Description: GEN Gen Digital October 16, 2025

Gen Digital Inc. (NASDAQ: GEN) provides cyber-safety solutions to consumers, families and small businesses through a portfolio that includes Norton, Avast, LifeLock, MoneyLion, Avira, AVG and CCleaner. The firm’s offerings span security and performance management, identity protection, online privacy and a technology platform. Formerly NortonLifeLock, the company rebranded to Gen Digital in November 2022 and is headquartered in Tempe, Arizona.

Key metrics from the most recent fiscal year show revenue of roughly $2.2 billion, with an adjusted EBITDA margin near 15 % and a subscriber base exceeding 50 million paid users. Growth is being driven by rising consumer demand for privacy tools and the broader macro trend of increasing corporate cybersecurity spend, which the IDC forecasts to grow at a CAGR of ~12 % through 2027. A notable sector pressure is the tightening of data-protection regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA), which tends to boost demand for identity-theft protection services.
