Gen Digital shareholders elect board and reject executive pay in annual meeting

On Wednesday, Gen Digital Inc. (NASDAQ:GEN) convened its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to elect a new board of directors, ratify an accounting firm, and vote on executive compensation. Shareholders successfully elected nine nominees to the board, including Sue Barsamian, Pavel Baudis, Eric K. Brandt, and others, who will serve until the next annual meeting or until a successor is chosen or they resign.

The appointment of KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending in 2027 received a majority vote of 513,465,792 in favor, with only 32,131,523 votes against. However, the advisory vote on executive compensation failed to pass, garnering 209,903,985 votes for approval and 307,097,626 votes against.

Despite the vote, Gen Digital continues to engage with shareholders for future compensation discussions. The company has reported impressive financial results, with revenue increasing by 20% to $5.1 billion over the past year and gross profit margins at 78%. Analysts consider the stock undervalued with a P/E ratio of 17.67, indicating potential upside.
