Verisk Analytics, Inc. is currently running 26.0% 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 77th percentile — elevated for this stock, against a typical reading of 18.5%. 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 -43.8% 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 -4.1% 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 1 session into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 14 years of records, VRSK finished the month higher 8 of 14 times, with a median return of +1.1% and an average of -0.6%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +4.4% on average, its weakest September at -2.6%. 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 80 of 3,268 sessions (2.4% 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%.
