Stock Track05-08

Gen Digital Inc. (GEN) experienced a significant surge of 6.34% in after-hours trading on Thursday. The cybersecurity company's stock soared following the release of its quarterly financial results.

The movement was driven by the company reporting better-than-expected fiscal fourth-quarter results. Gen Digital posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.67, surpassing the analyst consensus estimate of $0.65. Revenue for the quarter reached $1.283 billion, also beating expectations of $1.246 billion and representing a 27% year-over-year increase.

Furthermore, the company raised its financial outlook for fiscal year 2027, forecasting revenue between $5.33 billion and $5.43 billion and adjusted EPS in the range of $2.85 to $2.95, both above Wall Street estimates. Management attributed the strong performance to healthy demand for its Cyber Safety Platform, fueled by growing consumer concerns over AI-driven hacking and data breaches.
