Margins and return-on-capital ratios measuring operating efficiency
Verisk Analytics, Inc. earns an operating margin of 44.6%, significantly above the Industrials sector average of 4.3%. Operating margins have expanded from 42.2% to 44.6% over the past 3 years, signaling improving operational efficiency. Return on equity of 437.9% is exceptionally high, though this is partly amplified by negative book value driven by aggressive share buybacks — well above the sector median of 8.2%. ROIC of 33.0% represents excellent returns on invested capital versus a sector median of 6.1%.
