Check Point's Strategic Initiatives and Growth Potential Justify Buy RatingWe attended Check Point’s customer and partner conference, CPX 2025, this week where we heard from the company’s new and gained more insight into management’s latest strategy. Many of the planned changes will be targeted at the go-to-market organization with a lot more C- suite engagement in the sales process, more customer-facing employees in leadership roles to balance the many product-oriented leaders, and increased investments in channel partners with a reaffirmed commitment to selling entirely through the channel. We believe this sales reorganization is the right strategic move given the company’s go-to-market challenges in the past, and with recent efforts to simplify the Check Point brand and Zafrir’s strong connections in the industry, we believe this should lead to improved sales execution in 2025 and beyond.

Cautious Optimism for Check Point Amid Strategic Shifts and Market ChallengesWe attended Vegas where we heard from Check Point’s executive team and spoke with customers and partners. Tone was upbeat as new leadership, GTM changes, and the expanding Infinity Platform better position CHKP to reaccelerate growth. We remain skeptical of their ability to benefit from firewall refresh activity or generate significant upside to estimates near-term, as margins likely face downward pressure from new investments. Our takeaways: (1) CHKP is confident in a return to DD% growth with the current product suite as is. (2) Significant GTM changes are being made to curb growth declines in America and drive share gains in SASE, Email, and ERM. (3) Our conversations with a few U.S. partners revealed modest ongoing frustration with GTM, but all were bullish on CHKP's technology and changes behind the new CEO. Remain Hold.
