Based on the fiscal year ended 31 March 2026
The sector median covers every company in the sector on the US market, loss-making ones included.
Gen Digital sells protection to individuals — antivirus, identity monitoring and insurance against identity theft.
The company gathered several well-known consumer security brands under one roof. The model is subscription-based and remarkably inert: the user renews automatically and does not revisit the decision for years, while cancelling requires a deliberate act. Hence high renewal rates and predictable revenue.
The weak point is the market itself: protection built into operating systems became sufficient for most people, and what has to be sold is no longer antivirus but services around personal data. That is where the company is shifting, having added personal finance management as well. Risks: a shrinking subscriber base and debt from acquisitions. A dividend is paid.
