Verisk Surges 1.18% on Strong Q2 Earnings, 202nd in Market Activity Rank

On July 31, 2025, Verisk (VRSK) closed with a 1.18% gain, trading a volume of $0.66 billion, ranking 202nd in market activity. The stock’s performance followed a second-quarter revenue update that highlighted resilience in its core operations.

Verisk reported Q2 GAAP revenue of $773 million, an 8% year-over-year increase and exceeding the $768.73 million consensus estimate. The growth underscored strong demand for its data analytics and risk management solutions, particularly in insurance and energy sectors. Analysts noted the outperformance reflected effective cost management and expanding client adoption of its predictive modeling tools.

Investor sentiment was further bolstered by the company’s ability to navigate macroeconomic headwinds. Verisk’s revenue growth contrasted with broader market volatility, as clients prioritized risk mitigation amid inflationary pressures. The results signaled confidence in its long-term value proposition, though analysts cautioned that sustained momentum would depend on continued innovation in high-margin offerings.

The strategy of purchasing the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding them for one day generated a 166.71% return from 2022 to July 30, 2025. This outperformed the benchmark return of 29.18%, with excess gains of 137.53% attributed to momentum-driven shifts in high-liquidity stocks. Verisk’s inclusion in such a strategy highlighted its role in capturing market trends through consistent trading activity and sector relevance.
