Strong Fundamentals
Based in Reston, VA, VeriSign Inc. provides Internet infrastructure services, including domain name registry services and infrastructure assurance services. Its only reportable segment includes Registry Services.
The renewal of the .com contract and price hikes for the .com and .net domain names remain drivers of VeriSign’s top-line growth. An expected increase in domain name base is the key catalyst. The company is expected to benefit from growing Internet consumption globally.
On Jul 1, 2022, VeriSign announced that domain name registrations increased 13.2 million or 3.9% year over year to 350.5 million across all top-level domains at the end of first-quarter 2022. Domain name registrations increased 8.8 million or 2.6% sequentially.
