Launch Catch-Up — Results Announced October 22, 2026
Verisign reported third-quarter revenue of $443 million, up 5.7% from a year earlier, in its October 22 earnings release filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The internet registry operator reported approximately $213 million in net income, little changed from the prior-year quarter. Operating income increased to about $296 million from $284 million, while operating cash declined to $268 million from $308 million.
Its .com and .net domain base reached 182.5 million registrations at quarter-end, up 6.1% over the year and a net increase of 3.36 million during the quarter.
Verisign processed 13.1 million new .com and .net registrations, compared with 10.6 million a year earlier. New registrations differ from the net increase because expiring or deleted domains also affect the total base.
The company reported a second-quarter renewal rate of 75.2%, down from 75.5%. That figure covers an earlier quarter because renewal rates require additional time to measure fully.
