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.

CEO Shavel Lee sold 2,200 shares for $671,055.00 total ($305.02 avg) at VRSK; retains 60,218 shares.

Shavel Lee executed 2 separate sales totaling 2,200 shares for $671,055.00 on 2025-05-15 and 2025-05-16, reducing his holdings by 3.5% from 62,418 to 60,218 shares. The blended average sale price was $305.02, modestly below the current price of $314.35 and well below the 52-week high of $314.35. His prior trades at VRSK show mixed 90-day outcomes: two sales in 2024 posted negative 90-day returns (-1.8% and -1.1%), while one posted a positive 90-day return (+7.5%); 0 of 3 measurable sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark, suggesting no consistent pattern of prescient exit timing at this ticker. The stock has appreciated +7.3% over the past 30 days and +7.2% over 90 days, with the company reporting strong fundamentals (P/E 45.30, revenue growth +7.5% YoY, net income $232.3M in the latest quarter). The sale occurs at elevated valuation levels with no material negative catalyst evident.

CEO Shavel Lee sold 2,200 shares ($634,689.00) across two days; prior VRSK sales all showed positive 90d returns.

Shavel Lee, CEO of Verisk Analytics, executed 2 separate sales totaling 2,200 shares for $634,689.00 on 2025-03-17 and 2025-03-18, reducing his holdings from 64,618 to 62,418 shares (a -3.4% reduction). His prior trade history at VRSK is instructive: in 4 prior sells at this ticker, all generated positive 90-day returns (ranging from +3.1% to +8.0%), meaning the CEO has consistently sold before subsequent gains—none of his prior VRSK sales were well-timed from a downside-protection perspective. With the current price at $288.93 now slightly above his blended sale price of $288.50, the market has absorbed this sale without immediate deterioration. The transaction occurs within the 52-week range midpoint, and the CEO retains substantial holdings (62.4K shares), suggesting this is not a crisis-driven exit but rather part of a pattern where liquidity events have historically not preceded declines.

Shavel Lee, Chief Executive Officer, executed two separate sales totaling 2,000 shares for $567,200.00 at blended average price $283.60, leaving 53,163 shares post-transaction. At the current price of $280.36, the stock is -3.3% from its 52-week high of $290.04 and remains up 4.8% over the past 30 days. Lee's prior sales at Verisk (on 2024-08-15 and 2024-08-16) showed positive 90-day returns of 8.0% and 7.5% respectively, indicating he did not sell ahead of subsequent declines. The transaction size is modest relative to his remaining holdings (a -3.6% reduction), and occurs in a stock that remains near recent highs despite light recent selling by the CEO.

No FLAGS indicating 10b5-1 plans or other scheduling constraints are noted; the consecutive-day pattern and modest share quantity suggest a discrete portfolio adjustment rather than a large programmatic liquidation.
