Berkshire sells VeriSign stake
VeriSign announced that affiliates of Berkshire Hathaway are selling 4.3 million shares of its common stock at $285 per share through J.P. Morgan, aiming to drop below the 10% ownership threshold and ease regulatory burdens. The company receives no proceeds, as it's a secondary offering. Closing is set for July 30, 2025. Remaining shares face a 365-day lock-up.

Q2 FY2025 results
Verisign's Q2 revenues climbed 6% year-over-year to $409.9 million, fueled by .com and .net price hikes, while operating income edged up 5% to $280.7 million with gross margins holding steady around 88%. Diluted EPS rose to $2.21 from $2.01, backed by 94.0 million shares, as non-operating income dipped but taxes eased slightly. Cash from operations surged 18% to $493.8 million for the half-year, yielding $480.2 million in free cash flow after $13.6 million capex (derived), bolstering $314.3 million in cash equivalents and $279.5 million in marketable securities. The firm refinanced $500 million notes due 2032 at 5.25%, maintaining $1.79 billion long-term debt and full $200 million revolver access. Revenues grew across U.S. (66%) and EMEA (17%), yet domain base ticked down 0.1% to 170.5 million. Share buybacks trimmed outstanding shares to 93.6 million. Competition from ccTLDs and social media curbs domain demand.
