Symantec Corp (NASDAQ:SYMC)

A good quarter for one of the leading security firms going. Possible takeover target to boot later in 2012.

I've waited a bit too long, but might as well get on this before it hits $20/share.

Symantec's marriage to Windows will be its downfall.

personally I don't like symantec products

the mobile platform needs to become more secure and i think these guys could be the one to do it

With competition from MSFT, and it not being needed on tablets, Symantec isn't as useful as it used to be.

Sept 2010 Oxford Club pick that looks like a no brainer in this internet age.

intel is taking out mcafee. Symantec has verisign. Long term Symantec should outperform

Undervalued, oversold @ $13.04/share.

Cheap

SYMC is hurting with the declining euro and global recession. It is very well positioned to profit as companies resume storage and security spending. Symantec is cutting edge in many security technologies (reputation, behavioral heuristics) which is becoming more apparent as threats evolve and the commodity vendors' virus definition-based security show their age.

I am playing the recent hacks that have happened and expect these to continue in the coming years

Strongest player in sector. Long-term high demand for corporate IT support.

Windows 7 and a brand new set of vunerabilities to protect!

I think their business model sucks, because I use AVG anti virus for free and I feel safe...may be appropriate for businesses who are willing to pay, but keeping an eye on it to tailcoat a couple of fund managers... not because of its value vs price but because of possible m&a activity and because of the increased 'cyber security' talks by mr prez and the speculation that comes with it, especially after recent DoS attacks

target 22

Symantec Corporation is well bound for earnings growth as data security (and storage) has become more of a priority for consumers, businesses, and countries. SYMC's past M&A has put pressure on their ROE and some of their operating margins, but I expect the synergies to pay off long term. In addition, I think they should be trading at about $20/share - nice margin of safety as of right now.

Best SW for protection, less travel and vacation, more internet browsing, and more viruses. Symantec is the one to own.

Security is no longer an option in regards to information techonology. This is a vital sector but SYMC isn't putting all it's eggs in this basket. It is also expanding to offer new and original services to consumers to bolster it's core business. It will recover to $20+ within 12 months.
