Verisk Analytics, Inc. VRSK

Revenue Intelligence Report • 36 quarters of SEC filing data • Updated 2026-03-15

Revenue appears driven by SG&A spending, with a long-run revenue multiplier of 2.49x per $1 of SG&A, making SG&A the main revenue lever under the linear model. The latest quarterly revenue is $779M; with 36 quarters of data, holdout testing yielded 11.7% error against a predicted $688M, and overall MAPE sits at about 12.8%, indicating modest forecast accuracy. The FY revenue forecast is $2,709M, down roughly 11.9% year over year, signaling near-term softness despite the SG&A-driven upside in the long run. Investors should monitor whether SG&A investments translate into the forecasted revenue and whether cost discipline can sustain value as top-line declines continue.

Investment Thesis

At 12.8% MAPE, the model captures Verisk Analytics, Inc.'s broad revenue trajectory, though quarterly variability suggests sensitivity to external factors. Each $1 of SG&A spending generates $2.49 in revenue, reflecting strong commercial efficiency.
