Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Rating On Shares Of Check Point Software Technologies Ltd.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We increase our target price to $148, from $126, on a forward P/E multiple of 14.2x our 2026 EPS projection of $10.45, below CHKP's three-year average. We lower our 2026 EPS projection to $10.45 from $10.47, but raise our 2027 EPS forecast to $11.45 from $11.43. We believe there is broader recognition among organizations that enterprise security in an AI world needs to keep pace with rapid technology evolutions. AI model advancements and robust adoption trends this quarter suggest that security budgets could tick up in the coming quarters as enterprise customers look to large security vendors to expand their AI security capabilities. While we note some uncertainty with its recent sales reorganization, we believe AI is a tailwind for the business, given its large installed base. CHKP is building its portfolio of AI Security offerings, including AI Agent Security and Workforce AI Security, which we anticipate will inflect soon to improve Subscriptions growth.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Opinion On Shares Of Check Point Software Technologies Ltd.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lower our target price to $126 from $178, based on a P/E multiple of 12x our 2026 EPS projection of $10.47, below its three-year average. We increase our 2026 EPS projection to $10.47 from $10.45, but trim our 2027 EPS forecast to $11.43 from $11.58. CHKP delivered mixed Q1 2026 results, with total revenues of $668M growing 5% Y/Y, supported by 11% growth in security subscriptions to $323M. Product revenues declined 3% to $111M due to go-to-market restructuring headwinds. These changes coupled with memory pricing increases have added uncertainty to the pace of appliance refreshes, although we anticipate go-to-market headwinds to stabilize in 2H 2026. Despite the lowered revenue outlook, the firm maintained its non-GAAP EPS and free cash flow guidance, suggesting flexibility to manage costs and margin resilience. Strong free cash flow generation will also support continued share buybacks to drive EPS stability, in our view.
