Distributing a press release in 2025 is no longer about simply appearing online — it’s about reaching real journalists, hitting top-tier syndication networks, and doing so at a fair price. In a field still dominated by expensive legacy providers and fragmented digital platforms, only a handful of companies offer true global impact and editorial credibility.
Should investors follow Buffett's $466 million footsteps in POOL stock? This little-known name has big-time tailwinds behind it that could drive growth.
Shares of domain name registry operator Verisign (NASDAQ:VRSN) fell 8.5% in the morning session after news that major shareholder Berkshire Hathaway sold a significant portion of its stake in the company at a discount. Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway announced it sold 4.3 million shares of the company in a secondary offering. The shares were priced at $285 each, representing a discount of nearly 7% to VeriSign's previous closing price. The sale, which raised approximately $1.23 billion for Berkshire, reduced its ownership stake in VeriSign from 14.2% to 9.6%. The move was primarily motivated by regulatory reasons, as dropping below the 10% ownership threshold allows Berkshire to avoid stricter reporting requirements from the Securities and Exchange Commission. VeriSign itself did not sell any shares in the offering and received no proceeds from the transaction.
The stock nearest and dearest to the Oracle of Omaha's heart has lost more than 10% of its value as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite have surged to new highs.
