Our note on each quarter Verisk Analytics files

Where Verisk Analytics stands after its latest 10-Q

Revenue for the twelve months to June 2026 was $3.14bn, up 5.0% on a year earlier, slower than 5.9% a quarter earlier. Free-cash-flow margin rose to 39.4% from 34.2% a year earlier. The diluted share count is down 3.6% on a year earlier, which lifts each remaining share. Against its peers on growth, profitability, cash generation and balance sheet, it grades B. It passes 2 of our 3 financial-health checks. Our cash-flow model value is $134 a share, against a share price of $192. At that price, our model says the market is pricing in about 11.2% a year of cash-flow growth for five years, faster than the 5.0% a year revenue growth it has delivered.

Assembled from SEC-filed figures — the full workings are on this page and in our methodology. Observations, not recommendations.

Highlights

How we pick these

Strengths

  • High operating margin. 43.9% of revenue is left as operating profit, against a median of 6.1% for research & consulting services companies we cover.
  • Strong cash generation. 39.4% of revenue turned into free cash flow, against a median of 7.4% for research & consulting services companies we cover.
  • Shrinking share count. Diluted shares fell 3.6% in a year, so each share owns more of the business.
  • Beating expectations. Earnings per share beat the analysts' consensus estimate in each of the last four quarters.

Things to watch

  • Priced above our value. The share price of $201.50 is 22% above our value per share of $160.
  • Below peers: long-term debt as % of assets. Long-term debt as % of assets of 93.8% ranks 21 of 21 research & consulting services companies we cover (median 22.7%).

Valuation

Verisk Analytics, Inc. valuation models and calculator

What the price is pricing in

The share price implies about 9.2% a year of cash-flow growth for five years.That is close to the 5.0% a year revenue growth Verisk Analytics has delivered.

  • Priced in9.2%
  • Last 12 months5.0%
  • 3 years a year6.9%
  • 5 years a year5.0%

Our cash-flow model with every input fixed except growth over the next five years, solved for the growth at which the model value equals the share price ($194.69, Nov 3, 2026). Cash-flow growth then fades to 2.5% a year; discount rate 8.5%. Delivered figures are revenue growth from SEC filings.

How we got here: a discounted-cash-flow model of Verisk Analytics, Inc.'s free cash flow after stock-based pay with after-tax interest added back ($1.2B, FY2026 Q2 TTM), growing 6.1% and 6.2% in the next two years (forecasts, guidance and its record), then back to 6% by year five, and fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%. Lower and higher growth cases span ~$110–~$220 ; that spread sets a 25% margin before we rate Buy or Sell.

Produced by Fundamentalytics' automated valuation model on November 3, 2026, using delayed market prices. Rating meanings, methodology and conflicts: recommendations disclosure and research disclaimer. General research, not personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances. Prices can fall as well as rise.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of Verisk Analytics, Inc.'s free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $1.2B, FY2026 Q2 TTM, with after-tax interest added back): growth for five years as below (the first two years from forecasts, guidance and the company's record), fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%, then cash added and debt and other claims subtracted. These are model values under stated assumptions, not price targets or recommendations.

Valuation models

We value Verisk Analytics, Inc. as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 7.9%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 0.65 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Forward price-to-earnings vs peers Next year's consensus earnings per share times peers' typical (harmonic-mean) forward price-to-earnings. Uses analysts' consensus estimates (third-party data), not our forecasts. ~$100 ~$110–$170 Included
Residual income Book value plus the present value of returns above the cost of equity, fading over ten years. — Does not apply: book value or earnings not available
Justified price-to-book Book value times (return on equity - growth) / (cost of equity - growth): steady-state returns. — Does not apply: return on equity is not positive
Combined value Weighted average of the models that apply: the primary model (cash-flow model (dcf)) counts double. Models more than 5x or less than 0.2x the share price, or more than 3x away from the other models' median, are left out. ~$140 ~$100–$160 2 models

Different models fail in different ways, so where several apply we average them rather than trust one.

Options strategies

All options ideas

How Verisk Analytics, Inc.’s listed options are priced, and three ways to use them that follow from our valuation. Quotes are delayed, read November 2, 2026. Check the live chain at your broker before trading.

Implied vs realised volatility

Options look fairly priced

Implied volatility is within its normal range against realised. Selling options earns the usual premium, nothing extra.

  • Implied is 1.17× the last 60 days’ realised volatility , richer than 49% of the 229 stocks we screen today.
  • Why: implied is not far enough above realised, or not unusual against our coverage.

Our rule for “rich”: implied at least 1.2× 60-day realised (beyond measurement noise), above 1-year realised (not just a calm spell), and in the top 20% of our coverage that day. Never with results inside the option’s life. These are our conventions, built on research showing option prices usually imply more movement than follows, most when the gap is wide. How we judge this.

Cash-secured put

Not offered: rated Sell.

We suggest selling a put only on well-rated companies, at a strike where the price you would pay if assigned (strike less premium) is at or below our fair value.

VRSK Verisk Analytics, Inc. Grade B $199.75

Own 100 shares, sell the $200 call expiring December 18, 2026 (46 days) for $11.50 a share — $1,150 per contract.

Previous session · Bid $11.50, ask $13.60, quoted Mon 2 Nov, 17:39 New York time with VRSK at $199.75. Option prices move with the shares: check the live chain at your broker before trading.

  • If VRSK ends below $200: you keep your shares and the $1,150 — 5.8% extra on the position, 45.7% a year at that pace.
  • If it ends above $200: your shares are sold at $200, a total return of 5.9% including the premium — at or above our value of ~$160.

Results are expected around October 28, 2026, before this option expires: the share price can jump on results, and the premium partly reflects that.

Collar

Not offered: no liquid put and call pair for the same expiry.

For holders of a stock trading at or above our fair value: buy a put for a floor and sell a call to pay for it.

General research, not personal advice. Options can lose you more than you expect and are not suitable for everyone: put sellers can be made to buy shares that keep falling, call sellers give up gains above the strike, and results or news can move prices sharply. Chances shown are approximations from each option’s delta. Spreads, fees and early assignment are not modelled.

Growth Profitability Cash Balance sheet Value

Growth, profitability, cash generation and balance sheet are percentiles against the companies we cover in the same industry, from SEC filings (100 = best). Value compares the share price with our modelled value range (50 = at our base value; higher = cheaper). A description of reported data and our model — not a quality score or advice.
