Frequently asked questions
What is Gen Digital Inc.'s stock price?
Gen Digital Inc. (GEN) trades at $27.63, on a P/E of 17.0x and a P/S of 3.2x. Those multiples show what the market is paying for each dollar of earnings and sales, which is the real starting point for judging whether the price is reasonable.
Is Gen Digital Inc. overvalued?
Gen Digital Inc. carries a Smart Value Score of 76/100 (Grade B+), which we rate Buy. That score blends growth, quality, and valuation into one read. On valuation specifically, our conservative DCF puts intrinsic value at $18.08 against the $27.63 price, so on cash flow terms the market is paying a premium for Gen Digital Inc.'s growth. The Buy rating reflects that growth and quality, while the DCF flags that the price already assumes a lot.
What is the price target of Gen Digital Inc. (GEN)?
The 12-month analyst consensus target is $29.71, about 7.5% above the current $27.63. A consensus target is the average of Wall Street's 12-month forecasts, so it works as a sentiment gauge rather than a guarantee, and it resets with every earnings cycle.
What is the intrinsic value of Gen Digital Inc. (GEN)?
Our DCF model estimates intrinsic value at $18.08, a -36.5% margin of safety versus today's $27.63. Intrinsic value is what the projected cash flows are worth today. A negative reading means the price is running ahead of that conservative estimate, leaving little downside cushion if growth slows.
What is Gen Digital Inc.'s revenue?
Gen Digital Inc.'s trailing twelve-month revenue is $5.00B. Revenue scale anchors the valuation multiples and shows whether growth is reaching the top line, so it is best read alongside margin and growth trends to see if that revenue is getting more profitable over time.
Altman Z-Score?
Gen Digital Inc.'s Altman Z-Score is 0.54, which places it in the distress. The Altman Z-Score gauges bankruptcy risk from profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency, and a higher reading points to lower financial distress risk.
