Verisign Inc. stock (ISIN US92343E1029) closed at USD 302.05 on Nasdaq on September 17, 2026, leaving the shares close to the upper end of their range and well above the 52-week low of USD 208.86. According to MarketBeat, that same session came with about 656,931 shares traded and a market capitalization of about USD 27.28 billion.

Q2 2026 still anchors the story

Verisign reported Q2 2026 revenue of USD 434.60 million and earnings per share of USD 2.38, up from USD 409.90 million and USD 2.21 a year earlier, according to finanzen.ch. The year-over-year revenue gain was 6.03 percent, and the EPS increase was USD 0.17.

That same report said analysts now expect a full-year 2026 dividend of USD 2.83 after USD 2.31 in 2025, while the next quarterly report is expected on October 22, 2026. The schedule gives investors a clear date for the next update on renewal trends and cash generation.

Analyst view stays constructive

According to MarketBeat, the consensus analyst price target stands at USD 333.00, which is about 10.3 percent above the September 17 close. The same overview shows consensus Buy coverage, with the stock still trading around 3.3 percent below that target.

For investors, the key point is the gap between a USD 302.05 Nasdaq close and a USD 333.00 consensus target, set against a 52-week high of USD 312.48. That combination leaves Verisign in a valuation band where earnings follow-through matters more than broad market sentiment.

Price stays near the peak

As of September 17, 2026, Verisign stock was trading between its 52-week low of USD 208.86 and 52-week high of USD 312.48, with the closing price at USD 302.05 on Nasdaq. The stock therefore sat only a small distance below its peak while still carrying a double-digit upside gap to the consensus target.
