A higher percentile is simply a higher value (for P/E, more expensive on earnings — never "better"). Informational only.
Top 10 scores & list membership
VRSK is not currently in any published Top 10 list. Its scores are below.
Long-term score
54.8 #519 of 1,608 scored · #66 of 273 in Industrials
Profitability 97th (return on equity 324.3%, operating margin 43.4%) and capital return 80th (consecutive years of dividend increases 5 years); weakest is long-term trend (22nd, a "death cross" — its 50-day average is below its 200-day).
Short-term score
34.6 #1465 of 1,696 scored · #233 of 280 in Industrials
Momentum 59th: its RSI momentum gauge is in neutral territory; volume and participation 55th: trading volume is about normal versus its 30-day average; weakest is trend 0th: a "death cross" — its 50-day average is below its 200-day. Its trend score is set to zero: its 50-day average is below its 200-day and the price is below both.
Scores as of 25 Aug 2026. Each bar is a percentile: how this company ranked against every company the score ranked, 0–100. A list is a published formula and its output, not a recommendation. Method version 3.
Dividend coverage (FY2025)
Covered by reported results. In FY2025, VRSK's dividend was covered by reported results (earnings payout 28%, free-cash-flow payout 21%). This describes past coverage, not a forecast.
- Earnings payout28% dividends / net income
- Free-cash-flow payout21% dividends / (operating cash flow − capex)
Coverage derived from reported SEC EDGAR XBRL figures for FY2025 (dividends paid vs. net income and free cash flow, same fiscal year). This describes PAST coverage for one fiscal year — it does not predict whether a dividend will be maintained, raised, or cut, and a one-year payout ratio can be distorted by non-recurring items. Informational only — not financial advice.
How Verisk Analytics looks technically
Verisk Analytics (VRSK) is trading 3.9% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 250 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal. There is no clear trend right now — the price is choppy (ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 14, below the 25 that marks a real trend). Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 51, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 2 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive). It made a new 20-day low about 7 trading days ago. It is 31.8% below its highest point of the past year.
Trend

| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 3.9% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -3.9% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $188.37 | $188.37 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $196.08 | $196.08 |
| Swing structure | its recent peaks and dips disagree — one of them is rising while the other is not, so there is no clean up or down pattern in the swings | mixed — one of the two is not confirming |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing low 8 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 8 sessions |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 250 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal | 250 sessions |
| Trend strength (14-day ADX) | there is no clear trend right now — the price is choppy (ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 14, below the 25 that marks a real trend) | 14.4 |
Momentum
3
| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 51, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 50.5 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading in the upper half of its 14-day range ($174.45 to $196.42) — its "stochastic" reading is 64 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle. It has been slipping within that range over the last few sessions. | 63.9 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 2 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive) | 2 sessions |
Range

| 52-week high | its highest closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days) was $276.19 | $276.19 |
|---|---|---|
| From the 52-week high | it is 31.8% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -31.8% |
| Above the 52-week low | it is 20.9% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year) | +20.9% |

| Since a 55-day breakout | it made a new 55-day high about 20 trading days ago | 20 sessions |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $322.92 (set on 2025-06-05) | $322.92 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($156.84 to $273.03), and it has recovered roughly a quarter of its fall from last year’s high — 27% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $228.65 to $232.36. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 27.2% |
| From the all-time high | it is 41.6% below its all-time high | -41.6% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 1.1% below a resistance level at $190.62 — a price it turned at twice since 2026-04-29, most recently on 2026-07-23. Since 2024-08-26 it has 2 such levels below the current price and 10 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | +1.1% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $26.10 (set on 2009-10-12) | $26.10 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 622.2% above its all-time low | +622.2% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are about average versus its own recent 6-month history | 56th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $7.13 between its high and its low — about 3.8% of its price. That is its "average true range" over the last 14 sessions, which also counts the distance from the previous close, so a day that opens well away from yesterday counts as the large move it was | $7.13 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $172.10 and $204.79 — the "Bollinger bands", a range drawn two standard deviations either side of its 20-day average price, which widens when the stock gets more volatile and narrows when it settles | $172.10 – $188.44 – $204.79 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 3.8% in a typical session — about typical for the companies we cover. This is the average gap between a session's high and low over the last 14 sessions, counting overnight moves, expressed against the current price so it can be compared with companies trading at any price | 3.8% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 1.1 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (3.9% below it in plain percentage terms) — a way of asking how far it has stretched from its own average in units of how far it normally moves in a day, so a calm company and a jumpy one can be compared on the same scale | 1.1 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-08-25 1.0% below the previous session's close — an overnight gap, the part of the move that happened while the market was shut, and traded back through that level before the close | -1.0% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 4.0% below the previous close 18 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 213.15 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | -4.0% |
| Gap filled | a 5.7% gap down opened on 2026-08-10 has been "filled" 1 session ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it took 10 sessions to close | 1 session ago |
Price streaks

| Closing streak | it closed lower in its latest session, after a session that did not close lower — a single down day rather than a run | 1 session down |

Signal agreement

| Bullish technical signals | 1 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it is currently in a bullish state: MACD momentum is positive — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 1 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 3 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: a "death cross" — its 50-day average is below its 200-day, trading below its 200-day average, lagging the market over 6 months — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 3 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading inside the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-07-20 and projected forward over today's price, the zone traders read as unresolved — neither side has established a trend, and the band is where that gets settled. The band itself is moderate, spanning 5.3% of the share price. | 0.0% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 1% above the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $187.21 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 159 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +0.7% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 1% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-07-29 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $190.43 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 20 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -1.0% |
Price levels it has turned at before
VRSK last closed at $188.49 on 2026-08-25. Since 2024-08-26 it has turned at 2 prices below its last close and 10 above; the 2 nearest below and the 3 nearest above are listed, nearest first.
| Level | Side | Distance | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| $190.62 | Resistance | 1.1% above the last close | turned there twice · 2026-04-29 to 2026-07-23 |
| $184.62 | Support | 2.0% below the last close | turned there twice · 2026-04-21 to 2026-06-11 |
| $196.48 | Resistance | 4.2% above the last close | turned there three times · 2025-10-29 to 2026-07-07 |
| $173.79 | Support | 7.8% below the last close | turned there twice · 2026-04-23 to 2026-08-17 |
| $216.03 | Resistance | 14.6% above the last close | turned there three times · 2025-12-10 to 2026-03-05 |
A level is a price this company reversed or paused at more than once — they describe past behaviour, not a forecast of where the price will go.
Wave structure
No Elliott-wave labelling currently fits its swings: the recent highs and lows do not satisfy the three rules a five-wave count has to obey, so there is no count to show rather than a count we are unsure about.
Read from daily closes as of 2026-08-25.
An Elliott-wave count describes the swings already printed and the level that would disprove it. It is not a forecast, a target, or advice.

- Consensus EPS estimate$1.93 next reporting period, as of 2026-08-26
Change over time is not available yet: it needs two readings of the same reporting period at least 30 days apart, and we have been recording these estimates since 2026-08-04. An estimate for a DIFFERENT quarter is not a revision, so a reading from before the last report is never compared with one after it.
The consensus estimate for the next reporting period, and how it has moved between readings of that SAME period. A change is measured only between readings estimating one period — when a company reports, the consensus moves to the next quarter and the two numbers are not comparable. Informational only, not a forecast and not advice.

Only open-market purchases (SEC code P) and sales (code S) are counted here. Option exercises, vesting/awards, gifts, and shares withheld for taxes are excluded — they are compensation or mechanical, not open-market conviction. Sales may be planned and non-discretionary (e.g. a Rule 10b5-1 plan) and are not necessarily bearish; open-market buying is not a recommendation to buy. Informational only — not financial advice.
Congressional trading disclosures
U.S. House members publicly disclose their own, their spouse's, and dependent children's stock transactions under the STOCK Act. We hold 14 matched disclosures for VRSK from U.S. House Clerk Periodic Transaction Report filings.
Congressional trading disclosures →Institutional ownership (13F)
5 institutional 13F filers reported holding VRSK as of 2026-03-31 (quarter-end position, filed within 45 days).
- Distinct 13F filers 5
- Reported shares held 21,152,518
- Reported value $4,013,690,220
reported quarterly holdings change (2025-12-31 → 2026-03-31): 0 new, 2 increased, 3 decreased, 1 exited. Change counts cover only managers that filed 13F reports in BOTH quarters, derived between two quarter-end snapshots — not same-day trades; a single manager is never said to have "bought" or "sold".
Institutional holdings are quarter-end long positions reported on SEC Form 13F-HR, filed up to 45 days after the quarter ends — they are delayed, are not real-time trades, exclude short positions and most non-US securities, and are not investment advice. Any increase/decrease is a reported change between two quarterly snapshots, not a same-day purchase or sale. These are quarter-end snapshots from the 13F filings on SEC EDGAR, filed within 45 days — not real-time, and any change is a difference between two quarterly reports, not a same-day trade.

Short interest (FINRA)
VRSK had 4,311,764 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-07-31 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
VRSK had 3.29% of its shares outstanding sold short as of the 2026-07-31 FINRA settlement date (percent of FLOAT would be higher — float is not disclosed in the source). FINRA reported 2.23 days to cover at the same settlement.
- Reported short interest (shares) 4,311,764
- Short interest (% of shares outstanding) 3.29%
- Prior settlement (shares) 6,313,063
- Reported change -31.7%
- Days to cover (reported) 2.23
Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-07-31 settlement date. Short interest is reported to FINRA and published on a delayed, bi-monthly schedule (as of a settlement date, disseminated roughly eight business days later) — it is NOT real-time, does not cover every venue or all US trading, and is not a short-squeeze prediction or investment advice. Days-to-cover is the value FINRA reports; percent of float is not shown because the source file carries no share-count denominator — where a percent appears it is of shares OUTSTANDING, the larger base, and is therefore a floor on percent of float.
