[On the Move] - Tuesday, April 24, 2012, 8:48 AM Symantec (SYMC) -7.3% premarket after issuing lower guidance for its FQ4, hurt by weaker than expected sales of new licenses. The storage and security software maker now expects EPS of ~$0.38 vs. its previous forecast of $0.41-$0.42; revenues are seen at ~$1.68B vs. its previous $1.72B-$1.73B. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Tuesday, March 27, 2012, 5:24 AM In the next two weeks, Symantec (SYMC) is expected to complete the dissolution of its JV with Huawei Technologies. Sources say Symantec was concerned its JV with the Chinese company would prevent it from gaining access to classified U.S. government information on cyberthreats. Comment! [Tech]
- Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 10:23 AM Symantec (SYMC) is acquiring Nukona, a developer of software for managing data and apps on company-issued mobile devices, for an undisclosed sum. The deal comes 3 weeks after Symantec acquired Odyssey Software, a developer of mobile device management software. The acquisitions are proof of how software firms are addressing IT department complaints about iOS and (especially) Android, and thus presenting an additional threat to RIMM's enterprise base. Comment! [Tech, M&A]
- Friday, March 9, 2012, 12:45 PM Shares of Symanetc (SYMC +0.1%) are on the radar of traders after reports tip off that the firm's Norton antivirus source code has been leaked on the Internet. A somewhat pared down Anonymous is reported to be behind the hack. Comment! [Tech, U.S. Economy]
- Friday, February 24, 2012, 11:38 AM Dell (DELL) has acquired AppAssure, a fast-growing (194% growth in 2011) developer of software for backing up applications running on servers. The acquisition puts Dell into more direct competition with Symantec (SYMC) and CommVault (CVLT), and comes 3 weeks after the company hired former CA head John Swainson to run its software business. (also) Comment! [Tech, M&A]
- Tuesday, February 7, 2012, 2:49 PM Symantec (SYMC +0.5%) is lined up by DealReporter as a possible target of P-E firms. Shares moved into positive territory after the report broke after languishing in early trading. 1 Comment [Tech]
- Tuesday, February 7, 2012, 8:56 AM As part of a sting operation, Symantec (SYMC) tells a hacker group that it will pay it a $50K ransom to keep the source code for some of the firm's security products from being posted on the Internet. After playing a bit of cat-and-mouse, the "talks" broke down and a 1.2GB file that's allegedly software code for one of the firm's products has been posted online. 3 Comments [Tech]
- Thursday, February 2, 2012, 10:08 AM AVG Technologies' (AVG) IPO is looking like a disaster - after pricing its IPO at $16/share last night, shares are currently trading at $13.59, down 15%. The security software maker posted healthy growth in 2011, but faces tough competition from Symantec (SYMC) and Intel's (INTC) McAfee unit. (S-1 filing) Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Thursday, January 26, 2012, 6:29 PM Symantec (SYMC) and Intel's (INTC) McAfee unit engage in a war of words after Symantec CFO James Beer tells Reuters his company took share in the corporate antivirus software market. McAfee asserts it saw record bookings in Q4, and closed a record number of $1M+ deals. With Symantec's Q4 report revealing enterprise security to be a pocket of strength, it's easy to see why the company wants to draw attention to it. Comment! [Tech]
- Thursday, January 26, 2012, 1:17 PM Symantec (SYMC -0.6%) issues a security report (.pdf) that includes a recommendation that users of at least 3 of its products are at risk of a hacking attack until a patch is finalized. Comment! [Tech]
- Wednesday, January 25, 2012, 4:30 PM More on Symantec's FQ3: Growth was driven by a 17% Y/Y increase in enterprise security software sales, but held back by a 13% drop in services revenue, thanks to an ongoing business model shift. Symantec is authorizing a new $1B stock buyback, increasing its total authorization to $1.2B. Deferred revenue rose 8% Y/Y and 6% Q/Q to $3.67B. However, operating cash flow fell 12% Y/Y, to $403M. SYMC +0.5% AH. (PR) Comment! [Tech, Earnings]
