VeriSign stock price 2026–2030: scenariosHow are the stock price scenarios calculated? Bear, base and bull prices for the years ahead: the analysts' EPS estimates times the lowest, average and highest P/E of the stock today and at its last five year ends, or of its peers.
If VeriSign's earnings keep growing at the 13.4% a year analysts expect to FY2028, it would earn about 16.53 a share in FY2030. At the P/E it has traded at over the last five years (25.8 to 36.2) that is 427.09 to 598.51 a share, or 501.83 at its average P/E of 30.4. This is arithmetic on the analysts' estimates, not a prediction.
| Fiscal year | EPS | Bear | Base | Bull |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | 9.73 | 251.45 | 295.46 | 352.38 |
| FY2027 | 11.17 | 288.73 | 339.26 | 404.61 |
| FY2028 | 12.85 | 332.05 | 390.16 | 465.33 |
| FY2029 (extrapolated) | 14.57 | 376.58 | 442.49 | 527.74 |
| FY2030 (extrapolated) | 16.53 | 427.09 | 501.83 | 598.51 |
Each year's EPS is the analysts' consensus to FY2028; the years after grow 13.4% a year (the analysts' growth, at most 15%). Bear, base and bull apply the lowest, average and highest P/E of today and the last five fiscal year ends, leaving out any above 60, the mark of a year of collapsed earnings (25.8, 30.4, 36.2).
Is VeriSign stock undervalued or overvalued?How does Arincen work out a stock's fair value? Fair value is our estimate of a share's price at the P/E the company usually trades at, with a low to high range around it.
VeriSign's P/E of 33.6 is near the top of its 5-year range (20.5 to 47.2, median 29.3). Analysts expect faster growth than in recent years, which can explain part of the high P/E. Buyers pay less for each point of growth than usual: a PEG of 2.5 on expected growth against 6.5 on its median P/E and past five years' growth. At its usual P/E (29.3 × EPS of 9.31), VeriSign's fair value is 272.89; the price, 313.15, is 14.8% above it. Its forward P/E, on the consensus for FY2026, is 32.2.
Fair value is the usual (median) P/E of the last five years times the earnings per share of the last twelve months; the ends of the bar are the same earnings at its lowest and highest P/E of those years (20.5 and 47.2). The price against its P/E range
