Verisk Analytics, Inc.

Verisk Analytics, Inc. is an American multinational data analytics and risk assessment firm headquartered in Jersey City, New Jersey, with approximately 8,000 employees worldwide. The company's mission is to empower clients with invaluable data analytics and innovative risk assessment solutions, enabling them to make more informed decisions, mitigate risks, and enhance operational efficiency across various industries, particularly within the global insurance sector.

Verisk provides a comprehensive suite of products and services, including predictive analytics and decision support consultations for fraud prevention, actuarial science, insurance coverage, fire protection, catastrophe and weather risk, and data management. Key offerings include underwriting and rating content, claims analytics, property and peril data, catastrophe models, and repair-cost estimating via Xactware. The company primarily serves the insurance industry, encompassing property and casualty, life, annuities, reinsurance, and specialty markets, and also caters to government and risk management sectors. Its revenue model is largely subscription-based.

Led by CEO Lee Shavel, Verisk Analytics reported strong first-quarter 2026 earnings, surpassing forecasts, driven by robust demand for its analytics in underwriting and claims. The company achieved 4.7% organic revenue growth in Q1 2026, with significant contributions from its subscription revenues. Verisk is actively investing in AI-powered analytics and cloud integration, positioning itself as a crucial partner for AI implementation within the insurance ecosystem. Despite a recent stock decline due to investor concerns about AI's potential impact, analysts emphasize that Verisk's proprietary data, contributed directly by insurers, is difficult for generic AI models to replicate, solidifying its market position as a leading third-party provider to the global property and casualty insurance industry.
