Symantec said its fiscal second quarter income rose 19 percent to $150 million, or 18 cents a share, up from $126 million, or 15 cents a share, a year earlier. Excluding items, earnings slipped to 36 cents from 37 cents. Revenue fell 2.9% to $1.47 billion. The security-software company also said it would buy back up to $1 billion in shares.
Strong sales in its consumer segment pushed results above expectations.
