Verisk posted Q1 OCC revenue growth of 4.7% with diluted adjusted EPS of $1.82, up 5.2%, and adjusted EBITDA margin expanding 60 basis points to 55.9% as subscription growth remained durable at 7% on tough comps. FY2026 guidance was reaffirmed unchanged at $7.45-7.75 adjusted EPS, and the company won a competitive RFP for a next-generation underwriting platform. AI client engagement was deepening though extended sales cycles were noted, and transactional revenue continued declining on low weather while the $1.5B ASR capital return program advanced.
