Gen Digital Inc. said it recently raised its fiscal 2027 outlook to 9%-11% revenue growth and mid- to high-teens non-GAAP EPS growth.

He said those standards guided acquisitions including Avast and MoneyLion. Avast added hundreds of millions of active users; MoneyLion is on track to deliver more than 30% return on invested capital in its second year.
Pilette compared revenue of $2 billion and less than $1 in EPS six years ago with more than $5 billion in revenue and nearly $3 in EPS today. Gen said it will continue building through innovation, partnerships, and carefully selected acquisitions that meet its standards.
