Verisign (NASDAQ: VRSN) released Q3 2021 earnings. Q3 GAAP EPS of $1.40 beats by $0.03. Stock virtually unchanged in after hours trading.

Release:

VeriSign, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Verisign”) reported revenue of $334 million for the third quarter of 2021, up 5.1 percent from the same quarter in 2020. Verisign reported net income of $157 million and diluted earnings per share (diluted “EPS”) of $1.40 for the third quarter of 2021, compared to net income of $171 million and diluted EPS of $1.49 for the same quarter in 2020.
