This company did several business missteps such as disastrous merging with Veritas, recent unnecessary overpaying Vontu aquisition in the last five years. The merge with Veritas diluted symantec's stock value. The Vontu aquisition does not add value to symantec's business in a sensible way.





Inside this company, the lack of innovation, continuous lose of top talents, lack of proper management knowledge in the mid and high managers level, turf wars bewteen different groups make it a typical over-matured company. At the same time, the quality of their products can not meet analysts' expectation.





The current net profit margin is 6.03%, which is one percent higher than inflation rate. It is even lower than the lowest businees loan rate 8%. That means its business operation is in the lowest end of efficiency.





This stock price range is highly likely maintaining $15-$21.
