		<description><![CDATA[My mother believes shopping is a sport. If it were, there’s no doubt she would be a world champion. I’d say an Olympic gold medalist, but she lost her amateur status years ago. When my mom shops, she’s not satisfied unless she’s getting top merchandise for at least 40% off. And like a hunter who can’t wait to brag about the 12-point buck he took, my mother will tell anyone who’ll listen about the $300 sweater she got for $80. But unlike the tales of hunters and fishermen, when it comes to my mom and shopping, the big one doesn’t get away. Everyone loves a bargain. But some people are willing to work harder to get it. Investors are like shoppers. Some will stand in line to buy the latest ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Symantec Corporation (SYMC) upped its acquisition count with the recent takeover of privately-held Nukona Inc., a provider of mobile application management (MAM) services. The financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. This is an important acquisition for the information technology (IT) security major, as it will likely enhance Symantec&#8217;s enterprise mobility portfolio. With Nukona’s capabilities, Symantec will be able to deliver mobile application security solutions that can run on different platforms.. With this enhancement in its enterprise mobility portfolio, Symantec will aid IT organizations in protecting and isolating corporate data and applications across corporate and personal devices. Symantec expects to close this transaction in April and is subject to customary closing conditions. Earlier this month, Symantec had acquired Odyssey Software, a leading provider of mobile device management (MDM). The ]]></description>

Collectively, we’ve never faced as many online threats as we do today. Why is so much hacking happening now? The answer is simple: More valuable information is stored online now than ever before and – at the same time – many organizations’ cyber security measures are still not up to snuff. And, unfortunately, our international competitors are taking full advantage of these shortcomings. An Onslaught of Foreign Intrusions According to a recent U.S. government report from the Office of the National Counterintelligence Executive, government agencies and private companies are still failing to shield their networks from foreign hackers and illicit programmers. But the surprise revelation was that the report pointed the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cyber security has emerged as the most discussed topic in the technology market over the last few months. As corporations, government agencies, banks and video game companies have been plagued by cyber attacks, online security has become a major concern for all. However, the last few months have been particularly embarrassing for cyber security providers such as EMC Corp. (EMC), after some high-profile hacking was reported at Sony Corp. (SNE), EMC’s own RSA division, defense contractor Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT), banker Citigroup Inc. (C), search company Google Inc. (GOOG), video game companies Electronic Arts (ERTS) and Sega Sammy Holdings Inc. Moreover, government agencies like the IMF and CIA were also targeted. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which works closely with the U.S. Energy Department, also fell prey to cyber attack. ]]></description>

(ERTS) this time, as the company’s website reported that hackers have stolen user information. The video game maker reported the breach in its BioWare division as “highly sophisticated and unlawful.” Hackers breached the servers related to “Neverwinter Nights,” produced by BioWare Edmonton, and supposedly stole user names, encrypted passwords, email addresses, mailing addresses, names, phone numbers and birth dates. However, the company confirmed that no credit card data or Social Security numbers were compromised. Meanwhile, Electronic Arts is said to have identified and secured the hacked server and started an internal investigation relating to the breach. It seems that hackers have been targeting the video game publishers for a while, and Electronic Arts is the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As promised, Intel Corp’s (INTC) acquisition of McAfee Inc was completed in the first quarter, following approval by both the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the European Union. The FTC had given its approval earlier, but clearance from the EU was received after Intel assured that the new products created as a result of the acquisition would also function with software from other security companies, such as Symantec Corp (SYMC). McAfee will operate as Intel’s wholly owned subsidiary and its results will be reported under the Software and Services Group. It will continue selling its products and services under the McAfee brand (at least for now). The agreement, which was announced in August last year was completely unexpected, taking both analysts and investors by surprise. Our detailed analysis is available ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stocks had a mixed day on Thursday as investors weighed mixed earnings reports and a possible announcement from the Federal Reserve to buy bonds. 3M Co.’s downbeat earnings and its tepid full-year outlook wiped off market’s initial advance that was fueled by a surprise drop in initial claims. The unexpected drop in first-time claims for unemployment benefits sent the Dow average up 53 points in the morning session. However, as the session progressed the advance petered out and the blue-chip average closed with a loss of 12 points. 3M’s (NYSE:MMM) narrower profit outlook for 2010 and its dim view of the U.S. and European economies weighed in the minds of investors. 3M (NYSE:MMM) weighed heavily on the DJIA after it lowered its 2010 profit view by $0.06 to a range ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Symantec Corp. (SYMC) is scheduled to announce its second quarter fiscal 2011 results on October 27 after market close, and we do not see any variation in analyst estimates at this point. First Quarter Overview Symantec reported encouraging first quarter fiscal 2011 numbers, with earnings per share of 35 cents beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3 cents. Symantec reported first quarter revenue of $1.43 billion, flat with the year-earlier quarter, but above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.25 billion. However, after adjusting for currency translation, the quarter’s revenue grew 2.0% from the year-ago quarter. The sluggish performance is attributable to the cautious stance taken by the company’s IT customers. Symantec witnessed strength in its Consumer segment, which was offset by flat growth in Services segment and a decline in ]]></description>

We maintain our Neutral rating on EMC. EMC was the overall storage software market leader with a 22.7% market share in calendar year 2009, for eight consecutive years, according to research firm IDC, followed by Symantec Corp. (SYMC) (17.9% market share), International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) (13.5%), NetApp Inc. (NTAP) (8%) and CA Technologies (CA) (4%). EMC was also the number one vendor of external storage sales in 2009, followed by IBM and Hewlett-Packard Company (HPQ). The information storage business is EMC’s largest segment (76.0% of fiscal 2009 revenues), which will get a boost from its market leadership position.

EMC launched new EMC NetWorker backup software integrated with EMC Data Domain Boost software. The integration is expected to increase backup speed up to 2 times by distributing parts of the de-duplication process to the NetWorker storage node. In 2009, EMC acquired four companies, of which the most important was Data Domain, a premier provider of storage solutions for backup and archive applications based on de-duplication technology. The acquisition of Data Domain provides higher synergies and positions EMC as a leader in the enterprise storage and backup market. We believe the acquisition will be accretive to 2010 pro forma EPS. The acquisition is expected to increase revenues at ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Symantec Corp. (SYMC) is scheduled to announce its first-quarter 2011 results on July 28 and analyst estimates have been trending down over the last 7 days. Fourth-Quarter Update Symantec Corp. reported fourth-quarter earnings of 36 cents per share (excluding one-time items, but including stock-based compensation expenses) exceeding the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3 cents. Symantec’s strong product portfolio, growth prospects in all its served markets and successful acquisitions facilitated the company to beat the Street’s expectations. SymantecCorp. reported non-GAAP revenue of $1.53 billion, up 3% from the year-earlier quarter. The revenue upside was attributable to higher adoption of Symantec’s product portfolio and better cross-sell and up-sell opportunities.

		<description><![CDATA[Symantec Corporation (SYMC) reported third quarter 2010 earnings per share of 40 cents, exceeding the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 33 cents. Revenue Symantec reported quarterly GAAP net revenue of $1.55 billion, down 2% from $1.51 billion reported in the year-ago quarter. Non-GAAP revenue for the quarter was $1.551 billion, up 1% from $1.535 billion reported in the year-ago quarter. The sequential improvement in revenue may be attributed to the strong momentum in the consumer business, improvements in the company’s license revenue and stabilization of maintenance revenues. Coming to business segments, Symantec’s Consumer segment contributed 31.0% of the total revenue, up 7.0% from the year ago quarter. The increase was largely driven by the 2010 Norton Internet Security and Norton Anti-virus products that have been well accepted in the market. The ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Symantec Corp. (SYMC) reported fiscal second-quarter earnings per share of 36 cents, exceeding the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 29 cents. Revenues Symantec reported second-quarter GAAP net revenues of $1.47 billion, down 3% from $1.51 billion reported in the year-ago quarter. Non-GAAP revenues for the quarter were $1.48 billion, down 3% from $1.52 billion reported in the year-ago quarter. The revenue decline can be mainly attributed to a decline in Licenses revenue. Coming to revenue segments, Content, subscription and maintenance revenues for the quarter was $1.25 billion, up 6.2% from $1.18 billion reported in the year-ago quarter. Licenses revenues for the quarter was $220 million, down 34.7% from the year-ago quarter. This substantial decline in license sales occurred as a result of customers limiting their purchases of licenses to current needs, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier today, Digital River Inc. (DRIV) announced that its largest customer, Symantec Corporation (SYMC), notified the company that it will not extend its existing e-commerce agreement. The agreement, under which Digital River provides a variety of e-commerce-related services to Symantec, expires on June 30, 2010. This is a stunning blow to Digital River as sales of products for Symantec accounted for 24.3% of its total revenues, and sales derived from proprietary Digital River services sold to Symantec consumers accounted for 9.4% of revenues in 2008. For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, sales of Symantec products accounted for 22.5% of revenue and related services revenues accounted for 7.5% of revenue.
