FAIR ISAAC CORP. $79 – New York symbol FICO

FAIR ISAAC CORP. $79 (New York symbol FICO; Aggressive Growth Portfolio, Manufacturing & Industry sector; Shares outstanding: 31.7 million; Market cap: $2.5 billion; Price-to-sales ratio: 3.5; Dividend yield: 0.1%; TSINetwork Rating: Average; www.fico.com) has paid an undisclosed amount for Tonbeller, a German firm whose software helps banks and insurance companies detect and prevent money laundering and fraud.

The company plans to integrate Tonbeller’s antifraud products with its own software, which can quickly analyze a large number of transactions. That should give Fair Isaac an advantage, as users usually have to buy these programs separately.

Fair Isaac is a hold.
