Jonathan Ho has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Check Point’s strategic initiatives and growth potential. The company’s recent customer and partner conference revealed a new strategic direction under CEO Nadav Zafrir, focusing on enhancing the go-to-market strategy. This includes increased C-suite engagement in sales, more customer-facing leadership roles, and a commitment to channel partner investments, which are expected to improve sales execution.
Additionally, Check Point is targeting innovation in high-demand areas such as email security and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE). The company’s differentiated hybrid architecture for SASE and the rapid growth of its Harmony email security product, which has seen significant market share gains, underscore its competitive edge. These strategic moves, combined with an energized management team, position Check Point for sustained growth, justifying the Buy rating.
In another report released yesterday, TD Cowen also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $250.00 price target.
