Read MoreHide Full Article
VeriSign, Inc (VRSN - Free Report) is set to report third-quarter 2023 results on Oct 26, after the closing bell.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings and revenues is pegged at $1.74 per share and $373.8 million, suggesting increases of 10.1% and 4.7%, respectively, from the year-ago quarter’s reported figures.
The company’s earnings beat the consensus estimate in all the last four quarters, the average beat being 5.2%.
VeriSign’s third-quarter earnings are expected to have benefited from continued healthy growth across .com and .net domain name registrations. It is expected to have gained from growing Internet consumption globally. The company’s efforts to expand its critical infrastructure to tap the growing demand for DNS navigation services in industries like commerce, education and healthcare bode well.
VRSN ended second-quarter 2023 with 174.4 million .com and .net domain name registrations, up 0.1% year over year. Our estimate for domain name base for the third quarter is pegged at 175.6 million, representing a rise of 0.8% year over year.
In the last reported quarter, the company processed 10.2 million new domain name registrations for .com and .net compared with 10.1 million in the year-ago quarter. Our estimate for new domain name registrations for the third quarter is pegged at 9.6 million.
Also, escalating operating expenses related to cybersecurity and infrastructure spending are likely to have weighed on the company’s third-quarter operating margin on a year-over-year basis.
