Check Point Software remains a buy, with a revised fair value of $160, offering 10% upside from current levels. CHKP is aggressively investing in AI security via targeted acquisitions, shifting revenue mix toward higher-margin subscriptions. Short-term margin pressure is expected as CHKP prioritizes growth, but robust OCF, negative net debt, and buybacks support shareholder value.
