SYMANTEC CORP., $21.60, Nasdaq symbol SYMC, sells computer-security technology, including antivirus and email-filtering software, to businesses and consumers. In 2014, the company said it would split into two publicly traded firms. One would keep the Symantec name and focus on antivirus and security software and services.

CAE INC., $14.81, Toronto symbol CAE, earned $50.6 million in its fiscal 2016 first quarter, which ended June 30, 2015, up 15.5% from $43.8 million a year earlier.

Still, we feel the company’s high-quality reserves will help it overcome these short-term challenges. Plus, its operating costs per barrel will keep falling as its new projects reach full capacity....
