Factors to Note Ahead of VeriSign's (VRSN) Q2 Earnings Release
Read MoreHide Full Article
VeriSign, Inc. (VRSN - Free Report) is set to report second-quarter 2022 results on Jul 28, after the closing bell.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings is $1.52 per share, suggesting an increase of 16% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $348.8 million, indicating an increase of 5.9% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
The company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the last four quarters while missing the same once. It has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 3.3%, on average.
Factors to Note
VeriSign’s second-quarter earnings are expected to have benefited from continued healthy growth across .com and .net domain name registrations. The company is expected to have gained from growing Internet consumption globally.
VeriSign ended first-quarter 2022 with 174.7 million .com and .net domain name registrations, up 4% year over year. The company processed 10.2 million new domain name registrations for .com and .net compared with 11.6 million in the year-ago quarter.
Per VeriSign, domain name registrations increased 13.2 million or 3.9% year over year to 350.5 million across all top-level domains at the end of first-quarter 2022. Domain name registrations increased 8.8 million or 2.6% sequentially.
Demand for strong critical Internet infrastructure might have boosted the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
However, escalating operating expenses related to cybersecurity and infrastructure spending are likely to have put pressure on the company’s margins in the to-be-reported quarter. Also, ongoing uncertainty prevailing over the global macroeconomic conditions remains a concern.
