Summary
Gen Digital disclosed that CEO Vincent Pilette published a LinkedIn post on September 28, 2026 discussing the company's acquisition strategy and financial outlook, in which he declined to comment on rumors that Gen is buying GoDaddy and said Gen raised its fiscal 2027 outlook to 9%-11% revenue growth and mid-to-high-teens non-GAAP EPS growth, with the quarter ending October 2 and the full year tracking to the higher end of guidance.
Key points
- Pilette said Gen considers an acquisition only when it fits strategy, is priced right, creates efficiencies, is accretive, and beats buying back its own stock while maintaining a strong balance sheet.
- Gen credited its Avast acquisition with adding hundreds of millions of active users and its MoneyLion acquisition with expanding into Financial Wellness, saying MoneyLion is on track to deliver more than 30% return on invested capital in its second year.
- Gen said it has grown from $2 billion in revenue and less than $1 of EPS six years ago to more than $5 billion in revenue and nearly $3 of EPS today.
- The outlook is subject to risks and uncertainties, and Gen undertakes no obligation to update it except as required by law.
