BMO Capital analyst Jeffrey M. Silber raised the price target on Verisk Analytics (NASDAQ: VRSK) to $248.00 while maintaining a Outperform rating.

The analyst comments "Adjusted EPS exceeded expectations on stronger-than-expected margins, while annual OCC revenue growth accelerated sequentially to 5.8% from 4.7%. Subscription revenue growth improved to 8%, supported by strong pricing and renewals, partially offset by ongoing transactional headwinds from weaker weather activity and softer commercial property markets. Management's commentary on AI was constructive, highlighting early monetization benefits through stronger renewals and pricing and growing adoption of new AI-enabled products. 2026E guidance was reaffirmed. We slightly tweak our estimates, though raise our target price."
