Rhea AI GEN FY2025 2026-05-21

Gen Digital’s high-gross-margin cash engine funds the business efficiently, but a debt- and goodwill-heavy balance sheet absorbs much of the benefit.

In the latest year, operating margin jumped to 40.9% from 29.2% even though revenue was nearly flat, pointing to a cost-base reset rather than meaningfully richer revenue economics. Because net margin still sat at only 16.3%, a large share of that operating improvement was still consumed below the line by the interest burden of an acquisition-shaped balance sheet.

The business turns accounting profit into cash unusually well: operating cash flow of $1.2B was far above net income of $643M in the latest year. Combined with very low receivables for a company of this sales base, that suggests cash is collected quickly and everyday operations need little working capital, more like a membership stream than a receivables-heavy seller.

The balance sheet still carries the imprint of past deals, with goodwill at $10.2B and long-term debt at $8.0B. That helps explain why a business with an gross margin of 80.3% and $1.0B of cash can still look liquidity-tight: debt service remains one of the main claimants on the cash engine.

Profitability

100

GEN DIGITAL INC has an operating margin of 42.4%, meaning the company retains $42 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This strong profitability earns a score of 100/100, reflecting efficient cost management and pricing power. This is up from 40.9% the prior year.

Leverage

GEN DIGITAL INC has a moderate D/E ratio of 3.07. This balance of debt and equity financing earns a leverage score of 39/100.

Liquidity

GEN DIGITAL INC's current ratio of 0.40 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 2/100. This tight liquidity could limit financial flexibility if cash inflows slow.

Altman Z-Score Distress

1.36

GEN DIGITAL INC scores 1.36, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($14.9B) relative to total liabilities ($13.0B). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.

7/9

GEN DIGITAL INC passes 7 of 9 financial strength tests. All 4 profitability signals pass (positive income, cash flow, and earnings quality), 2 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, 1 of 2 efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

1.59x

For every $1 of reported earnings, GEN DIGITAL INC generates $1.59 in operating cash flow ($1.5B OCF vs $973.0M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage Adequate

3.7x

GEN DIGITAL INC earns $3.7 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($2.1B vs $569.0M). This adequate coverage means the company can meet its interest obligations, but has limited cushion if earnings fall.
