What the Analysts think about Gen Digital
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Gen Digital stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Gen Digital stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
AI-enabled scams are fuelling demand for consumer protection: Gen said anxiety about AI fraud was driving new customer acquisition, and it raised its FY27 revenue and profit outlook on stronger demand. (Reuters, Gen Digital)
Gen is getting more value from its customer base through higher-tier memberships and cross-selling: Norton cross-sell penetration reached 27%, while average revenue per user was 8% to 10% higher than two years earlier. (Investing.com)
Strong cash generation gives Gen room to invest, reduce debt and return capital to shareholders. It generated $1.523 billion of free cash flow in FY26, more than 30% of revenue. (Gen Digital)
FY26’s 27% reported revenue growth overstates the underlying pace: pro-forma growth was 9%, and $823 million of the $1.065 billion increase came from the MoneyLion acquisition. That makes sustained growth more dependent on successful integration and expansion of the acquired business. (StockTitan)
Gen competes with free or bundled security from large platforms such as Apple, Google and Microsoft, as well as specialist rivals. The company warns these competitors may price lower or invest more, which could pressure its pricing and customer retention. (StockTitan)
The balance sheet still carries material leverage: Gen reported $8.275 billion of debt principal and 3.0x net leverage at FY26 year-end. That leaves it exposed if cash generation weakens, despite reaching its deleveraging target early. (StockTitan, The Motley Fool)
