About
Gen Digital Inc. is a Tempe, Arizona-based consumer cybersecurity company — publicly traded on the NASDAQ (NASDAQ: GEN) as an S&P 500 Information Technology component — providing digital safety products and services for individuals and families through a portfolio of brands including Norton (antivirus, VPN, identity protection), Avast (security for PC and mobile), LifeLock (identity theft protection and dark web monitoring), Avira (European consumer security), and CCleaner (device optimization) through approximately 4,000 employees serving 500+ million users globally. Gen Digital was formed in September 2022 through the merger of NortonLifeLock and Avast (acquired for $8.6 billion), combining two of the three largest global consumer cybersecurity brands — Norton's North American household name recognition and LifeLock's identity theft insurance and recovery services with Avast's European and Asian user base. In fiscal year 2024 (ending March 2024), Gen Digital reported revenues of approximately $3.8 billion with adjusted EPS growth as the company integrated the Avast acquisition, captured cross-sell opportunities (marketing Norton 360 with LifeLock to Avast's 40+ million paying subscribers), and managed the post-acquisition deleveraging of the $6+ billion debt load from the Avast acquisition financing. CEO Vincent Pilette leads Gen Digital's strategy of evolving consumer cybersecurity from device protection (antivirus for Windows PCs) to comprehensive digital life safety: identity protection, financial fraud monitoring, VPN privacy, parental controls, and dark web surveillance — a broader Total Digital Safety positioning that expands the addressable market beyond the traditional antivirus software category.

Monolithic Power Systems, Inc. (MPS) is a San Jose, California-based analog and mixed-signal semiconductor company — publicly traded on NASDAQ (NASDAQ: MPWR) as an S&P 500 Information Technology component — designing high-performance power management integrated circuits for computing, cloud infrastructure, storage, automotive, industrial, and consumer applications through approximately 3,800 employees worldwide. In Q3 2025, Monolithic Power Systems reported revenue of $737.2 million (+10.9% sequentially, +18.9% year-over-year), with the Enterprise Data segment (AI server power management) reaching $191.5 million (+33% from Q2 2025) driven by strong demand for power management solutions in next-generation AI platforms from NVIDIA, Google, and AMD. CEO Michael Hsing founded MPS in 1997 and has led the company's growth from a consumer LED driver manufacturer to an AI infrastructure power management leader — with MPS power ICs now embedded in NVIDIA H100, H200, and GB200 GPU clusters as the voltage regulators that convert rack power supply voltage to the precise low-voltage, high-current supply that GPU cores require during AI training inference. MPS's proprietary Intelli-Phase multiphase power architecture delivers 99%+ efficiency for high-density AI compute power delivery — a competitive differentiation that directly affects data center PUE (power usage effectiveness) at scale.
