Analysis
Gen Digital Inc (GEN) currently trades at $28.10, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $26.17, implying the stock looks roughly 6.9% fairly valued today. We read business quality at 66/100 (solid quality), in the Technology sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: 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 Jul 14, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $16.12 (bear case) to $40.38 (bull case); at $28.10, 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 11% below its 52-week high and 59% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -53% fair-value upside, at -7%, 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 ($27.24) versus Asset-Based ($2.90). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
