The market pays 12.7× for every dollar of annual profit — cheap, which is either an opportunity or a warning.

We compared this company with its own sector across five subjects.
A score of 50 means class average.
Profit power and business quality lead the class.

This grade is a blend: the profit side is strong, the sales tempo slow.
Clearly below the class average.
Price Momentum: The stock has lagged the market in recent months; investor interest is weak right now.
The stock trades 44% below its peak. The market has trimmed its expectations for the company.
The net profit margin is 39% — still a thick cushion, though costs have been eating into it lately.
There is $3.0B in the vault; even if every debt were paid off, $1.0B would remain.
It met or beat analyst expectations in 8 of the last 8 quarters — consistency is a promise kept.
Buyers haven’t stepped back in yet; the price hasn’t found its footing. Report-card grade: 46/100. For a turnaround signal, the stock first needs to close the gap with the market.
On our five-subject report card, CHKP sits near the top of the class. A high grade doesn’t mean “guaranteed win” — it means “the evidence looks strong for now.”
The takeaway: CHKP is an established business that has proven its profits for years. The real debate here isn’t the price — it’s whether the company can keep up this pace.
The total grade weighs these five subjects against the sector — it isn’t a simple average of the five.
