Fundamentals
Passive Flow Attribution
ETF Draft EffectWhen investors buy or sell ETFs like ONEV or ONEO, the fund manager is mechanically forced to buy or sell VRSN shares regardless of VRSN's individual fundamentals. We estimate $3.4B of passive capital is structurally linked to VRSN through 8 tracked ETFs. Index rebalances and ETF creation/redemption cycles can create noticeable volume spikes unrelated to company news.
Passive exposure = Σ (ETF AUM × stock weight in ETF) across 8 tracked ETFs. Actual passive ownership is larger (includes mutual funds). Not investment advice.
ETF Contagion Visualizer
Simulate a price drop in VRSN to visualize passive redemption contagion across ETFs and collateral stocks.
If VRSN (VRSN) experiences a significant drawdown, ETF redemptions can create collateral selling pressure on co-held stocks. Our model identifies Seagate Technology Holdings plc (STX) as the most exposed collateral stock, sharing 2 ETFs with VRSN. This is the "Passive Contagion" effect described in the Inelastic Market Hypothesis.
Contagion model based on shared ETF exposure and constituent weights across 27 tracked ETFs. Estimated selling pressure is a simplified model — actual impact depends on market liquidity, ETF redemption mechanics, and market-maker activity.
VRSN Ownership Dynamics
ETFs with Highest VRSN Exposure
Float lock-up computed from 28 ETFs tracked by SecuritiesDB. Actual passive ownership is higher (includes mutual funds, pension funds, etc.).
VRSN Capital Efficiency
How efficiently does VRSN convert operating profits into free cash? The FCF Conversion ratio measures the gap between accounting earnings and real cash generation.
VRSN converts 91% of its EBITDA into free cash flow, an exceptional conversion rate indicating an asset-light business model with minimal capital reinvestment drag.
Capital efficiency = Free Cash Flow ÷ EBITDA. Reinvestment = (EBITDA − FCF) ÷ EBITDA. Metrics from latest annual filings. Not investment advice.
Fails-to-Deliver (FTD) History
SEC-reported settlement failures. Elevated FTDs can indicate high short-selling pressure, operational settlement issues, or naked shorting activity.
