Analysis

Bargain bin

Gen Digital Inc. is priced cheaply, and that invites the natural question of why, since the underlying business scores below average.

On valuation, the picture is attractive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 12.1×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around -0% a year, against analyst forecasts of 15%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

Growth is moderate; the safety picture is fragile. The company scores 20/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.

Flags to be aware of: A large part of the company's book value is the price paid for past acquisitions. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
