<div id="readability-page-1"><p>07:50 AM EDT, 05/04/2026 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:</p><p>We lower our target price to $126 from $178, based on a P/E multiple of 12x our 2026 EPS projection of $10.47, below its three-year average. We increase our 2026 EPS projection to $10.47 from $10.45, but trim our 2027 EPS forecast to $11.43 from $11.58. CHKP delivered mixed Q1 2026 results, with total revenues of $668M growing 5% Y/Y, supported by 11% growth in security subscriptions to $323M. Product revenues declined 3% to $111M due to go-to-market restructuring headwinds. These changes coupled with memory pricing increases have added uncertainty to the pace of appliance refreshes, although we anticipate go-to-market headwinds to stabilize in 2H 2026. Despite the lowered revenue outlook, the firm maintained its non-GAAP EPS and free cash flow guidance, suggesting flexibility to manage costs and margin resilience. Strong free cash flow generation will also support continued share buybacks to drive EPS stability, in our view.</p> <p>MT Newswires does not provide investment advice.
