"% of total stake" is the shares in this event against all the vested shares the person held that day, across every share class and holding entity, after that day's vesting. "n/a" means the person's holdings don't reconcile, or the row is a purchase. "Holdings record incomplete" means more shares were sold than the filings show the person held that day, so a percentage would be wrong.

What stands out

Samuel Liss (17% of holdings) sold $2.1M of stock with no disclosed trading plan. The filings don't state a reason.Largest such sale, Jun 2, 2026
Five directors bought shares: Gregory Hendrick (1K shares, $198K), Christopher Perry (1K shares, $180K) and Kimberly Stevenson (1K shares, $179K), plus 2 more.Gregory Hendrick: purchase, Oct 31, 2025 · Christopher Perry: purchase, Feb 20, 2026 · Kimberly Stevenson: purchase, Feb 20, 2026
Five insiders sold shares but ended with larger stakes, because more shares came in than were sold: Lee Shavel (sold 15K, 19% of starting holdings; 51K added), Samuel Liss (sold 11K, 17% of starting holdings; 13K added) and Bruce Hansen (sold 4.7K, 32% of starting holdings; 6K added), plus 2 more.Lee Shavel: largest sale, Aug 3, 2026 · Samuel Liss: largest sale, Jun 2, 2026 · Bruce Hansen: largest sale, Jun 1, 2026

Percentages cover all 17 officers and directors. Disclosed company stock is not an insider's whole wealth.

Common questions

Is the Verisk Analytics CEO selling stock?

Yes. Lee Shavel sold 15K shares ($3.0M, 19% of starting holdings) in the past 12 months, all of it under a trading plan disclosed in the filings.

Why are Verisk Analytics insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 65% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings and 35% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any Verisk Analytics insiders buying?

Yes. 5 officers or directors reported 6 purchases in the past 12 months (Form 4 code P, which includes private purchases).

How much of their stake did Verisk Analytics insiders sell?

About 12% overall. As a group they ended with more shares than they started with. That covers the 12 months to Oct 8, 2026 and counts vested shares reported on SEC Forms 3, 4 and 5, which is not an insider's whole wealth.

17 of 17 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (17 exactly, 0 with a minor or footnoted difference). Percentages cover all 17 officers and directors. "Still held" compares ending with starting vested shares; a plus sign means the holding grew.

What explains the selling$7.0M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $7.0M across 37,132 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

The lighter segment is sales with no plan disclosed in the filing ($2.4M), including tax-related sales outside a plan.

No plan disclosed · $2.4M

Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $2.1M of it is Samuel Liss. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: Samuel Liss, Jun 2, 2026

Taxes

28,929 shares ($6.5M) were withheld by the company for taxes, which isn't a market sale.

Purchases · 5 buyers (6 trades)

5 officers and directors bought shares in this period, in 6 trades(Form 4 code P). Across all their filings on record there are 19 purchase trades.

Open-market sales (Form 4 code S) by people who were officers or directors, in split-adjusted shares. Earlier years include people who have since left. A sale that an outside holder also reports (a family trust, a fund) is counted with outside holders in every year. Shares, not dollars, are compared, so a change in the stock price doesn't look like a change in selling. Years the filings don't fully cover are shown but left out of the average.

Known gaps and uncertaintyEvery officer and director reconciles

Every officer and director reconciles for this period.

Inferred rename: the share class "Class A Common Stock" is treated as the same class as "Common Stock" on 14 holding lines, because the old title was never reported again on those lines and each balance carried over exactly. Example (Mark Anquillare, 49,438 shares): old title, new title

External context: we only cite outside events when a documented connection exists. None is shown for this period.

Sources and methodology1,080 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 1,080 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for Verisk Analytics (SEC CIK 1442145) from Oct 6, 2009 to Oct 2, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 8, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages.

Holdings. Each holding line (a share class plus an owner, such as a trust or LLC) carries its last reported balance forward. Entities first reported during the period start at zero, so transfers between an insider's own trusts don't count as selling. Lines not reported for three years or more are listed separately and left out of totals.

Sales. A sale counts as under a 10b5-1 plan if its footnote cites one or the filing's Rule 10b5-1 box is checked, and as tax-related if its footnote cites tax obligations or sell-to-cover. Shares withheld by the company for taxes are listed separately. Sales with neither attribute are labeled "no plan disclosed".
