Seeking Alpha: Check Point Doesn't Need To Feel Insecure

The way things have been going lately, you'd think that Check Point Software Technologies (NASDAQ:CHKP) showed up to a Formula 1 race on a tandem bike. Check Point is certainly being outgrown by up-and-comers in security like Palo Alto (NYSE:PANW), Fortinet (NASDAQ:FTNT), and FireEye (NASDAQ:FEYE), and the shares have largely missed out on the hockey stick rise in security stock prices, but I wouldn't exactly call this leading firewall company chopped liver either.

I do believe that Check Point will hold more share in firewalls than many seem to think, and I think the company's fast-follower approach into areas like endpoint security do offer growth in the coming years. But to recycle that prior metaphor, talking about fair value in the context of software stocks can often feel like bringing a bike to a car race, and Check Point shares don't exactly jump out as shockingly undervalued on an absolute basis.
