Insights

The latest domain registration data reveals concerning trends for VeriSign's core business. The combined .com and .net registrations dropped by 2.5% year-over-year, with the total base declining to 169.6 million. This decrease of 4.4 million registrations represents a notable contraction in VeriSign's primary revenue stream.

The decline in new .com and .net registrations from 9.9 million to 9.3 million year-over-year suggests weakening demand. While the overall domain market shows slight growth of 0.8%, VeriSign's market share appears to be eroding, with country-code TLDs gaining ground, showing 1.4% growth. This shift could impact VeriSign's market position and pricing power in the domain registry business.
