*************WE HAD A SHORT POSITION PRE EARNINGS THAT WORKED OUT WELL, BUT THAT SELLING WAS OVERDONE ON ALGO'S AND STOP LOSSES HIT. THE STOCK FOUND PERFECT SUPPORT AND THE BOTTOM FEEDERS STEPPING IN FOR A BARGAIN. we see the price continue positively to fill the gap above.

BEARISH INTO EARNINGS. DECLINE IN REVENUE EXPECTED.

Symantec had a 40% gain from the December lows and has now started to reverse on decent volume . Earnings approach with little optimism as revenue is expected to have declined. From a charting perspective the RSI has had a drastic correction and is approaching oversold territory,we are of the opinion that the gap to $21 will be filled at a minimum, so we will be short, but with a tight stop loss in place.

This Leading Cyber Security Stock Just Had A Failed Breakout

Traders and investors should note that the leading cyber security company Symantec Corp (NASDAQ:SYMC) just staged a failed breakout pattern on the charts. Recently, the stock tried to breakout above the $34.00 level on three separate occasions in September and early October only to fall below the $32.00 support area today. This pattern will usually be followed by more selling in the near term. Traders must now watch the 200-day moving average for short-term daily chart support. The better and stronger chart support area will be around the $27.50 level. This area was prior chart support in July and August 2017.

Re: #70: @eastunder - Symantec's (SYMC) Blue Coat Deal Looks Tentatively Good,

Symantec acquires web security firm Blue Coat

Computer security software company Symantec is bolstering its web protection portfolio with the acquisition of Web security firm Blue Coat.

Mountain View, Calif.-based Symantec will acquire Blue Coat for about $4.6 billion in cash, the two companies announced Monday. Both boards of directors have approved the deal, which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2016.

Blue Coat CEO Greg Clark will become CEO of Symantec and join the board when the deal closes. Symantec has had some CEO issues in recent years. It fired CEO Steve Bennett in March 2014 and subsequent CEO Michael Brown stepped down in April.

“With this transaction, we will have the scale, portfolio and resources necessary to usher in a new era of innovation designed to help protect large customers and individual consumers against insider threats and sophisticated cybercriminals,” said Symantec Chairman Dan Schulman said in a statement. "In addition to a proven track record of delivering scale and profitable growth, Greg brings significant leadership experience, deep security expertise and a history of successfully integrating companies into a single portfolio; he is the right person to lead Symantec as we advance our position as the leader in cybersecurity.

The Sunnyvale, Calif. Blue Coat had filed for its own initial public offering earlier this month. The company generated revenue of $598 million in its fiscal year ending April 30, 2016.

Symantec's (SYMC) Blue Coat Deal Looks Tentatively Good, but Some Risks Remain - BTIG

BTIG affirms Symantec (NASDAQ: SYMC) with a Neutral rating after the company announced entering an agreement to acquire Blue Coat for about $4.65 billion.

Analyst Joel Fishbein commented Monday: The deal brings immediate benefits for SYMC: 1) increased enterprise security exposure, as pro forma enterprise security revenues increase to 62% of the base (vs. ~54% as of F16); 2) better focus on highergrowth security segments (Gartner estimates that 85% of large enterprises will be using cloud access security brokers, vs. <5% today); 3) significant accretion, as FY18 EPS is expected to jump to $1.70-$1.80 vs. $1.37 prior (+28%); and 4) a new CEO in Greg Clark with a deep software background and proven track record of turning around and growing an enterprise-focused security company.

At the surface, the transformative deal looks like a good one. However, there are obvious risks around a transaction of this size, notably the product and sales integration required, and if this can truly position SYMC to achieve its goal of being the leading enterprise cyber security company

Symantec Jumps on RBC Upgrade as Security Products Demand Rises

by
Aleksandra Gjorgievska

March 11, 2016 — 8:09 AM MST

Symantec Corp. shares jumped Friday after RBC Capital Markets Corp. upgraded the company to buy from neutral amid growing demand for security products.

The stock rose 3.7 percent to $18.35 at the market open in New York. The shares had fallen 25 percent in the past year.

Symantec, which makes cybersecurity software, is a “value stock that doesn’t have to get a lot right for shares to move higher,” RBC analyst Matthew Hedberg wrote in a note. RBC’s price target of $23 is unchanged.

Low investor expectations, the opportunity to cross-sell new products and automatic renewals that may slow declines in the consumer security business are among the reasons for the upgrade, according to the note. The demand for security products is rising as large companies seek to protect data on more devices, Hedberg wrote.

Mountain View, California-based Symantec’s new Advanced Threat Protection software provides the company with its biggest revenue opportunity this year and next, Chief Financial Officer Thomas Seifert said in an interview in Berlin Friday. The company is on the lookout for acquisitions to gain additional technology and accelerate its unified security strategy, Seifert said.

“With what seems like hundreds of vendors focused on end-point security, we think Symantec has a seat at the table with a large customer base and could become a consolidation play as Intel/McAfee struggles,” Hedberg wrote in the note.

Yup. Any long that bought in the $19-$20.50 range prior to the ex-date of the quarterly divvy in February and held through now is nicely in the green when you factor in the $4.15 of divvy payments coming in the next 2 weeks.
