• Financial results cover the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2026 (quarterly results / earnings release).

Why It Matters
The company’s quarterly results release gives investors the latest earnings and revenue information needed to evaluate short‑term performance (see the attached press release for the full figures). The expanded share repurchase authorization increases VeriSign’s capacity to return capital to shareholders and can reduce outstanding shares over time, which may support per‑share metrics (earnings per share) and provides the board with flexibility on timing and method of purchases. Investors should review the press release for the detailed financials and monitor future filings for actual repurchase activity.
