Gen Digital reported a strong close to fiscal 2026, with sales growing 27% to $5 billion and its adjusted earnings per share up 14% to $0.67. The firm's 2027 outlook calls for sales growth of 7.5% and adjusted EPS growth of 13%, both at the midpoint of the guidance range.
Gen's bundling offers allow the company to land and expand customers that want one unified vendor for their security and identity protection needs.
Like any company in consumer security, Gen faces a tough pricing environment across its end markets.
