- Saturday, May 11, 2:22 PM EMC showed off plenty of new software at its EMC World conference, but was light on hardware news. In addition to its ViPR storage management platform, EMC unveiled: 1) An OS update for its Isilon scale-out NAS systems (competes with NTAP) that adds support for data deduplication and the Hadoop big data framework. 2) A Data Protection Suite (competes with SYMC and CVLT) that ties together existing backup/archive software, while allowing for more flexible licensing. 3) The addition of hybrid cloud support for its Syncplicity cloud file-syncing platform. EMC wants to make clear it won't get left behind as a growing amount of storage industry value shifts to software, with much of it residing on servers rather than storage arrays. 1 Comment [Tech]

Premarket gainers: ALXA +51%. PSE +19%. LEDR +16%. NBG +11%. WFM +8%. EA +6%. PRTS +6%. SFUN +6%. CTSH +5%.
Losers: FIO -22%. VCLK -19%. OCLR -19%. AXLL -9%. CIE -7%. CHRW -7%. SODA -6%. DDD -6%. SYMC -5%. Z -5%. VVUS -5%. Comment! [On the Move] - Tuesday, May 7, 6:38 PM Symantec (SYMC) -6.2% AH after guiding on its FQ4 call for FQ1 revenue of $1.61B-$1.65B and EPS of $0.35-$0.36, below a consensus of $1.7B and $0.44. Symantec is also forecasting FY14 EPS growth of 5%-7%, below a consensus of 8.5%. Are share losses to upstarts such as CommVault (CVLT) and Veeam taking a toll? Today, CommVault posted an FQ4 beat on the back of 21% Y/Y rev. growth, and stated on its earnings call it's comfortable with the Street's revenue forecasts (consensus is for 15% growth). Of course, CommVault also said it's worried about an "apparent near-term slowdown in tech spending" (many peers would concur). Comment! [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]
- Tuesday, May 7, 4:12 PM Symantec (SYMC): FQ4 EPS of $0.44 beats by $0.06. Revenue of $1.748B (+4% Y/Y) beats by $18M. $125M worth of shares repurchased. Company initiates $0.15/share quarterly dividend (2.5% yield). Shares -0.1% AH. (PR) Comment! [Tech, Earnings, Breaking News, Dividends]

- Saturday, May 4, 3:52 PM Barron's is out with its list of the 500 financially strongest companies as ranked after a rigorous cash and sales analysis. A quick filter on the list shows a good chunk of the names trade with a single-digit price to earnings ratio including Goodyear Tire & Rubber (GT). Despite all the buzz about booming auto sales in the U.S. and China, concerns about growth for Goodyear's products in other regions of the globe have lowered expectations. But with auto sale estimates for full-year being taken higher, Goodyear could see enough consistent revenue growth to justify a higher trading multiple. (Top 25: AAPL, WCC, WDC, DVA, CHRW, QCOM, JOY, V, STX, MRC, MA, CVI, COF, SYMC, MCK, WCG, ETN, BRCM, TMO, CI, CBI, NOV, WNR, HFC, DK) 39 Comments [Consumer, Quick Ideas]

- Friday, February 1, 6:34 PM "We've had to reprogram the brains of our employees because they thought about our company as 150 different point solutions," says Symantec's (SYMC) Steve Bennett in an IBD interview, suggesting his top priorities since becoming CEO in July have included eliminating redundant offerings and developing integrated solutions that "solve a higher-level problem." Bennett, whose firm recently announced a big restructuring (I, II), names Symantec's Storage & Availability Management platform (SAMG) as an example of such a solution. Comment! [Tech]
- Thursday, January 24, 3:24 AM Symantec (SYMC) will reportedly cut back on its middle management as it lowers its headcount by at least 1,000 as part of its restructuring, which the software-security company announced yesterday but without providing a figure for the staff cuts. Despite the prospective job losses, Symantec plans to recruit R&D workers. Comment! [Tech, Consumer]

CC at 4:30PM ET (webcast). (FQ3: I, II) Comment! [Tech]
- Wednesday, January 23, 9:34 AM More on Symantec: The company is splitting the chairman and CEO roles. Board member/AmEx Enterprise Growth chief has been named chairman; Steve Bennett will remain CEO. Deferred revenue +4% Y/Y to $3.81B. Consumer revenue (security software/services) +1% Y/Y (was -1% in FQ2), enterprise security +4% (+6% prior), storage/server management +8% (-2% prior, a solid turnaround). $200M in shares repurchased, boosting EPS.

- Tuesday, January 15, 4:12 PM Symantec (SYMC +4.7%) closes with a healthy gain after the WSJ reports the company's Altiris device management/configuration software unit is on the block and drawing P-E interest. Symantec bought Altiris, which competes with ServiceNow (NOW +4.4%) and whose tools manage everything from servers to smartphones, for $800M in '07. The WSJ adds a sale of Symantec's Veritas storage software business, the subject of occasional speculation, is unlikely. (Morgan Stanley upgrade) Comment! [Tech, M&A]
