Is VeriSign Stock Underperforming the S&P 500?

With a market cap of $22.2 billion, VeriSign, Inc. (VRSN) is a global provider of internet infrastructure and domain name registry services that enable reliable navigation across widely used domain names. The company operates critical internet functions, including maintaining two of the thirteen root servers and providing registration and authoritative resolution for .com and .net domains that power global e-commerce. 

Companies valued at $10 billion or more are generally considered "large-cap" stocks, and VeriSign fits this criterion perfectly. VeriSign also manages directories such as .name and .cc and supports back-end systems for domains like .edu.
