The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is $745 million, indicating 6.5% growth from the year-ago fiscal quarter’s actual. VRSK’s client-centric approach facilitated by a global suite of next-generation models is expected to have driven the top line. We anticipate this strategy to have captured strong value-based price realization and extended contract renewal duration.
Our estimate for revenues from the United States is $612.4 million, implying year-over-year growth of 5.4%. We anticipate revenues from the U.K. to be $55.7 million, indicating a 7.3% increase from the year-ago fiscal quarter’s actual. Revenues from Other countries are estimated to rise 13.5% from the year-ago fiscal quarter’s actual to $80.6 million.
The consensus estimate for the bottom line is pegged at $1.67 per share, suggesting 2.5% growth from the year-ago fiscal quarter’s reported figure. Strong margin expansion is anticipated to have fueled the bottom line.

You can uncover the best stocks before they are reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
