Verisk Analytics ( (VRSK) ) has issued an update.

On December 29, 2025, Verisk announced that it had terminated its definitive agreement to acquire roofing and construction software provider AccuLynx after the U.S. Federal Trade Commission failed to complete its review by the deal’s December 26, 2025 contractual deadline. The collapse of the transaction has already prompted a dispute, with AccuLynx asserting that Verisk’s termination is invalid and Verisk vowing to vigorously contest that claim, introducing potential legal and regulatory overhang around the abandoned deal. With the merger and a related $750 million term loan facility both ending on December 26, 2025, Verisk said it will redeem in full the $1.5 billion of senior notes issued to fund the planned acquisition at 101% of principal plus accrued interest, which would have left the company at 1.9 times last‑twelve‑month adjusted EBITDA as of September 30, 2025 and preserves balance-sheet flexibility, including $1.2 billion of remaining share repurchase authorization.

The most recent analyst rating on (VRSK) stock is a Hold with a $270.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Verisk Analytics stock, see the VRSK Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on VRSK Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, VRSK is a Outperform.

Verisk Analytics’ strong financial performance and positive earnings call sentiment are the primary drivers of its stock score. However, technical indicators suggest bearish momentum, and the high P/E ratio indicates a premium valuation. The company’s high leverage is a risk factor that needs careful management.
