GuruFocus Profitability Rank ranks how profitable a company is and how likely the company’s business will stay that way. It is based on these factors:

1. Operating Margin
2. Trend of the Operating Margin (5-year average). The company with an uptrend profit margin has a higher rank.
••3. Consistency of the profitability
4. Piotroski F-Score
5. Predictability Rank•

The maximum rank is 10. A rank of 7 or higher means a higher profitability and may stay that way. A rank of 3 or lower indicates that the company has had trouble to make a profit.

Profitability Rank is not directly related to the Financial Strength Rank. But if a company is consistently profitable, its financial strength will be stronger.

Baron Funds Comments on Verisk Analytics Inc. - Dec 14, 2012

Verisk Analytics, Inc. (VRSK) is a leading data and analytics company for the property & casualty insurance, health care, and mortgage industries. Shares fell 3.3% in the third quarter as financial results were hampered by weakness in its mortgage line.We remain optimistic about the company's long-term prospects. Verisk dominates the insurance data and analytics space, maintains high margins, and now offers data solutions that help reduce fraud in the health care and credit card industries. (Rob Susman)

Wedgewood Partners' David Rolfe Comments on Verisk Analytics - Nov 12, 2012

Verisk Analytics (VRSK) detracted from our performance during the quarter. While little known to investors even today, Verisk has a long and rich history dating back to its incarnation in 1971. Prior to Verisk’s IPO, it was discreetly called Insurance Services Office (ISO) and began as a nonprofit association for U.S. property and casualty insurance companies. Such insurance companies are regulated by the states and these regulations were quite burdensome and required significant data and documentation. Yet from state to state, insurance companies’ regulatory filings became a duplicitous task. This is where ISO stepped in to become a central – and quite critical - depository and gatherer of data for the association of insurance companies. Over the course of the next 25 years ISO would morph into a private for-profit company, leveraging their access to reams of valuable data and then in turn creating even more valuable analytical products and services. They branched into actuarial loss estimation, standardized policies and proprietary risk classification. In late 2009, the association of insurance companies desired, and needed, the considerable liquidity embedded in their joint ownership of Verisk, so the association sold their respective stakes in Verisk through an IPO that raised $1.9 billion. (An aside: Warren Buffett was the only association shareholder who kept Berkshire Hathaway’s respective shares.) We first invested in these shares in August of 2011. Today, the Company’s suite of risk assessment services and decision analytical tools includes, of course, the P&C insurance industry, but also covers the reinsurance, mortgage & financial services, healthcare industries and government entities. Verisk counts all of the top 100 P&C insurance companies as clients – with a not-so-insignificant renewal rate of 98%, while over 70% of the company’s revenues are prepaid, booked subscriptions. This unique franchise, as one would suspect, generates uniquely attractive operating margins in excess of 40%. The Company’s products and services significantly underpenetrate all of the non-P&C industry verticals. We expect Verisk to continue to capitalize on an annual double-digit growth opportunity, as well as to continue to execute a smart consolidation of industry actuarial peers in conjunction with meaningful, opportunistic share buybacks.

Wedgewood Partners Comments on Verisk - Aug 31, 2012

Verisk (VRSK) positively contributed to performance during the quarter after the company reported 17.5% year over year growth in diluted adjusted earnings per share. The company continues to leverage its position as the largest provider of actuarial data and analytical services to property and casualty insurers. Verisk operates as a niche player in the information delivery sub-industry. There are no rivals in this sub-industry with offerings that are as comprehensive as Verisk's portfolio, so the company encounters very little competition on this front. As a result of the fragmentation, Verisk is a serial acquirer of smaller competitors, but is often able to execute their acquisition strategy on quite favorable terms.

Baron Funds Comments on Verisk Analytics - Aug 24, 2012

From Baron Funds' second quarter commentary:

Shares of insurance analytics company Verisk Analytics, Inc. (VRSK) rose 4.9% in the second quarter versus a 2.8% drop for the S&P 500 Index. Verisk's primary mission is providing proprietary data, forms and analytics to the property and casualty insurance industry.This part of the business is about 40% of revenues and is high margin (approximately 55%). One of the primary reasons the stock outperformed in the second quarter was the changing view of insurance participants that rates and the exposure levels in the space that are improving after three years of negative growth. Verisk's core insurance business fluctuates directly with premium volume and when sentiment improves around overall insurance exposure and pricing, the multiple tends to expand and the stock outperforms.What is interesting is that Verisk prices its insurance product on a two year lag, so that improvements today could benefit the company for many years ahead. Additionally, the stock outperformed because Verisk's emerging health care business continues to make great strides helping medical providers and payers with quality of outcome data and fraud risk. Organic growth in this segment has been in the 30% range and recent results showed sequential improvement. If Verisk can apply its expertise around understanding and managing risk to the health care space then we think the earnings potential of the company is significant. Total health care spend is approximately four times the size of P&C insurance. As part of this health care strength, in the second quarter Verisk acquired Medi-Connect, a company with a unique database of clinical files which provides Verisk with yet another great data set from which to derive proprietary analytics.

From Baron Funds' first quarter letter: Shares of Verisk Analytics, Inc. (VRSK), an insurance data and analytics company, rose 17.0%. After a strong 2011, it appears that the company's primary business (risk assessment) is on the verge of a large increase in organic growth, while its newer health analytics business has continued to exceed growth expectations. We believe Verisk has a dominant position in the insurance analytics space and has the ability to leverage its data expertise in other industry verticals. (Rob Susman)

Business Description

Verisk Analytics, Inc is a provider of information about risk to professionals in insurance, healthcare, mortgage, government, supply chain, and risk management. The Company by using advanced technologies to collect and analyze billions of records, draws on industry expertise and unique proprietary data sets to provide predictive analytics and decision-support solutions in fraud prevention, actuarial science, insurance coverages, fire protection, catastrophe and weather risk, data management, and many other fields. Its customers use its solutions to make better risk decisions with greater efficiency and discipline. The Company organizes its business in two segments: Risk Assessment and Decision Analytics. Its Risk Assessment segment serves its P&C insurance customers and focuses on the first two decision making processes in its Risk Analysis Framework: prediction of loss and selection and pricing of risk. Within this segment, it also provides solutions to help its insurance customers comply with their reporting requirements in each U.S. state in which they operate. In the Decision Analytics segment, it supports all four phases of its Risk Analysis Framework. It develops predictive models to forecast scenarios and produce both standard and customized analytics that help its customers better predict loss, select and price risk, detect fraud before and after a loss event, and quantify losses. The Company's competitors includes other statistical agents, including the National Independent Statistical Service, the Independent Statistical Service and other advisory organizations, providing underwriting rules, prospective loss costs and coverage language such as the American Association of Insurance Services and Mutual Services Organization. The Company's certain solutions and services are subject to regulation under federal, state and local laws in the United States and, to a lesser extent, foreign countries.
