What matters now

Price vs Fair Value (5 years)
White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 22, 2026.
How to read this chart
60‑month range $14.44 – $31.54 · fair‑value band $16.00 – $56.53 · the $31.33 price screens below the $33.50 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). 1 fiscal year is left out: there the valuation rested on only a fraction of the usual models. Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 22, 2026.
Analysis
Gen Digital Inc. (GEN) currently trades at $31.33, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $33.50, implying the stock looks roughly 6.5% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 68/100 (solid quality), in the Technology sector. Bull case: the DCF Models group reads highest at a median of $35.15 per share, and 14 of the 26 models we run sit above the $31.33 price. Bear case: the Dividend Discount group reads lowest at $8.34, and 12 of the 26 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.
Over the trailing twelve months, Gen Digital Inc. generated revenue of $5.0B at a net margin of 19.5%. Revenue grew 27.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 39.9%. Net debt stands at $7.9B. Fundamentals as of Aug 22, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $16.00 (bear case) to $56.53 (bull case); at $31.33, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat. The share trades about 1% below its 52-week high and 77% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at −32% fair-value upside, at 7%, GEN screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
This estimate rests on fiscal year 2026 figures, and about 5 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly $0.4602 per share, which is 1.4 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
All 26 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($35.15) versus Asset-Based ($2.90). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (76).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 62 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 61
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
