VERISIGN INC/CA is expected to release its Q2 2026 10-Q filing in the upcoming earnings season. Last quarter: VeriSign delivered solid Q1 FY2026 results with revenue up 6.6% YoY to $428.9M and operating margin expanding to 68.5%, though the company's deeply negative stockholders' equity and current ratio well below 1.0x reflect its aggressive capital return program.
Drawn from management commentary in the Q1 2026 10-Q:
Total revenue grew 6.6% YoY to $428.9M in Q1 FY2026, up from $402.3M in the prior-year period, reflecting VeriSign's pricing power and continued demand for .com and .net domain registrations under its registry agreements.
Operating income rose 8.3% YoY to $293.6M, pushing operating margin to 68.5% from 67.4% a year ago. Cost of revenue was essentially flat at $49.2M (-0.4% YoY), demonstrating the highly scalable, low-variable-cost nature of VeriSign's business model.
VeriSign returned approximately $299.6M to shareholders in Q1 FY2026 through $225.4M in share buybacks and $74.2M in dividends (the prior-year period had no dividends paid), reflecting the company's commitment to returning virtually all free cash flow to investors.
