VantageScore CEO yesterday: Gaming is a myth
Fannie Mae SVP: They can figure out how to game a system at the drop of the hat.
Former Fannie Mae SVP on lenders pulling $FICO first, then VantageScore for a dollar
$FICO thought exercise: Assume they 'didn't get greedy' and straight-line +HSD scores revenue growth since 2018. You have way lower (50%+) profits and a lot more coming from software which we all know is worthless these days. Where's the stock price in that scenario?
My understanding is the GSEs and the securitization market can't accept VS4.0 loans until pricing is established.
I also would have expected this news to be trumpeted from everywhere by the bureaus/VantageScore instead of briefly mentioned during hour 4 of an investor day.

FICO also soft on $TRU/$EFX taking VS pricing from ~$4 to $1 per score. My gut is this takes VS4.0 mortgage revenue at the Credit Bureaus from ~$0 before this cut to ~$0 afterwards because they are already giving away VS4.0 for free for anyone that buys FICO. Good PR though
