Former California Deputy Attorney General and Special Counsel with Johnson Fistel Launches Investigation Into Fair Isaac following DOJ Probe; Investors Suffering Losses Encouraged to Contact Firm

SAN DIEGO, March 18, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shareholder Rights Law Firm Johnson Fistel, LLP with the assistance of former California Deputy Attorney General and Special Counsel, Tiffany Johnson, Esq., is investigating potential claims against Fair Isaac Corporation ("Fair Isaac" or the "Company") FICO for violations of federal securities laws. Fair Isaac develops analytic, software, and data management products and services that enable businesses to automate, enhance, and connect decisions. Fair Isaac's FICO scores are a measure of risk that banks and credit card companies use to make lending decisions and are used by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to determine the creditworthiness of mortgage applicants.

On Friday, March 13, 2020, the U.S. Department of Justice notified Fair Isaac that it opened an antitrust investigation. In a press release issued by the Company on March 15, 2020, Fair Isaac stated that the probe focuses on "potential exclusionary conduct." Following this news, FICO's stock price fell $62.87 per share, or 20.71%, to close at $240.68 per share on March 16, 2020.

Fair Isaac is also involved in an antitrust suit brought by credit reporting agency TransUnion. The case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Of particular note, the Court stated last year that Trans Union sufficiently pled its antitrust claims. Trans Union alleged that FICO engaged in practices intended to drive out competition and that Fair Isaac's exclusive dealings are allegedly unlawful attempts to maintain monopoly power.
