Reverse DCF
What growth is priced into VRSK?
At today's price, Verisk Analytics, Inc. needs to grow free cash flow about -1.3% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 6.12% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at 9.3% a year, so the market is asking for 10.6 percentage points below its own delivered rate. On that basis VRSK looks priced below what its own growth record supports.

Verisk Analytics, Inc. is currently running 38.9% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against VRSK's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 96th percentile — an extreme by its own standards, against a typical reading of 18.4%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.
VRSK is trading -41.8% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -16.1%, and the deepest was -35.0% in 2025. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.
Price sits -3.4% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 19th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year VRSK closed higher on 49% of sessions, and it is currently 2 sessions into a rising streak.
On September specifically: over 13 years of records, VRSK finished the month higher 3 of 13 times, with a median return of -2.2% and an average of -1.7%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +4.4% on average, its weakest September at -1.7%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.
Overnight risk is measurable too: VRSK has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 81 of 3,267 sessions (2.5% of the time), with the largest gaps running +13.7% and -11.9%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.
Across the last 3 dated reports on file, VRSK moved an average of 1.7% in the session after earnings, closing higher 1 of those 3 times, with a median move of -0.1% and a largest of -5.0%.
All figures computed from 3,268 daily closes between 2013-09-16 and 2026-09-14, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against VRSK's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
