Gen Digital’s Strong Growth Potential and Strategic Partnerships Drive Buy Rating

Wells Fargo analyst Andrew Nowinski has reiterated their bullish stance on GEN stock, giving a Buy rating on May 7.

Andrew Nowinski has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Gen Digital’s strong performance and growth potential. The company’s total revenue growth is accelerating, which is expected to enhance earnings per share growth. This positive outlook is supported by a 5% year-over-year increase in bookings during the fourth quarter of 2025, with key metrics such as average revenue per user and customer cross-sell momentum showing stability or improvement.
Additionally, partner revenue grew by 15% year-over-year, driven by strategic partnerships in employee benefits and telecommunications. While the MoneyLion acquisition’s growth assumptions are still being finalized, management anticipates double-digit growth in the fiscal year 2026, with plans to expand MoneyLion’s operating margin to over 20%. These factors, combined with operational efficiencies and cost reduction strategies, underpin Nowinski’s optimistic Buy rating for Gen Digital.

According to TipRanks, Nowinski is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 15.9% and a 54.87% success rate. Nowinski covers the Technology sector, focusing on stocks such as Check Point, Gen Digital, and MongoDB.

In another report released on May 7, Bank of America Securities also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $33.00 price target.
