Stocks are seeing support again today as reports circulate that a preliminary US-Iran peace agreement could be signed as early as this weekend, ending the military hostilities, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and ending the US blockade on Iran and its oil exports.  Negotiations would then begin on the more intractable issues, such as sanctions against Iran, the release of $24 billion of frozen Iranian assets, and the resolution of Iranian nuclear issues.  Iran claimed it would continue to exert control over the Strait of Hormuz even after a new ceasefire agreement.Join 200K+ Subscribers: Find out why the midday Barchart Brief newsletter is a must-read for thousands daily.

Stocks surged on Thursday after President Trump said he canceled planned military strikes against Iran, citing "discussions" with Iranian leadership.  He added that a "time and place of the signing" of a negotiated end to the war would "be announced shortly," and the US naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz "will remain in full force and effect until this transaction is finalized."

WTI crude oil prices (CLN26) are down more than -1% today on hopes for a near-term US-Iran agreement and a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

Tech stocks are being undercut today by weakness in chip and software stocks.

In some positive news for stocks, the University of Michigan’s US Consumer Sentiment index rose +4.1 to 48.9, which was stronger than expectations for a rise to 46.0.

The markets are waiting to see how SpaceX will open for trading today after its IPO on Thursday.  Nasdaq says the shares will be released for quotation at 9:50 AM ET today, but it may take some time for regular trading to begin.

The markets are discounting a 4% chance of a +25 bp rate hike at the next FOMC meeting on June 16-17.

Overseas stock markets are higher today.  The Euro Stoxx 50 is up +1.4%.  China's Shanghai Composite closed up +1.12%.  Japan’s Nikkei-225 Stock Average closed up +2.81%.

Interest Rates

September 10-year T-notes (ZNU6) today are down -8 ticks, and the 10-year T-note yield is up +3.2 bp at 4.493%.  T-notes are seeing weakness today as the 10-year inflation expectations rate is up +0.7 bp at 2.313%, despite today’s drop in oil prices.  The T-note market remains worried about inflation pressures, which are likely to remain sticky even after the Strait of Hormuz reopens.  The T-note market has some carry-over weakness from Thursday, when demand was lackluster for the Treasury’s 30-year bond auction.

US Stock Movers

Space Exploration Technologies Corp (SPCX), doing business as SpaceX, is expected to begin trading this morning after raising a record $75 billion in its IPO on Thursday.  The stock is expected to open substantially above its IPO price of $135.  The IPO was more than four times oversubscribed, indicating strong demand for the stock.  A strong showing by SpaceX today would be positive for investor sentiment and could help the upcoming IPOs for AI companies Anthropic and OpenAI.

Space-linked stocks are trading lower despite the SpaceX debut, with EchoStar (SATS) down more than -6%, and Rocket Lab (RKLB) down more than -5%.

Chip stocks are trading mostly lower today after Thursday’s sharp rally, with the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) trading slightly lower after Thursday’s rally of +8.39%.  Thursday’s rally was sparked by signs that AI spending is continuing after Oracle reported quarterly capital expenditures that were higher than expected, driven by increased data center spending.  Chip leaders today include AMD (AMD) and Intel (INTC), with gains of more than +3%.

Adobe (ADBE) is down more than -8% after CFO Dan Durn said he would leave the company on June 15, following news earlier this year that Adobe’s CEO would resign.  The Adobe news put continued downward pressure on software stocks, which were undercut on Thursday by negative earnings news from Oracle (ORCL).  ServiceNow (NOW), Atlassian (TEAM), and Workday (WDAY) are all trading down by more than -3%.

Airline stocks are seeing continued support after oil prices today moved lower, adding to Thursday’s decline.  United Airlines (UAL) and Southwest Airlines (LUV) are trading up more than +0.5%.

Energy stocks and service providers are mixed despite today’s continued slump in oil prices.  Baker Hughes is down more than -1%, but Occidental Petroleum (OXY) and Marathon Petroleum (MPC) are up more than +1%.

Astera Labs (ALAB), CoreWeave (CRWV), Nebius Group (NBIS), Rocket Lab (RKLB), and Teradyn (TER) are seeing support today after Nasdaq announced on Thursday that those stocks will join the Nasdaq 100 Index, effective at the market open on June 22.  Stocks leaving the Nasdaq 100 include Charter Communications (CHTR), Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTSH), Insmed (INSM), Verisk Analytics (VRSK), and Zscaler (ZS).

Travelers (TRV) is down more than -1% after Barclays cut its rating on the stock to underweight from equal-weight due to a downbeat outlook for profits in the property and casualty sector.

Rocket Lab (NASDAQ:RKLB), Astera Labs (NASDAQ:ALAB), CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV), Nebius (NASDAQ:NBIS), and Teradyne (NASDAQ:TER) are joining the Nasdaq-100 on June 22, knocking out Charter Communications (NASDAQ:CHTR), Cognizant (NASDAQ:CTSH), Insmed (NASDAQ:INSM), Verisk Analytics (NASDAQ:VRSK), and Zscaler (NASDAQ:ZS) in the quarterly rebalance. Rocket Lab jumped 6.54% in premarket, Nebius gained 4.44%, CoreWeave added 3.30%, and Astera Labs rose 3.14%.

The five additions reflect the index's growing tilt toward AI infrastructure and space technology. CoreWeave and Nebius are both AI cloud providers, while Astera Labs designs high-speed connectivity chips for AI data centers. Rocket Lab has emerged as a leading small satellite launch provider. The inclusions follow Marvell Technology's addition to the S&P 500, also effective June 22, as benchmark rebalances increasingly favor AI-linked names.

SpaceX, set to begin trading Friday under SPCX, could eventually land in the index too once it clears eligibility requirements. The June 22 rebalance also coincides with Marvell Technology joining the S&P 500 on the same date.

Nasdaq (NDAQ) said it will add CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV), Nebius (NASDAQ:NBIS), Rocket Lab (NASDAQ:RKLB), Astera Labs (NASDAQ:ALAB) and Teradyne (TER) to the Nasdaq-100 index, a move that is likely to prompt fresh buying from index-tracking funds, according to a Wednesday exchange notice.

The changes will take effect before the market opens on June 22 as part of Nasdaq's quarterly rebalance. The index, which holds 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the exchange, is reviewed regularly to keep its membership in line with eligibility rules.

Nasdaq's latest reshuffle of the Nasdaq-100 (NDX [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/NDX]) appears to favor some of the market's strongest performers, with the five incoming companies significantly outperforming the five names set to leave the index.

Among the additions, Nebius Group (NBIS [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/NBIS]) leads with a 165.5% gain year-to-date, followed by Astera Labs (ALAB [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/ALAB]) at 120.9%, Teradyne (TER [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/TER]) at 97.0%, Rocket Lab (RKLB [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/RKLB]) at 64.5%, and CoreWeave (CRWV [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/CRWV]) at 33.7%.

By contrast, Insmed (INSM [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/INSM]) is down 44.4%, Zscaler (ZS [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/ZS]) has fallen 43.9%, Cognizant (CTSH [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/CTSH]) is lower by 38.3%, Charter Communications (CHTR [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/CHTR]) has declined 33.4%, and Verisk Analytics (VRSK [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/VRSK]) is down 18.6%.

The rebalance also highlights a notable split between Seeking Alpha's Quant Ratings and analyst sentiment. As per the Quant model, Nebius (NBIS [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/NBIS]) is the only Strong Buy-rated stock among the 10 additions and deletions, while Insmed (INSM [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/INSM]) is the lone Sell-rated name. However, Wall Street analysts remain overwhelmingly positive on Insmed, with both Seeking Alpha analysts and Wall Street assigning Strong Buy ratings. More broadly, Wall Street maintains Buy ratings on eight of the 10 companies, compared with just one Strong Buy and eight Holds from the Quant system.

NASDAQ-100 ADDITIONS:

* Nebius (NBIS [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/NBIS]): Quant - Strong Buy | Wall Street - Buy | YTD +165.5%
* Astera Labs (ALAB [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/ALAB]): Quant - Hold | Wall Street - Buy | YTD +120.9%

* CoreWeave (CRWV [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/CRWV]): Quant - Hold | Wall Street - Buy | YTD +33.7%

NASDAQ-100 DELETIONS:

* Zscaler (ZS [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/ZS]): Quant - Hold | Wall Street - Buy | YTD -43.9%
* Cognizant (CTSH [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/CTSH]): Quant - Hold | Wall Street - Buy | YTD -38.3%
* Charter Communications (CHTR [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/CHTR]): Quant - Hold | Wall Street - Hold | YTD -33.4%
* Verisk Analytics (VRSK [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/VRSK]): Quant - Hold | Wall Street - Buy | YTD -18.6%
* Insmed (INSM [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/INSM]): Quant - Sell | Wall Street - Strong Buy | YTD -44.4%

The latest rebalance highlights Nasdaq's increasing exposure to AI, semiconductor, cloud infrastructure, and space-related themes, while removing several stocks that have lagged both the broader market and the index's newest entrants in 2026.

The ex-dividend date is usually set to be one business day before the record date, which is the cut-off date on which you must be present on the company's books as a shareholder in order to receive the dividend. The ex-dividend date is of consequence because whenever a stock is bought or sold, the trade takes at least one business day to settle. Meaning, you will need to purchase Verisk Analytics' shares before the 15th of June to receive the dividend, which will be paid on the 30th of June.

The company's next dividend payment will be US$0.50 per share. Last year, in total, the company distributed US$2.00 to shareholders. Last year's total dividend payments show that Verisk Analytics has a trailing yield of 1.1% on the current share price of US$183.13. We love seeing companies pay a dividend, but it's also important to be sure that laying the golden eggs isn't going to kill our golden goose! As a result, readers should always check whether Verisk Analytics has been able to grow its dividends, or if the dividend might be cut.

AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early.

Dividends are typically paid out of company income, so if a company pays out more than it earned, its dividend is usually at a higher risk of being cut. That's why it's good to see Verisk Analytics paying out a modest 28% of its earnings. Yet cash flow is typically more important than profit for assessing dividend sustainability, so we should always check if the company generated enough cash to afford its dividend. What's good is that dividends were well covered by free cash flow, with the company paying out 22% of its cash flow last year.

It's positive to see that Verisk Analytics's dividend is covered by both profits and cash flow, since this is generally a sign that the dividend is sustainable, and a lower payout ratio usually suggests a greater margin of safety before the dividend gets cut.

Have Earnings And Dividends Been Growing?

Companies with consistently growing earnings per share generally make the best dividend stocks, as they usually find it easier to grow dividends per share. If earnings fall far enough, the company could be forced to cut its dividend. For this reason, we're glad to see Verisk Analytics's earnings per share have risen 12% per annum over the last five years. The company has managed to grow earnings at a rapid rate, while reinvesting most of the profits within the business. This will make it easier to fund future growth efforts and we think this is an attractive combination - plus the dividend can always be increased later.

Story Continues

Another key way to measure a company's dividend prospects is by measuring its historical rate of dividend growth. In the past seven years, Verisk Analytics has increased its dividend at approximately 10% a year on average. It's great to see earnings per share growing rapidly over several years, and dividends per share growing right along with it.

To Sum It Up

Is Verisk Analytics an attractive dividend stock, or better left on the shelf? Verisk Analytics has been growing earnings at a rapid rate, and has a conservatively low payout ratio, implying that it is reinvesting heavily in its business; a sterling combination. There's a lot to like about Verisk Analytics, and we would prioritise taking a closer look at it.

Aktien von Verisk Analytics (NASDAQ: VRSK) sind im Laufe des letzten Jahres um fast die Hälfte eingebrochen. Der Datenanalyse-Anbieter für die Versicherungsindustrie hat ein Ziel auf dem Rücken, da Investoren den Einfluss künstlicher Intelligenz (AI) auf seine zuvor robuste Software-Moat berücksichtigen müssen.

Verisk ist seit Jahrzehnten ein wertvoller Partner für die Immobilien- und Haftpflichtversicherungsindustrie. Nach der Abtretung seines Energie-Segments im Jahr 2023 konzentriert sich das Unternehmen auf die Bereitstellung von Daten und Werkzeugen, die Versicherer für die Risikobewertung und -preisfestsetzung, den Anspruchsbearbeitungsprozess und Katastrophenmodellierung verwenden.

Die Märkte befürchten, dass AI die Kern-Datenwerte des Unternehmens kommoditieren und seine langfristigen Wettbewerbsvorteile untergraben könnte. Wenn Versicherer eigene in-house-Analyse-Systeme mit Hilfe von AI-Modellen aufbauen, könnten die hohen Margen von Verisk Geschichte sein.

Ein Daten-Moat auf Basis von Skalenerträgen und Regulierung

Verisks Vorteil kommt aus seinen umfangreichen proprietären Datenbanken, die 39 Milliarden statistische Aufzeichnungen und Daten zu 143 Millionen US-amerikanischen Immobilien enthalten. Diese Skala und das Unternehmenserfahrung im Bereich der Regulierungs-Konformität würden es für jeden potenziellen neuen Konkurrenten schwierig sein, nachzuahmen.

Verisk agiert als lizenziertes "statistisches Agent" für Versicherungsaufsichtsbehörden in allen 50 US-Bundesstaaten. Versicherer verlassen sich auf seine standardisierten Daten zur Erstellung von Policen und zur Rechtfertigung von Tarifen. Dies setzt Verisks Lösungen tief in die Compliance- und Workflow-Prozesse seiner Kunden ein, was hohe Wechselkosten schafft.

AI könnte letztendlich grundlegende Risikobewertungsaufgaben automatisieren, wodurch der Bedarf an einigen Einstiegs-Analysen reduziert wird. Komplexe Katastrophenmodelle bleiben jedoch spezialisiert. Wichtiger ist, dass Regulierungsanträge die Verwendung standardisierter, nachprüfbarer Daten erfordern, was Verisks Spezialität ist.

Verisk wartet nicht ab, um von der Disruption betroffen zu sein. Das Unternehmen hat seine GenAI Commercial Underwriting Assistant und XactAI Anspruchsbearbeitungsautomatisierungstools im letzten Jahr eingeführt, indem es AI in seine eigenen Plattformen integrierte, um die Betrugsfeststellung und Risikobewertungslösungen zu verbessern.

Sind Verisks Margen an der Gnade von AI?
