Significance 4/10

VRSN: D. James Bidzos sold 9,000 shares for $2,236,081.72 over three days (Jan 13-15) at blended avg $248.45.

D. James Bidzos, Exec. Chairman, Pres, & CEO, executed 14 separate sales totaling 9,000 shares for $2,236,081.72 across January 13-15, 2026, reducing his holdings from 421.1K shares to 412.1K shares (-2.1%). The sales were distributed across three trading days at prices ranging from $246.17 to $251.08, with a blended average of $248.45. The current stock price of $249.22 sits -18.6% from the 52-week high of $305.98 and is up 2.9% over 30 days. Bidzos's cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior open-market sales with an average 30-day return of +2.3%, though his same-ticker history at VRSN (5 prior sales on Dec 17-18) have outcomes not yet measurable. Without disclosure of a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan or scheduled liquidation program, the pattern of multiple tranches over consecutive days is reportable but within the normal discretionary range for executive liquidations, and the sale scale represents a modest -2.1% portfolio reduction that does not suggest material conviction about near-term weakness.

BIDZOS D JAMES executed 15 separate sales totaling 9,000 shares for $2,196,035.81 between December 9–11, with a blended average price of $244.00. This sale reduces his holdings by 2.0% (from 439.1K to 430.1K shares), representing a modest reduction in a substantial position held by the company's top executive. The sales occurred across three trading days with prices ranging from $239.63 to $250.14, with the stock currently trading at $244.07—roughly in line with the transaction prices.

VeriSign CEO James Bidzos sold 9,000 shares for $2.2M across 10 transactions (Nov 18–20), reducing holdings by 2.0%

CEO James Bidzos executed 10 separate sales totaling 9,000 shares for $2,238,530.73 ($2.2M) over three trading days, with a blended average price of $248.73.

VeriSign demonstrates solid fundamentals with quarterly revenue of $419,100,000.00, net income of $212,800,000.00, and annual revenue growth of 4.3%, though the P/E of 28.39 suggests premium valuation. Bidzos has a track record of 20 prior open-market sells across all tickers, and five prior sales at VRSN on 2025-11-13 whose outcomes are not yet measurable. The concentration of sales over three consecutive days during a period of stock weakness and the substantial dollar volume warrant attention to whether further portfolio moves may follow.

CEO/Chair James Bidzos sells 9,000 VRSN shares (9.0K) for $2.2M over 3 days at $249.88 avg; reduces holdings by 2.0%

His post-transaction holdings stand at 449.4K shares, a reduction of 2.0% from the prior level of 458.4K shares. Notably, this sale occurs as VRSN's stock is -17.8% from its 52-week high and down 5.1% over the prior 30 days, suggesting the CEO executed the sales during a period of recent price weakness. The multi-day, multi-lot structure across distinct price points reflects a disciplined execution rather than a single impulse, consistent with his prior 5 recent sells at this ticker (all on or before October 23), indicating an ongoing pattern of equity reduction by the company's top executive.

CEO Bidzos sells 9,000 VRSN shares (9.0K) over 3 days for $2,359,654.20, stock down 18.1% from 52-week high and 12.6% in 30 days

The timing of these sales coincides with significant price weakness: VRSN is trading 18.1% below its 52-week high of $305.98 and has declined 12.6% over the prior 30 days and 18.0% over 90 days, creating a context of downward momentum. Bidzos retained 458,438 shares post-transaction, representing a 1.9% reduction in his holdings. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sells with an average 30-day return of -8.2%, though prior VRSN-specific outcomes remain unmeasurable. The concentration of large block sales (1,789, 1,629, and 1,582 shares on October 21) during a period of material price decline warrants investor attention to the company's near-term trajectory.
