On Sept. 24, the Financial Times reported that Gen Digital, a cybersecurity company, is in early discussions to acquire domain registrar GoDaddy. Following the report, GoDaddy's shares surged 11% but partly pulled back, while Gen Digital's fell as much as 12% over the day.
Gen's bundling offers allow the company to land and expand customers that want one unified vendor for their security and identity protection needs.
Like any company in consumer security, Gen faces a tough pricing environment across its end markets.
