Barclays 24th Annual Global Financial Services Conference summary
2 Nov, 2026Outlook and revenue mix
H1 revenue faced near-term headwinds, led by weather impacts on transactional revenue; subscription revenue is 83% of the mix and continued to perform well.
H2 organic constant-currency growth is expected to accelerate into the 6%-8% long-term range; FY 2026 is expected to land within that range.
Transactional revenue is 17% of the mix, including underwriting data usage, claims-volume overages, implementation services and weather-related claims activity.
Product investment and monetization
Core Lines Reimagine began in 2021; the full original program is expected by year-end, with all content on core.verisk.com by end-2026 and a shift from ISOnet.
Core Lines Reimagine and catastrophe-risk innovations are monetized through core subscription pricing; XactAI is an optional, separately priced SKU, with monetization expected over time.
Core Lines Reimagine enables API and system-integrator access to granular loss-cost data, plus digital policy monitoring and comparisons that help carriers identify regulatory changes and target form modifications.
XactAI photo tools can identify property damage and suggest materials and pricing, reducing adjuster estimate-development time; estimates remain subject to review and adjustment.
Verisk Synergy Studio is a SaaS platform for catastrophe models, with scalable computing and more interactive risk parameters; model runs can expand from 10,000 to 100,000 risk paths.
Pricing, premiums and weather
Pricing contribution to annual growth was raised to a 3.5%-4.5% range; prior delivery was ~5%, supported by product innovation and a strong premium environment.
20%-25% of revenue has contracts with a premium-growth input, with a two-year lag; H1 2026 industry premium growth was low single digits, versus high-single-digit growth in recent years.
Historical insurance organic constant-currency growth averaged 6.8% in soft-market years and 7.3% in hard-market years, since going public in 2009.
2026 weather activity was relatively light through mid-September, in line with expectations at the end of July; the variability remained within guidance.
