Gen Digital Q1 FY27: revenue $1.336 billion, EPS beat, guidance raised
Gen Digital beat on both lines and raised full-year guidance, so we read the quarter as Bullish. Revenue of $1.336 billion came in above the guided range and non-GAAP EPS of $0.71 edged the $0.6988 consensus. Two caveats matter: GAAP operating income of $443 million slipped 1.0%, and the Cyber Safety Platform segment shrank to $846 million from $869 million. Free cash flow of $430 million funded $181 million of buybacks and dividends.
