20 years of fundamentals

The business, in plain English

VERISIGN INC/CA booked $1.7B of revenue in FY2025 in the Technology sector and kept 88.2% of it as gross profit — a high-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, 49.8% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.

Across the filed record, revenue grew from $850.5M (FY2007) to $1.7B (FY2025) — about 3.8% a year compounded over 18 years.

The balance sheet carried $0 of total debt in FY2013. Balance-Sheet Safety scores it 59/100.

The share count fell 52.0% between FY2008 and FY2025 — management has been retiring shares, which concentrates each remaining owner's claim. Capital Discipline scores it 81/100.

This breakdown is generated from the filed numbers and sub-scores above — no outside narrative, no estimates. Where a filing doesn’t disclose an input, the sentence that would need it is omitted instead of guessed.
