Where VRSN is headed
VeriSign is the closest thing to a regulated utility that trades like a software stock. Every .com and .net domain on Earth pays this company a fee, roughly 170 million of them, and the contract structure with ICANN and the US Department of Commerce lets VeriSign raise .com prices 7% in four of every six years through 2030. That is a pricing escalator written into the foundation of the consumer internet, and it runs whether AI eats search, whether crypto eats finance, or whether TikTok eats attention. The domain is still the address.
