June 29, 2007 Shareholder Urges Fair Isaac to Explore Possible Sale

MarketWatch reports:

Investment management firm Sandell Asset Management Corp. on Friday disclosed a 5% stake in Fair Isaac Corp., and urged the company to hire a financial adviser to review alternatives, including a possible sale. In a letter to Fair Isaac Chief Executive Mark Greene, Sandell also urged the Minneapolis-based provider of analytic software and data management products to "continue to aggressively repurchase shares at the current depressed valuation levels." Fair Isaac shares rose 5.8% to $39.60 in Friday afternoon trade.

This stock needs something to shake it up. Earnings were lousy last quarter and the shares haven't done much all year.
