On this episode of The Weekly Wrap, Steve Eisman covers a dramatic week for FICO, in which its decades-long mortgage monopoly effectively broke. Steve then delivers a deep dive into private equity's overexposure to software buyouts, why the SAASpocalypse has cut valuations by 50% or more, and why the refinancing wall coming in 2027 will likely wipe out equity in many of these deals. He closes with three mailbag questions covering oil-driven inflation, AI regulation, and how the Moody's securitization database gave him the confidence to short subprime paper back in 2006.
