What this transaction means for investors
Yoav Chelouche, Director at Check Point Software Technologies (CHKP), recently sold about 25,000 shares of Check Point stock for approximately $3.5 million. Here are some key takeaways for investors.
First, let’s review Check Point’s recent stock performance. Shares of the cybersecurity company have been up and down over the last three years. Overall, Check Point stock is virtually unchanged, recording a total return of -2% during this period and a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -0.6%. That’s well below what the S&P 500 has achieved over the same period, with a total return of 78% and a CAGR of 21.3%.
However, most of this underperformance has come in the last 12 months, with Check Point stock down about 44%. As a result, the stock’s valuation is now reaching multi-year lows. Its current price-to-sales (P/S) ratio is 4.9x. That’s very close to its five-year low of 4.4x, last reached only a month ago. Similarly, its current P/S ratio is well below its five-year average of 7.6x, suggesting the stock may be undervalued.
Part of the reason why the company’s stock has come under pressure is the discovery and exploitation of a vulnerability within Check Point’s software.
In summary, the company’s stock has suffered due to negative headlines. This may present an opportunity for long-term investors who see value in Check Point shares at its current level.
