Dow Jones

Feb 18

By Colin Kellaher

Verisk Analytics' board has raised the data, analytics and technology services provider's quarterly dividend by 11%, to 50 cents from 45 cents, and increased its share-repurchase authorization to $2.5 billion.

The new quarterly payout, equal to $2.00 a year, represents an annual yield of about 1.13% based on Tuesday's closing price of $177.30, up from 1.02%.

The Jersey City, N.J., company on Wednesday said the increased dividend is payable March 31 to shareholders of record March 13.

Verisk, which sports a market capitalization of around $24.7 billion, shelled out $223.8 million to buy back more than 1.02 million shares in the fourth quarter of 2025 and ended the year with $967.5 million remaining under its prior share-repurchase authorization.
