Oppenheimer downgraded FICO (FICO) to Perform from Outperform with no price target as the analyst assumed coverage of the credit services group.

However, given the combination of regulatory uncertainty, potential share loss to VantageScore, and a 10% stock gain since the announcement on October 1, the firm’s analysis suggests FICO’s valuation is “now full,” the analyst tells investors.
