VRSK surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the four trailing quarters and missed in one, delivering an earnings surprise of 4.5%, on average.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $722.5 million, indicating a 7% increase from the year-ago quarter’s actual. Solid growth in underwriting and modest improvement in claims are anticipated to have benefited this segment’s revenues. Also, development across the majority of its subscription-based solutions with strong renewals, the expansion of relationships with existing customers, and solid sales of new solutions are likely to have aided this segment.
Our estimate for revenues from the United States is pegged at $594.4 million, implying a rise of 5.5% on a year-over-year basis. We estimate revenues from the U.K. to be $51.4 million, indicating a 14.3% increase from the year-ago quarter’s actual. Revenues from Other countries are expected to grow 12.7% from the year-ago quarter’s actual to $75.1 million.
The consensus estimate for the bottom line is pegged at $1.6 per share, suggesting an 8% rise from the year-ago quarter’s actual.The bottom line is expected to have benefited from margin expansion due to the positive impacts of sales leverage and cost discipline.
