Check Point delivered a solid quarter, with non-GAAP EPS of $2.55 beating the $2.45 consensus. The 12% jump in security subscription revenue to $333 million underscores the shift toward recurring revenue, while total revenue grew only 1% as legacy product sales declined. The $2.6 billion remaining performance obligation (RPO) provides visibility into future growth. The company also repurchased 2.5 million shares for $325 million, continuing its aggressive buyback program. A $28 million R&D grant from Israel's new tax incentive program boosted margins, but even excluding that, operating performance was healthy. The results reinforce Check Point's transition to a subscription-driven model, though top-line growth remains modest.
