Check Point Software: Still Waiting For Growth To Inflect Upwards
I maintain my hold rating on CHKP, as positives are offset by recurring revenue softness and discounting concerns. Quantum Force appliance refresh and emerging product lines show strong momentum, supporting near-term growth and FY25 targets. Sales execution issues, discounting, and margin pressure raise doubts about sustainable growth and recurring revenue strength.
