VRSK’s earnings surprise history has been impressing so far. It witnessed an earnings surprise of 3.8% in the last four quarters (three beats and one miss), on average.
Against this backdrop, let's check out how things have shaped up for Verisk prior to the announcement:
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Verisk’s third-quarter 2022 revenues stands at $757.8 million, indicating a fall of 0.2% from the year-ago fiscal period’s reported figure.
The consensus estimate for the Insurance segment’s revenues is pegged at $623 million, indicating growth of 11.6% from the prior-year fiscal period’s reported figure. Within the segment, underwriting and ratings revenues are likely to have been driven by an annual increase in prices derived from the continued enhancements of the content of solutions within the industry-standard insurance programs as well as the sale of expanded solutions to the existing customers in commercial and personal lines.
The consensus mark for Energy and Specialized Markets segment’s revenues is pegged at $138 million, indicating a 16.8% decline from the year-ago fiscal quarter’s reported figure.
Verisk’s bottom line is likely to have benefited from organic growth, lower provision for income taxes, decreased interest expenses and a fall in average share count. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter’s earnings is pegged at $1.46 per share, indicating growth of 1.4% from the year-ago fiscal quarter’s reported figure.
