Highly profitable consumer-cyber franchise growing 27% with 42% operating margins, trading at just 15.4x earnings.
Revenue $5.00B · FY2026
The read
Quality fundamentals and an attractive price line up (~124% below fair value) — the rarer case where both the business and the entry look good.
Gen Digital (Norton, Avast, LifeLock, plus a new financial-wellness arm) is one of the cheapest high-quality software names available. FY2026 revenue grew 27.1% to $5.00B, net income jumped 51.3% to $973M, operating income rose 31.7% to $2.12B, and diluted EPS surged 52.4% to $1.57 — yet the stock trades at only 15.4x earnings and 2.9x sales. The economics are outstanding: a 78.5% gross margin, a 42.4% operating margin and a 37.3% ROE, with $1.54B of operating cash flow against trivial $22M capex, marking this as a capital-light cash machine.
The revenue acceleration reflects the company's push into consumer financial wellness alongside its core cyber-safety subscriptions, broadening a sticky, recurring base of paid memberships. Management is investing in AI and Gen AI to drive organic growth and reduce reliance on third-party technology (R&D up 24.3% to $409M per the 10-K), and is returning capital aggressively — $634M of buybacks (up 133.1%) cut the share count 2.9% and a $312M dividend was maintained.
