Movement Alert｜VeriSign Falls 6.97% in After-Hours Trading, Q3 EPS Miss Weighs on Shares

Market Focus10-23

On October 23, VeriSign fell 6.97% in After-Hours Trading, trading at $284.3807 per share, with turnover of $5.5982 million.

The move followed the company’s third-quarter earnings release showing EPS of $2.35, below the FactSet consensus estimate of $2.46, which appears to be the direct catalyst behind the after-hours weakness.

Earlier expectations had been for modest revenue growth and resilient performance in its core domain registration and naming services business. In the prior quarter, the company reported revenue of $435 million, up 6.03% year over year, gross margin of 88.50%, net income of $217 million, and adjusted EPS of $2.38. Against that backdrop, the latest EPS shortfall pressured short-term sentiment despite generally steady expectations heading into the report.
