What this business is made of

The business

The shared pool of claims data every insurer drinks from.

Verisk sells data and analytics to the insurance sector, mostly P&C (property & casualty). Insurers pay recurring subscriptions to price policies, detect fraud, and estimate damages. Revenue of $3.1B in 2025, almost entirely recurring.

Accumulates decades of claims data that no single insurer has complete on its own — each customer feeds the shared pool and everyone drinks from it. Switching providers means retraining actuarial models and breaking regulatory processes. The data network effect deepens every year.

Where each $100 of sales goes

Revenue $3.1B · FY2025

Cost of sales$926M · 30%
Operations$803M · 26%
Taxes and other$436M · 14%
Net profit$908M · 30%

Of every $100 in sales, $70 goes to costs and operations; $30 is left as net profit (30% margin).

Catalysts and risks

Annual price increases of 6-7% on the subscription base with renewal near 100%.

Expansion in catastrophe and climate analytics, where insurers need ever finer models.

FCF of $1.2B funding aggressive buybacks that shrink the share count.

⚠️

Brutal concentration in P&C insurance — if that sector stumbles, Verisk stumbles.

⚠️

29x multiple prices in perfect growth; any slowdown punishes it.

⚠️

Regulators or an insurer consortium could try to build alternatives to its data pool.

Charlie's note

A toll on every U.S. insurance policy — the kind of boring business that makes you rich while you sleep. The problem isn't the quality; it's what you pay for it.

We do not calculate a value here: Verisk Analytics does not generate cash flows you can project, and putting a number on it would be making it up. What you can do is follow it and tell us the price you care about — we will email you when it gets there.
