Company Report

Check Point Earnings: Business Indicators Getting More Positive; New CEO Announced

Narrow-moat Check Point Software Technologies reported second-quarter numbers that were broadly in line with FactSet consensus. However, future business indicators are improving with 10% growth in billings, three large deals signed in the quarter totaling $130 million in bookings, and a return to growth in the product line with good demand for the new Quantum Force gateways. Shares were up around 6% intraday in response. We don’t expect to make a material change to our $155 per share fair value estimate. At current levels, the shares look fairly valued.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Check Point’s Infinity cybersecurity platform is growing fast as it is meeting customers' increasing desire to reduce cybersecurity complexity via fewer separate products and vendors.

Bears

Other leading cybersecurity vendors are also offering consolidated security platforms, which may ultimately lead to lower pricing.
