Verisk Analytics stock closed at USD 187.03 on the Nasdaq on September 14, 2026, gaining 6.15% compared with the previous session. On the same day, the S&P 500 index declined 0.48% to 7,620.05, so Verisk outperformed the broader US market by more than 6 percentage points.
September 14, 2026 in numbers
Verisk Analytics Inc. (ISIN US92345Y1064, Nasdaq: VRSK) ended the September 14, 2026 session at USD 187.03, within an intraday range that placed the close comfortably between the day’s low and high, per Nasdaq data from Yahoo Finance. Over the recent period, the shares have traded in a 52-week range between roughly USD 155.94 and USD 263.67, so the latest close left the stock closer to the lower end of that band than to the high, as highlighted by GuruFocus. Trading volume around the close aligned with typical recent levels for the stock, and the strong daily gain contrasted with the concurrent decline in major US indices.
The session took place just ahead of the company’s latest cash dividend timetable. According to Yahoo Finance, Verisk announced a cash dividend of USD 0.50 per share with an ex-dividend date of September 15, 2026 and a payable date of September 30, 2026, corresponding to an annualized payout of USD 2.00 per share. Dividend-focused positioning around the ex-dividend date may have contributed to the stock’s firm tone relative to the wider market during the last completed session.
Dividend date and Fed focus today
Today, September 15, 2026 marks the ex-dividend date for Verisk’s USD 0.50 per share cash dividend, with shareholders of record on that date set to receive payment on September 30, 2026, as detailed by Yahoo Finance. In parallel, investors in data and analytics names are watching broader macro developments. As Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported on September 15, 2026, US equity markets have been drifting as investors look ahead to an upcoming Federal Reserve decision, with technology and artificial-intelligence related stocks holding somewhat steadier than the broader market. That backdrop, together with the stock’s current position in its 52-week range, frames how Verisk Analytics shares enter today’s US trading session.
