Something wrong in this statement – “Verisign, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRSN) reported that its annual Revenue increased from $680.58 million in 2010 to $771.98 million in 2011, while its Net Income fell from $830.97 million in 2010 to $142.89 million in 2011.”
They couldn’t have had $830m in net income from a $680m in revenue. Must be $380 or something.
I still don’t see why profits decreased when revenue increased… maybe I’m missing something.
I forgot about it – didn’t you? Verisign sold Symantec!
