Moniker lost, PublicDomainRegistry gained.
ICANN has published official registry reports from September (always three months in arrears), showing that Moniker dropped below one million .com domain names registered.
The chart below shows the ten domain name registrars with the most successful .com transfers out, and then compares this against the number of successful .com transfers in. Registrars that “won” for the month will have a blue column taller than the red one.
.Com September Successful Transfers
*Includes GoDaddy.com and Wild West Domains, ^Includes Network Solutions and Register.com, chart excludes UK-2 and NameKing because transfers appear to be related to registrar operations.
Moniker lost 26,681 .com domain names to transfers, marking an escalating trend since it switched to a new platform early in the summer. The transfer losses combined with low new registrations led the registrar below the million .com domain mark. It ended the month with 973,761.
eNom and PublicDomainRegistry appear to be the winners for the month.

How about Name.com registrar?
Andrew Allemann says
They lost 2,395, gained 7,545. I guess it would be fair to lump them in with eNom.
Drake says
Moniker failed it’s customers big time, and continues to pay for it’s silence. RIP
Domainer Extraordinaire says
Moniker went from one of the best to one of, if not, THE worst.
