What the data says

An overview of the public data behind GEN.

At $29.01, the stock closes near the upper end of its 52-week range of $17.78 to $31.65 — roughly 8% below the high and well above the low. That range is wide relative to the current price: the span between extremes is close to half the stock's present value, so the past year has involved a substantial move rather than a narrow drift. A beta of 1.22 places its typical day-to-day movement somewhat above that of the broad market.

The market values the business at about $17.4 billion, or roughly 17 times trailing earnings. The forward multiple of 8.8 is considerably lower, which reflects earnings expectations above the trailing figure rather than anything visible in past results. Price to book sits at 6.5, a gap that is common where reported assets understate the value carried in brands and software. Underneath the multiples, the company converts about 20.7% of revenue into profit, while revenue grew 6.3% over the comparable period — profitability at a level well ahead of the top-line growth rate. A dividend yield of 1.72% accompanies that.

Recent coverage splits between company-specific items and broader market pieces. The company's own news includes Q3 FY26 results reported in February 2026 alongside raised full-year guidance, and a best-in-class placement in Javelin Strategy & Research's 2026 scorecard for direct-to-consumer identity protection. The rest is more peripheral: a September 2026 stock-screening comparison article, a general market wrap in which the company was not the subject, and two items about former Norton and LifeLock executives taking roles at other firms. There is little in the flow pointing to a single unresolved development.
