How Higher Debt Levels Affect Symantec

Symantec’s (SYMC) debt levels in the last two years have increased at a rapid pace, driven by the acquisition of Blue Coat Systems for ~$4.7 billion and LifeLock for $2.3 billion. In the last five years, Symantec has returned ~$7.7 billion to its investors through share buybacks and dividends. Symantec security products are generally sold in a bundle with laptops and PCs.
