Analysis
Gen Digital Inc (GEN) currently trades at $29.57, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $33.50, implying the stock looks roughly 13.3% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 69/100 (solid quality), in the Technology sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.
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 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $16.00 (bear case) to $56.53 (bull case); at $29.57, 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 6% below its 52-week high and 67% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -59% fair-value upside, at 13%, GEN screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted 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.
All 26 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($35.15) versus Asset-Based ($2.90). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
