Verisk Analytics (VRSK - Free Report) is scheduled to release its second-quarter 2023 results on Aug 2, before the bell.
The company has had an impressive earnings surprise history. It outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the four trailing quarters and matched once, delivering an earnings surprise of 9.8% on average.
Q2 Expectations
Verisk Analytics’ performance in the to-be-reported quarter is expected to have been negatively impacted by the disposition of Energy and Specialized Markets, and Financial Services segments, despite the Insurance segment remaining in good shape.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the top line is currently pegged at $653.1 million, indicating a 12.5% decline from the year-ago actual figure. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the bottom line is pegged at $1.4, which is 8.5% lower than the year-over-year figure.
