Verisk Analytics is a best-in-class data analytics franchise for U.S. property and casualty insurers, with a perfect 4-quarter earnings beat streak, operating margins of 29%, and a Piotroski F-Score of 8/9, but the stock's near-term appeal is constrained by thin 10% upside to analyst targets, a confirmed downtrend, and heavy customer concentration in a single end market.

Sell if holding. Momentum 1.0/10 is below the 5.0 floor at $181.67 — engine's falling-knife protection flags exit rather than catching a breakdown.

About Verisk Analytics, Inc.
About Verisk Analytics, Inc.
Verisk Analytics directed approximately 70% of 2025 revenues from solutions serving U.S. property and casualty primary insurers — including all of the top 100 U.S. P&C providers for the lines Verisk covers. The company operates as a single Insurance segment following the Energy business sale on February 1, 2023 and the sale of its Marketing Solutions unit to ActiveProspect on December 31, 2025 for $80.0 million. Subscriptions and long-term agreements represented over 80% of 2025 revenues.
Verisk earns revenue through proprietary data, analytics, and software subscriptions sold to P&C insurers, reinsurers, and global specialty markets. The Insurance segment spans three areas: underwriting (forms, rules, and loss costs for 32 lines of insurance, with regulatory filings in all 50 U.S. states); catastrophe and risk modeling (probabilistic models for hurricanes, earthquakes, and other perils across more than 120 countries); and claims solutions (property estimating, anti-fraud analytics, and litigation support). Life insurance and annuities are served through the FAST platform acquired in 2019. International coverage reaches the London specialty market plus insurers in Canada, the UK, Ireland, and Continental Europe. Because some invoices are linked to U.S. P&C premium levels, revenue may fluctuate with loss experience, capital capacity, and natural disaster activity — factors outside Verisk's control. The company processes approximately 2,000 regulatory filings annually as a licensed statistical agent in all 50 U.S. states.
Show full overview
Verisk's statistical agent function requires interfacing with state regulators in all 50 states, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, reviewing an average of approximately 17,600 legislative actions, 22,000 regulatory actions, and 2,000 court decisions per year to keep policy language and rating information current. Loss of access to data from external sources — including government agencies, insurer contributions, or third-party databases — may materially affect the company's ability to deliver solutions. The 10-K also discloses a specific cloud infrastructure risk: migration toward a smaller number of large infrastructure suppliers means Verisk cannot easily switch cloud providers, so a single vendor disruption may impact multiple products simultaneously.
