Ariel International Fund Ariel Investments, LLC | “Israel-based provider of products for information technology security, Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. also traded lower during the period despite robust earnings, highlighted by a significant beat in product revenues and double-digit billings growth. Consumers are adopting more pillars of Check Point's platform and engaging in larger strategic commitments with Infinity and Quantum Force. Meanwhile, new CEO Nadav Zafrir, expanded the executive team to balance corporate and go-to-market leadership roles as well as bring more attention to customer facing functions. Check Point continues to be an astute steward of capital, pursuing organic growth and utilizing surplus cash to return capital to shareholders. We also like the company's exposure to the fast-growing cloud security market and its industry leading profitability. BSD Analysis: Check Point is the cybersecurity veteran that keeps outperforming because it doesn't chase hype — it delivers protection that actually works. The company has quietly rebuilt its product suite around next-gen firewalls, cloud security, and AI-powered threat detection. Gross margins are elite, FCF is massive, and Check Point's conservative culture means no blowups, just steady compounding. In a chaotic cybersecurity market, consistency is a weapon — and Check Point has it.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jun 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
