Verisk Analytics, Inc. engages in the provision of data analytics and technology solutions to the insurance industry in the United States and internationally.
🎯 Q1 FY26 | Rev $1B | EPS $1.82 vs $1.74 🟢
💡 Consensus sees steady 4-5% organic growth with a fading buyback boost, underestimating the compounding effect of the ASR and margin reacceleration as temporary FCF headwinds reverse in H2 2026.
📉 Reward/Risk: 1.63:1
🏢 Business Quality: 8/10 - Recurring insurance data revenue, strong moat, pricing power, but moderate secular growth and exposure to insurance cycle.
📊 Valuation: fair - 28.1x P/E (inline with info services peers 25-35x), FCF yield ~3.5% (depressed), DCF implies low-single-digit growth priced in; not cheap...
🔮 Catalyst: Completion of $1.5B ASR and any FCF recovery signal in Q2 report
