Earnings call transcript: Verisign Q3 2026 profit miss weighs on shares

Verisign reported Q3 2026 earnings that missed expectations, with adjusted diluted earnings per share of $2.35 falling short of the $2.46 forecast. Revenue of $443 million slightly exceeded estimates, up 5.7% year over year. The company's domain base grew to a record 182.5 million names, with new registrations hitting a record 13.1 million, a 24% increase from the previous year.
