From the record

Return on equity: in the fiscal year ended 2025-12-31, VeriSign, Inc.'s shareholders' equity was below zero, so the profit on it is not read, and gross profitability: its products earned about 110 cents per dollar of everything the company owns (revenue less the cost of revenue). Leverage: it owed about 262 cents per dollar of assets, and net share issuance: its share count shrank 4.5% over the year (the filed statements).

From the record

VeriSign, Inc.'s leadership, from its insiders' filings and its current reports: the chief executive on the record is Bidzos, D James (Exec. Chairman, Pres, & CEO, as filed), filing under that title since 2016-02-12, 10.8 years (top 4% of its family); the 11 officers and directors filing in the last fifteen months have been on the record a median of 11.8 years (top 6%); 8 officer or director changes were reported on Form 8-K since 2023-11-13, against the 11 people in charge now (top 37%; fewer changes for each person reads higher) (the Form 4 record, its Form 8-K reports). Years count from a person's first filing in the SEC's data sets, which begin in 2006, so each is a floor.

From the record

VeriSign, Inc.'s room to grow, from the newest filed statements (fiscal 2025): cash of $308 million against no long-term debt tagged leaves 23.2% of its assets as net cash, top 26% of its family; cash from operations less capital spending is 64.5% of revenue (top 2%); a gross margin of 88.2% (top 5%); research spending of 6.3% of revenue (bottom 38%) (its annual report).

From the record
