Published on 09/30/2026 at 15:14 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Verisk Analytics (ISIN US92345Y1064) was trading at EUR 146.00 at Lang & Schwarz on September 30, 2026 at 3:05 p.m. CEST, down 0.34 percent versus the prior close of EUR 146.50. The latest business signal is a reaffirmed growth target, but lighter weather-related claims activity is limiting near-term volume growth.
Growth target meets claims pressure
As Yahoo Finance reported on September 25, 2026, Verisk reaffirmed its 6 percent to 8 percent annual organic constant-currency revenue-growth target. The report also said unusually light weather activity and moderating insurance premium growth were weighing on claims-volume-linked products.
The operating mix provides some protection. Subscription revenue represented 83 percent of total revenue in the most recent quarter, while pricing, cross-selling, upselling and new products are intended to offset pressure on transactional volumes, according to the same September 25, 2026 report from Yahoo Finance.
Second-quarter numbers beat estimates
MarketBeat reported that Verisk posted second-quarter 2026 revenue of USD 806.30 million, up 4.3 percent from the prior-year quarter. EPS was USD 1.98, exceeding the USD 1.93 consensus by USD 0.05.
The same MarketBeat report said fiscal 2026 EPS guidance stood at USD 7.45 to USD 7.75, while the analyst consensus was USD 7.71. The company also declared a quarterly dividend of USD 0.50, payable on September 30, 2026, giving shareholders a separate cash-return event alongside the growth debate.
Analyst target remains above Nasdaq quote
MarketBeat listed a Moderate Buy consensus and a USD 226.71 average price target in its September 21, 2026 report. Barclays had reduced its target from USD 275.00 to USD 225.00 on September 8, 2026, while UBS had raised its target from USD 220.00 to USD 235.00 on July 30, 2026, according to MarketBeat.
