  "summary": "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. However, higher expenses and a one-time operating loss impacted profitability, with operating income up 4.2% year over year but flat sequentially, and net income remaining unchanged at $213 million. Despite the profit miss, Verisign's gross profit margins remained strong at 88.47%.",
