Gen Digital Surpasses $5B Revenue Milestone as Trust-Based Solutions Fuel Double-Digit Growth
Record Results: FY26 Delivers Strongest Growth in a Decade for Gen Digital
Gen Digital (NASDAQ: GEN) has just reported its boldest financial result in years, crossing the $5 billion revenue mark in fiscal year 2026—a first in company history. The company saw top-line growth of 27%, propelled by robust demand for its Cyber Safety Platform and a surge in Trust-Based Solutions revenue. CEO Vincent Pilette called it “a defining year for Gen,” spotlighting rising momentum as digital safety and financial wellness continue to converge in the age of ‘agentic AI.’
Key Financial Highlights: Revenue, Income, and Cash Flow Accelerate
Gen’s momentum is apparent across both GAAP and non-GAAP results, reflecting disciplined execution and healthy customer demand. Here’s a snapshot of the fiscal year 2026 and Q4 performance:
| Metric | FY26 Full Year | Change YoY | Q4 FY26 | Change YoY |

Non-GAAP bookings rose to $5.1 billion (up 28%), and Q4 non-GAAP EPS climbed 14% to $0.67. The company’s ability to generate strong cash flow underpins both ongoing growth and its regular quarterly dividend of $0.125 per share.
Trust-Based Solutions Lead Expansion as Paid Customers Jump to 79 Million
Notably, Gen saw its Trust-Based Solutions revenue more than double year-over-year—from $759 million in FY25 to $1.66 billion in FY26—demonstrating the growing importance of financial wellness alongside cybersecurity. Coupled with steady direct and partner sales, Gen’s customer base also leapt, adding 11 million paid users for a total of 79 million by April 2026.

Outlook Raised: FY27 Guidance Points to Continued Double-Digit Growth
Building on this momentum, Gen lifted its guidance for FY27. The company expects revenue to reach between $5.33 and $5.43 billion and non-GAAP EPS to land in the $2.85 - $2.95 range, signaling ongoing confidence in demand for its expanded platform. Q1 guidance also projects revenue of $1.30 - $1.33 billion and EPS of $0.68 - $0.70.
Balance Sheet Remains Robust Despite Active Capital Allocation
Gen closed the year with a cash position of $411 million and stockholders’ equity of $2.61 billion, reflecting strong business performance even as it continued shareholder returns through dividends and share repurchases. Operating cash flows, ongoing investments, and prudent debt management continue to reinforce its financial stability.

With 16% more paid customers, robust double-digit revenue growth, and a clear roadmap for continued expansion, the company appears positioned to maintain leadership in the digital security and financial empowerment sectors.
