Recent press releases and 8-K filings for VRSK.
- Verisk has delivered 6–8% organic constant-currency revenue growth annually since 2009, driven by ~3–4% pricing, 1.5–2% cross-sell/upsell, 1.5–2% new products, and net new customers (~50–150 bps) offset by attrition (~50–150 bps).
- The company refocused on its core P&C insurance vertical, elevating engagement to the C-suite to accelerate product innovation and capture the faster-growing technology spend within the industry.
- Near-term outlook: Q4 2025 growth is expected to remain soft due to lighter weather-related transaction volumes, persisting into early 2026, while subscription revenue has outpaced overall growth and sales are at record levels this year.
- Verisk is embedding GenAI across its portfolio—enabling natural-language interaction with forms, claim photo tagging in property estimating, document summarization for workers’ comp, and physics-based enhancements in catastrophe modeling—to strengthen product differentiation.
- Verisk targets 6-8% organic constant currency revenue growth, driven ~3-4% from pricing, 1.5-2% from cross-sell/upsell, 1.5-2% from new products, +50–150 bps from new customers and offset by 50–150 bps attrition each year.
- The company has refocused solely on the P&C insurance vertical, elevating engagement to the C-suite and modernizing its core Forms, Rules & Loss Costs (“Core Lines Reimagined”) business for improved usability and faster innovation.
- Near-term, lighter weather events have led to softer 4Q growth, but management remains confident in meeting its medium-term targets for 2026 despite tougher year-over-year comps.
- Verisk’s moat is reinforced by proprietary and contributory data sets (30 bps of U.S. P&C premiums) and ongoing GenAI integration across its product suite, spanning claims, underwriting and catastrophe modeling.
- Verisk reiterated its 6%–8% constant-currency organic revenue growth target, attributing 3%–4% to pricing, 1.5%–2% to cross-sell/upsell, 1.5%–2% to new products, offset by 50–150 bps of attrition.
- Growth in 4Q 2025 is expected to be soft, driven by lighter weather-related activity, in line with trends observed in Q3 2025.
- The company has refocused exclusively on the insurance industry, divesting non-core verticals and investing in Core Lines Reimagined, a multi-year modernization of its contributory forms, rules, and loss costs suite on a cloud-based platform.
- Verisk is embedding GenAI across its product portfolio—ranging from natural language interfaces for forms to AI-powered property estimation (XactAI) and enhanced catastrophe modeling—as clients build AI governance and appetite for these solutions grows.
- Acknowledging competitive pressures (notably in auto data), Verisk cites its proprietary and contributory data moat, deep subject-matter expertise, and trusted carrier relationships as key barriers to disintermediation.
- At J.P. Morgan’s Ultimate Services Investor Conference, Verisk’s President of Underwriting Solutions confirmed Core Lines Reimagined—a multi-year overhaul of ISO forms, loss costs, analytics, and technology—is in its final quarter, with digital modules live on core.verisk.com, >50% customer adoption, and 2–3× engagement on mature analytics.
- Verisk is embedding Gen AI layers into its proprietary content for natural-language querying, automated metadata tagging, and rapid ingestion of unstructured submissions, boosting internal development efficiencies and customer workflows.
- Underwriting Solutions maintains value-based pricing, leveraging Core Lines Reimagined to sustain past price realization improvements, while addressing headwinds from personal auto competitive parity and a reduction in certain government contract spend.
- The full migration of all content to the new digital platform is expected within 12–18 months, with a voluntary transition to avoid forced cutovers and to let customers adopt at their own pace.
- Underwriting Solutions President Saurabh Khemka said Verisk is in the final phase of its five-year Core Lines Reimagined overhaul; over 50% of customers now use the new digital platform (core.verisk.com), with 2–3× higher engagement on mature analytics modules, and Gen AI layers enable natural-language querying and summaries of proprietary forms, rules, and loss costs data.
- Verisk is building new contributory underwriting databases, notably an excess & surplus lines consortium, allowing customers to benchmark their E&S performance against admitted market data and benefit from network effects as they contribute data.
- The company will continue value-based pricing under its existing methodology; Core Lines Reimagined delivers enhanced analytics that support improved price realization and ongoing margin expansion, particularly through long-term contracts.
- In personal lines auto, competitive pressure is concentrated in non-differentiated products, though Verisk’s LightSpeed bindable-quote solution remains uniquely differentiated, prompting a renewed focus on product innovation.
- Verisk maintains an appetite for M&A on the underwriting side—seeking acquisitions that bolster proprietary data and workflow synergies—and plans to migrate all core content to core.verisk.com within 12–18 months via voluntary customer transition.

- Underwriting Solutions will maintain value-based pricing and pursue margin expansion by leveraging AI-driven efficiencies in content digitization and internal workflows.
- All core underwriting content will be available on core.verisk.com within 12–18 months without forced migration, with customers expected to transition fully as they realize platform efficiencies.
