Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Verisk is doubling down on the regulatory advantaged insurance vertical, which we believe will support a material improvement in returns on invested capital and profitability.

Bears

Verisk is exposed to evolving data privacy regulation and increased public scrutiny, which may curb access or increase the cost of sourcing data assets.
