Description: VRSK Verisk Analytics December 17, 2025

Verisk Analytics, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRSK) supplies data-analytics and technology services to insurers worldwide, covering underwriting, claims, fraud detection, catastrophe modelling, and specialty-business management. Its offerings span rule-based underwriting forms, loss-cost analytics, workflow automation, and international solutions for both property-casualty and life insurance markets.

Key metrics (FY 2023) show revenue of roughly $3.1 billion with an operating margin near 22 %, driven largely by subscription-based recurring revenue that now represents about 70 % of total sales. The company’s growth is anchored to macro-level drivers such as rising natural-catastrophe frequency, which fuels demand for its extreme-event modelling, and tightening regulatory environments that increase the need for compliance and anti-fraud tools. Additionally, the broader insurance-tech sector is seeing a shift toward AI-enhanced underwriting, positioning Verisk’s data assets as a competitive moat.

If you’re evaluating how Verisk’s platform stacks up against newer analytics players, a quick look at ValueRay’s product suite could provide useful context.
