- On Feb. 17, 2026, Verisk and S&P Global Energy announced a data-sharing collaboration to integrate their climate catastrophe risk analytics, enabling financial and insurance sectors to quantify insured and uninsured impacts of future climate events.
- Verisk’s near-present physically based climate catastrophe risk data will feed into S&P Global Sustainable1 Climanomics, while S&P’s climate-adjusted flood data will power Verisk’s Touchstone platform for event simulations through 2050.
- The combined solution supports stress testing, regulatory compliance, and portfolio optimization for insurers, banks, asset managers, and real estate investors.
- Verisk’s Rob Newbold highlighted the partnership's role in providing an auditable foundation for climate risk decisions, and S&P’s Thomas Yagel emphasized its shift from reactive compliance to proactive resilience.
- Net written premiums rose 5.1% to $740.7 billion, while net earned premiums climbed 6.9% to $711.2 billion through the first nine months of 2025.
- The industry’s underwriting gain widened to $35.3 billion, up from $4 billion in the same period of 2024.
- The combined ratio improved to 94%, down from 97.9%, as incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses increased just 0.6%.
- Policyholders’ surplus grew to $1.20 trillion, versus $1.12 trillion a year earlier.
- Realized capital gains fell to $15.6 billion, compared with $75.5 billion through Q3 2024.
- Verisk’s Catastrophe and Risk Solutions group estimates USD 4 billion in insured property and auto losses from Winter Storm Fern (Jan. 23–26), driven primarily by freeze impacts.
- Freeze impacts are expected to be the largest driver of losses, with supplemental wind and snow damage across 14 states potentially exceeding USD 50 million each.
- If validated, Fern would rank as the third costliest U.S. winter storm on record, behind Elliott (2022) and Uri (2021).
- The analysis uses Verisk’s updated U.S. Winter Storm Model—featuring explicit freezing rain modeling and power outage vulnerability—which is scheduled for release in June 2026.
