Yahoo Finance Check Point Securing Profits, Big Money Interest
Last month CHKP introduced a scalable, AI-powered web application firewall for enterprises that prevents threats and guards against unauthorized access. The Israeli company’s solutions have also been on the forefront of geopolitical tensions, especially in the Middle East, protecting digital systems and communications in areas on alert.
All this activity is delivering solid financial performance. CHKP’s first-quarter 2024 revenues gained 5.8% on a year-over-year basis (to $598.8 million) and consensus expectations are for more in the next quarter. Also, its per-share earnings jumped 5.3% yearly to $1.60, with expectations of 8% growth to $2.16 in the following quarter.
It’s no wonder CHKP shares are up 10% this year – and they could rise more. MAPsignals data shows how Big Money investors are betting heavily on the forward picture of the stock.
