AI 요약
=== 요약 ===
- 게시물은 패니메이와 프레디맥이 VantageScore 4.0을 수용하도록 허용한 규제 변경을 분석하며, 이는 FICO의 모기지 신용 평가 독점을 무너뜨림.
- 작성자의 테제는 은행들이 합리적으로 더 저렴한 VantageScore를 선택하여 FICO의 가격 결정력과 시장 점유율에 압력을 가할 것이라는 점, FICO의 기술적 우위 가능성에도 불구하고.
- 품질 평가: 잘 연구된 실사. 작성자는 모기지 발행 과정, GSE 규칙 및 경쟁 역학에 대한 이해를 보여줌.

FICO - 감시 | 신뢰도: 0.60 | 심리: +0.30
발언자: u/Melodic_Molasses_736
테제:
1. 사실: FHFA의 VantageScore 4.0 승인은 은행들에게 더 저렴한 대안을 제공, 은행들은 대부분의 대출을 판매하므로 비용 절감을 위해 이를 사용할 인센티브가 있음.
2. 연결: FICO는 핵심 시장에서 가격을 낮추거나 점유율을 내주어야 하므로 임박한 수익/마진 압력에 직면, 주가 급락 초래.
3. 판결: 장기적 위험은 중대하지만, 회사는 잘 운영되고 있으며 잠재적 연준 금리 인하 사이클이 재융자 물량을 증가시켜 경기 대비 수익 촉매를 제공할 수 있음.
4. 위험: FICO가 결정을 뒤집기 위해 성공적으로 로비; VantageScore가 견인력을 얻지 못함; 재융자 물량 급증이 경쟁 압력을 압도.
기간: 중기
핵심 포인트:
- VantageScore 4.0 승인 및 더 저렴함
- 은행의 인센티브가 대출 품질과 불일치
- FICO가 가격을 인하해야 할 수 있음
- 재융자 붐이 압력을 상쇄할 수 있음

From what i heard, the stock moved down today because in a podcast this morning, the CEO of the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) revealed that the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) is making the VantageScore 4.0 operational for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Now here is my take on the whole thing:
Before Fico was a monopoly. Now you have vantagescore. Fico claimed that while Vantagescore and Classic Fico scoring has similar performance, their new FICO 10T scoring is much better than vantagescore 4.0 at detecting default loans. Unfortunately, Fannie and Freddie (GSEs) have only approved lenders to use either Vantage4.0 or Classic FICO. Lender can choose.
Now something like 70 percents of loans that are given out by banks are in turn sold to GSEs by banks. GSEs then package these loans as mortgage backed securities and sell to investors and pension funds. As far as banks are concerned, the money they make is the origination fees and associated stuff. The loan itself doesn't stay on their books. Using vantagescore 4.0 to do credit scoring and underwriting is cheaper since recently they have lowered the prices of vantagescore4.0 to 99 cents or something.
So if you are a bank, GSEs have Now said you can use vantagescore4.0 or FICO to score and underwrite loans. For you, using Vantagescore4.0 is waay cheaper and will lower your costs and allow you to keep more of the loan origination fees. Why should you care even if FICO scoring might be better at detecting bad loans compared to vantagescore? You are anyway going to turn the loan over to GSEs right so the loans are going to be on their books not yours. If they go bad, that's Fannie and Freddie's problem not yours. And later problem of whomever buys MBS. Govt can't blame you because literally they have approved use of vantagescore .
TLDR:
So FICO's problem is even if FICO truly has the better scoring and safer loans, banks are not incentives to use it but to go for the cheapest scoring algorithm approved. Which means either FICO has to lower prices or be okay with sharing revenue. If they have better algo, they might still be used for the 30 percent of loans which banks keep on their books. Honestly maybe instead of spending money to make their scoring better etc FICO should have lobbied the govt and paid them all off to not allow Vantage4.0 or something. Because clearly the govt doesn't care enough to actually conduct some studies and make sure that vantage4.0 and fico 10 T are comparable and both safe so as not to repeat 2008.
For what it's worth, FICO has a really good management team and is a well run company. They do what they do really well. I myself am a shareholder. I don't know how low the shares will go. If the Fed is forced to cut when the economy crashes and 10 year yield goes down and mortgages come down, definitely lots of people will refinance and that should increase FICOS mortgage loans segment revenue.
what do you all think? I would love to hear thoughts and any points where I'm thinking wrong.
GSE에 대한 VantageScore 4.0의 FHFA 승인은 은행에 더 저렴한 대안을 제공하며, 은행은 대부분의 대출을 판매하기 때문에 비용 절감을 위해 이를 사용할 인센티브가 있습니다. FICO는 핵심 시장에서 가격을 낮추거나 점유율을 내줘야 하므로 매출/마진 압박에 직면하여 주가가 폭락할 것입니다. 장기적인 위협은 상당하지만 회사는 잘 운영되고 있으며 잠재적인 연준 금리 인하 사이클이 재융자 규모를 늘려 경기 대비 수익 촉매제를 제공할 수 있습니다. FICO가 결정을 번복하도록 성공적으로 로비하는 것; VantageScore가 traction을 얻지 못하는 것; 재융자 규모의 급증이 경쟁 압력을 압도하는 것.
