Analysis
VeriSign, Inc (VRSN) currently trades at $292.53, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $148.23, implying the stock looks roughly 49.3% overvalued today. We read business quality at 83/100 (high quality), in the Technology sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, VeriSign, Inc generated revenue of $1.7B at a net margin of 50.0%. Revenue grew 6.6% year over year. Net debt stands at $1.5B. The stock trades on a trailing P/E of 32.5. Fundamentals as of Jul 12, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $107.08 (bear case) to $189.38 (bull case); at $292.53, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 6% below its 52-week high and 41% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -53% fair-value upside, at -49%, VRSN screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 21 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($165.63) versus Earnings-Based ($59.34). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
