Delaware Court Orders Verisk to Complete $2.35B AccuLynx Deal
Synopsis
A judge ruled Verisk wrongly terminated the acquisition of the roofing software company, finding its own conduct caused the deal to fail and requiring it to move forward with the transaction.
The Verisk AccuLynx Deal is on track after a Delaware judge ordered the company to try to finalize the $2.35 billion purchase of AccuLynx, which provides software to roofing contractors.
According to the ruling, the termination of the deal by Verisk was unlawful, and the company must pay the damages, including direct costs and interest, to AccuLynx. The case came up after Verisk rescinded the contract voluntarily about seven months earlier.
Meanwhile, the FTC will review whether the deal is appropriate to proceed.
The Verisk deal was disclosed as an all-cash offer in July 2025. Initially, both companies expected the deal to close during Q3. However, the FTC requested additional information from Verisk and AccuLynx to investigate the merger.
The agreement was formally terminated by both parties in December after the FTC was not able to finish the review by the contractual 26th of December.
AccuLynx challenged the termination decision by Verisk in Delaware, and the latest ruling was issued. The $2.35 billion Verisk-AccuLynx purchase still needs to pass the FTC review to close the deal.
Meanwhile, it is reported that as Verisk Enters reported its record revenue of $3.07 billion in 2025.
Verisk acquisition of AcuLynx is one of the company’s strategic initiatives in 2025 to further develop its position as a top provider of insurance data and analytics in the U.S. and international markets
The company reported total revenues of $3.07 billion, which increased by 6.6%, and had net income of $908 in 2025 and operating cash flow of $1.44 billion. The company's expected revenue for 2026 is between $3.19 billion and $3.24 billion, respectively.
Additionally, the company has sold $1.5 billion in senior notes for the purchase. It canceled the deal and paid off the entire principal amount of shares of stock in January 2026.
With the recent Delaware ruling, the Verisk AccuLynx purchase moves on to the FTC review for the second time.
