Verisk Analytics stock (ISIN US92345Y1064) stood at EUR 170.00 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026, while Jefferies cut its target from USD 260.00 to USD 235.00 on October 19, 2026. The target reduction is the latest in a series of analyst resets ahead of Verisk's third-quarter report.

According to MarketScreener, Jefferies published the change on October 19, 2026. The same page lists Morgan Stanley's October 14 reduction from USD 235.00 to USD 215.00, showing that the recent debate has centered on valuation and growth durability rather than a change in Verisk's insurance-data business.

Second-quarter figures set the baseline

Verisk reported USD 806.30 million in revenue and USD 228.60 million in net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Revenue was up 4.30 percent from the year-earlier quarter, while net income was lower than the prior-year figure of USD 253.30 million, according to MarketBeat.

Earnings Today reported adjusted earnings per share of USD 1.98 against a USD 1.94 consensus estimate for the second quarter. The figure provides a stronger operating reference than the target revisions alone, but the lower net income keeps margin quality relevant.

What comes next for investors?

The next scheduled milestone is November 5, 2026, when Verisk will report fiscal third-quarter results before the market open. The company also scheduled an earnings webcast for 8:30 a.m. ET that day, according to Yahoo Finance.

Trading reference for the stock

Verisk's primary listing is on the Nasdaq, where the stock was last quoted at USD 189.21 on October 19, 2026, according to the MarketScreener company page. Its market capitalization was USD 24.6 billion as of that date. The euro quotation offers German investors a separate trading reference, while the analyst targets remain denominated in US dollars.

Verisk's business combines proprietary insurance data, predictive analytics and software for underwriting, claims, fraud detection and catastrophe risk. The company reported 40 petabytes of data and more than 7,500 employees on its corporate website. The next earnings release will test whether the second-quarter revenue base can support the valuation debate reflected in the latest target cuts.
