    Listen to the news

    Check Point’s recent earnings and AI push

    Check Point Software Technologies (NasdaqGS:CHKP) just combined a mixed quarterly earnings update, fresh financial guidance and the launch of its Maestro Hyperscale Orchestrator 200, putting AI focused network security directly in investors’ sights.

    Against that product rollout and fresh guidance, Check Point’s share price has risen 11.49% over the past 90 days, but is still down 20.48% on a year to date share price return and 28.77% on a 1 year total shareholder return. This points to improving short term momentum after a weaker stretch for longer term holders.

    After a sharp 90 day rebound, but with Check Point Software Technologies still showing weaker 1 year and year to date performance, does the current price still offer a favourable entry, or has most of the easy risk reward already been taken?

    Most Popular Narrative: 4% Undervalued

    On Simply Wall St’s analyst consensus Narrative, Check Point Software Technologies carries a fair value of $149.28 against a last close of $143.96. This suggests a small valuation gap that hinges on how its AI security push and sales overhaul play out. That Narrative blends Street forecasts for revenue, margins and cash flows using a 10.97% discount rate, then infers what today’s price implies for the business.

    The Infinity platform focus on subscriptions and multi pillar adoption continues to be relevant. Emerging products such as email security, CTEM, SASE and AI security are reporting more than 40% ARR growth and 35% to 45% billing growth in early 2026, which could increasingly support subscription revenue and earnings.

    See why 37 investors see Check Point Software Technologies as 4% undervalued.

    Result: Fair Value of $149.28 (UNDERVALUED)

    Still, the firewall disruption and softer appliance demand that saw recent product revenue fall 14% could easily keep the investment thesis for Check Point Software Technologies under pressure.
