		<description><![CDATA[VeriSign, Inc. (VRSN) recently reported earnings of $0.35 per share in the third quarter of 2011, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.33. In the past few years, VeriSign has considerably streamlined its business to focus on providing, reliable and secure Internet infrastructure services. The disposal of non-core businesses boosted margins while the buyback of shares helped the bottom line. The company at present has a new management team. Additionally, we think increased domain fees and ICANN&#8217;s plan to increase the number of generic domain names should positively impact its results. Earnings estimates have increased recently. Hence, we upgrade our recommendation to Outperform from Neutral. We set a target price of $40.00, which is derived by applying a target P/E multiple of 30.5x to our 2011 EPS estimate.

		<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>

		<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. Non-GAAP gross margin (excluding special items amortization of acquired products and deferred revenue, but including stock based compensation) of 84.9% was down 60 basis ]]></description>
