Verisign stock was last at USD 293.10 on the Nasdaq on October 6, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, while Verisign (ISIN US92343E1029) heads toward its next quarterly report. The company will publish its third-quarter 2026 results on October 22, 2026, with an earnings teleconference at 4:30 p.m. EDT, according to StockTitan on October 1, 2026.

October 22 sets the next test

The scheduled report follows a second quarter in which revenue reached USD 434.6 million, up 6.0 percent from the year-ago period. Diluted EPS rose to USD 2.38 from USD 2.21, a 7.7 percent increase, according to Financial Report Insights in its Q2 2026 analysis published on September 28, 2026.

The operating margin was 68.2 percent in Q2 2026, compared with 68.5 percent a year earlier. That combination gives the October report a clear test: registration volume must continue to offset the effect of a modest margin decline.

Domain growth drives revenue

Verisign added 12.7 million new .com and .net registrations in Q2 2026, versus 10.4 million in the same quarter of 2025. The domain name base reached 179.1 million names, up 5.1 percent year over year, making volume the central operating comparison behind the revenue gain.

Full-year 2026 revenue guidance stands at USD 1.745 billion to USD 1.755 billion, while domain base growth guidance is 5.2 percent to 6.0 percent. The range was raised from USD 1.730 billion to USD 1.745 billion in the earlier outlook, so the October report will show whether the improved registration trend is holding.

Consensus stays above the stock

According to Yahoo Finance on October 5, 2026, five analysts assign Verisign a Moderate Buy consensus rating and an average price target of USD 334.25. The target lies 14.0 percent above the USD 293.10 Nasdaq price used here.

The market value was USD 26.5 billion on October 6, 2026. The 52-week range was USD 208.86 to USD 312.48, placing the latest price 6.2 percent below the yearly high and 40.3 percent above the yearly low.

Verisign stock awaits the report

Verisign stock was last at USD 293.10 on the Nasdaq on October 6, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, up 0.29 percent on the session. The October 22 results will connect the current valuation with registration growth, guidance and the next renewal-rate update.
