What is the anticipated market demand for the 2030 and 2036 senior notes, and what pricing spreads were observed in the pricing process?
Based on the press release you provided, Verisk Analytics announced the pricing of two senior‑note issues:
| Issue | Size | Coupon | Maturity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2030 Notes | $750 million | 4.500 % | 2030 |
| 2036 Notes | $750 million | 5.125 % | 2036 |
The release states that the notes were “priced” and that closing is expected on August 21, 2025, subject to customary conditions. However, the excerpt you shared does not contain any specific details about:
- Anticipated market demand – e.g., whether demand was “strong,” “oversubscribed,” “moderate,” or any quantitative indication (such as the amount of orders received versus the amount offered).
- Pricing spreads – e.g., the spread over the relevant Treasury benchmark or LIBOR (or SOFR) that was observed in the pricing process for either the 2030 or 2036 notes.
Because those pieces of information are not included in the provided news text, we cannot report the market demand expectations or the exact pricing spreads that were observed. To obtain that information you would need to consult the full press release, an investor presentation, or a subsequent filing (e.g., a Form 8‑K) that typically discloses demand metrics and pricing spreads for debt offerings.
