Deep Analysis

Gross margin is the percentage of revenue a company keeps after paying the direct costs to produce its product or service, and FICO's current 87.1% means it keeps $0.871 of every $1 in sales.

This is far above the sector median of 46.4%, placing FICO in the 98th percentile among peers. The year-over-year change is N/A, while the quarter-over-quarter change is +0.3%, and the trend direction over the last 8 quarters is also N/A because only two historical values (87.1% and 86.8%) are available. The combination of an extremely high margin and a small quarterly uptick suggests low operational cost risk, but the lack of longer-term data limits confidence in the trend. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: the high margin is a positive, but no clear momentum exists to justify a stronger stance.
