Is Check Point Software Technologies under- or over-valued?
Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Check Point Software Technologies P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.
Check Point Software Technologies's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 20x. In other words, Check Point Software Technologies's shares trade at around 20x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of March 2025 (25.37). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Check Point Software Technologies's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.2222. A PEG ratio over 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares are overvalued at the current rate of growth, or may anticipate an acceleration in growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Check Point Software Technologies's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Check Point Software Technologies's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $921.8 million (£674.7 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of Check Point Software Technologies's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
