnings have beaten estimates. Q1 S&P 500 earnings are projected to climb +12% y/y, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. Stripping out the technology sector, Q1 earnings are projected to increase around +3%, the weakest in two years.
Overseas stock markets are mixed today. The Euro Stoxx 50 fell to a 3-week low and is down -0.33%. China's Shanghai Composite closed up +0.71%. Japan's Nikkei Stock Average did not trade, as markets in Japan were closed for the Showa Day holiday.
Interest Rates
June 10-year T-notes (ZNM6) today are down -9 ticks. The 10-year T-note yield is up +4.4 bp to 4.390%. Jun T-notes fell to a 4-week low, and the 10-year T-note yield rose to a 4-week high of 4.402%. T-notes are under pressure today amid rising crude oil prices, with WTI up more than +5% to a 2-week high, boosting inflation expectations. T-notes extended their losses, and US Mar housing starts and Mar core capital goods new orders rose more than expected, a hawkish factor for Fed policy.
European government bond yields are moving higher today. The 10-year German bund yield rose to a 1-month high of 3.101% and is up +2.0 bp to 3.087%. The 10-year UK gilt yield climbed to a 1-month high of 5.067% and is up +3.8 bp to 5.044%.
