VRSK Verisk Analytics, Inc. Insider Trading

Director Samuel G Liss sold 6,765 shares of VRSK at $177.63 for $1,201,666.95; retains 69,098 shares post-transaction.

Samuel G Liss, a director at Verisk Analytics, sold 6,765 shares at $177.63 on 2026-06-02, reducing his non-derivative holdings by -8.9% to 69,098 shares. The sale occurred when the stock was -44.3% from its 52-week high of $322.92 and has declined -16.2% over the prior 90 days. Among his five prior sales at VRSK, two of the most recent (2025-06-13) experienced 30-day declines of -4.0% and -4.2%, followed by steeper 90-day declines of -14.9% and -15.2%, while three earlier 2024 sales showed positive 90-day returns (+11.5%, +11.0%, +10.8%). His cross-ticker track record across six prior sells shows an average 90-day return of +0.7%, with 40.00% well-timed at the 90-day mark—a modest timing record. With the stock currently at $180.00 and Verisk trading at a P/E of 25.90 with strong fundamentals (revenue $782.6M, net income $234.2M, annual growth +6.6%), this sale represents a partial reduction in a director's stake during a period of stock weakness.

Director Perry Christopher John bought 1,000 VRSK shares at $180.00 on 2026-02-20; cluster buy pattern with 2 other insiders in past 14 days.

Director Perry Christopher John purchased 1,000 shares of Verisk Analytics at $180.00, increasing his holdings to 2,994 shares from 1,994 shares (a +50.2% increase in holdings). The transaction occurs amid a cluster pattern: 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated board-level activity. However, the stock's recent performance context is mixed—VRSK currently trades at $191.17, off -40.5% from its 52-week high of $321.33, and has declined -12.3% over 30 days and -14.6% over 90 days. The insider's own cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior buy (with -17.1% 90-day return) and 19 prior sells (with 21.05% well-timed rate), suggesting his historical buying at VRSK has not been well-positioned; this purchase follows the same pattern as his prior VRSK buy on 2025-08-13, which also returned -17.1% over 90 days. The cluster buying amid significant recent price weakness, combined with the insider's weak prior buy-timing history at this specific ticker, presents a mixed signal that merits monitoring of follow-up insider activity and fundamental catalysts.

Director Hendrick Gregory bought 500 VRSK shares at $180.16; stock now at $191.17 (-40.5% from high). Cluster buy pattern with 2 others.

Hendrick Gregory purchased 500 shares of Verisk Analytics at $180.16 on 2026-02-20, increasing his holdings by 19.2% to 3,106 shares. The purchase occurs as VRSK trades at $191.17, down 40.5% from its 52-week high of $321.33 and down 12.3% over the prior 30 days. Gregory's prior open-market buy at this same ticker (2025-10-31) generated a 90-day return of +0.2%, and across his full trading history, his 1 prior buy achieved a 100% win rate at the 90-day mark. A cluster pattern is evident: 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days. The company's fundamentals remain solid with $768.3M in revenue, $225.5M net income, and 6.6% annual revenue growth, though the P/E of 30.25 reflects investor caution.

Director Stevenson bought 1,000 shares of VRSK at $179.20 on 2026-02-20; stock down -40.5% from 52-week high. Cluster: 2 other insiders also bought within 14 days.

Kimberly S Stevenson (Director) purchased 1,000 shares at $179.20, increasing her holdings from 3,415 shares to 4,415 shares (a +29.3% increase in her position). The transaction occurs while VRSK trades at $191.17 current price, approximately -40.5% from its 52-week high of $321.33 and down -12.3% over the past 30 days. Most notably, this purchase is part of a cluster buy pattern: 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days. Across her cross-ticker track record, Stevenson has achieved a 100.00% win rate on prior open-market purchases with an average 90-day return of +4.0%, suggesting a pattern of sound timing on her buy decisions. The concurrent purchasing activity by multiple directors during a significant pullback from recent highs merits investor attention as a potential indicator of insider sentiment at current valuations.

Director Purtill buys 450 VRSK shares at $217.95; part of cluster with 2 other insiders in 14 days. Stock down -33.0% from 52-week high.

Director Sabra R. Purtill purchased 450 shares of Verisk Analytics at $217.95, increasing her holdings by 51.3% from 877 to 1,327 shares. This purchase occurs as part of a cluster pattern in which 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated appetite for the stock despite recent price pressure. The stock is trading -33.0% below its 52-week high and down -13.5% over the past 30 days, yet Purtill and peers chose to add positions, reflecting willingness to accumulate at materially depressed price levels relative to recent history. The company generates $768.3M in quarterly revenue with $225.5M net income and trades at a P/E of 32.59; fundamentals show 7.5% annual revenue growth, indicating the business remains profitable and growing despite the equity price decline.

Director Hendrick Gregory buys 500 VRSK shares at $216.14; holdings now 2,536. Cluster of 3 insider buys in 14 days amid 33% drawdown from 52-week high.

Director Hendrick Gregory purchased 500 shares of Verisk Analytics at $216.14 on 2025-10-31, increasing his holdings from 2,036 to 2,536 shares (+24.6% vs pre-transaction). The transaction occurs during a significant drawdown: the stock is -33.0% from its 52-week high of $321.33 and -13.5% over the past 30 days. This buy is part of a cluster pattern with 2 other insiders also purchasing within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated interest at current price levels. The company remains fundamentally sound with $768.3M in latest quarterly revenue, $225.5M net income, +7.5% annual growth, and a $30.0B market cap, though its P/E of 32.59 reflects elevated valuation relative to growth. The convergence of multiple insiders accumulating shares during a sharp correction warrants attention to whether this signals selective valuation-driven opportunism or reflects broader confidence in underlying business resilience.

Director Dailey purchases 500 VRSK shares at $217.03; stock down 33.0% from 52-week high; cluster buy pattern with 2 other insiders in 14 days

Director Jeffrey J Dailey purchased 500 shares of Verisk Analytics at $217.03 on 2025-10-31, increasing his holdings by +14.4% to 3,962 shares. The purchase occurs while VRSK is trading -33.0% from its 52-week high and down -13.5% over the past 30 days, suggesting the purchase was made into a period of price weakness. Notably, 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, forming a cluster buy pattern that indicates coordinated insider accumulation across the executive team. The company maintains solid fundamentals with $768.3M in latest quarterly revenue, $225.5M net income, and 7.5% annual revenue growth, alongside a market cap of $30.0B, providing context for insider confidence despite recent stock performance.

CIO Daffan Nicholas sold 5,420 VRSK shares at $265.00 on 2025-09-03; stock now $268.44, down 16.5% from 52-week high.

Nicholas sold 5,420 shares at $265.00, reducing his holdings by 9.1% to 54.3K shares. The stock has declined 16.3% over the past 90 days and currently trades $268.44, which is 16.5% below its 52-week high of $321.33. Examining his cross-ticker track record, his prior sells show a 100.00% well-timed rate with an average 90-day return of -16.7%, suggesting a pattern of selling ahead of weakness. At VRSK specifically, one prior measurable trade (2025-06-04 sell) was well-timed, with the stock falling 16.7% over 90 days; two more recent VRSK sales (August and July 2025) show initial weakness at the 30-day mark but lack 90-day measurement yet. The company has strong fundamentals with $253.3M quarterly net income and a P/E of 40.92, but the convergence of the insider's recent sell pattern with the stock's 16.3% quarterly decline warrants monitoring of whether this reflects informed positioning ahead of further headwinds or is unrelated to operational prospects.

CEO Shavel Lee sells 2,200 VRSK shares for $589,611.00 across two transactions near 52-week high

Shavel Lee executed 2 separate sales totaling 2,200 shares for $589,611.00 on August 15 and August 18, 2025, reducing his holdings from 81,107 to 78,907 shares (-2.7%). The sales occurred at $268.00–$268.01, near the company's 52-week high of $321.33 (current price $265.69 is -17.3% from that high). Across his entire cross-ticker insider trading history, Lee's prior 8 open-market sells posted an average 90-day return of +1.6%, indicating his historical selling has been poorly timed—the stock typically rose after he sold. At VRSK specifically, his 5 prior trades show mixed timing: 2 of 5 were well-timed at the 90-day mark (negative returns after the sale), but 3 were poorly timed. The current sales occurred as the stock has declined -12.0% in 30 days and -15.1% in 90 days, yet this specific timing cannot be reliably attributed to insider foresight given his historical pattern of selling ahead of stock rallies rather than declines. Post-transaction, Lee retains substantial ownership at 78,907 shares, and the company's fundamentals remain solid: Revenue $772.6M (latest quarter), net income $253.3M, annual growth +7.5%, and P/E 40.50.

Director Perry Christopher John bought 1,000 shares of VRSK at $259.80; holdings increase to 1.8K shares (+129.4%).

Director Perry Christopher John purchased 1,000 shares of Verisk Analytics at $259.80 on 2025-08-13, more than doubling his stake from 773 shares to 1.8K shares. The transaction occurred as VRSK has declined 10.8% over the past 30 days and 13.5% over 90 days, trading at $267.70 (down 16.7% from its 52-week high of $321.33). Across his cross-ticker track record, the director's prior 19 open-market sells posted a 16.67% well-timed rate, indicating he historically exits positions with mixed success. The purchase signal must be weighed against VRSK's current valuation (P/E 40.81) and the stock's recent downward momentum, which contextualizes the transaction within a softer market environment for the name.
