## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 14.1×** (5-yr avg 21.0×, 3-yr avg 21.9×). Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. trades at 14.1× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 21.0×: cheap by its own standards.

- **PEG: 0.42**. A PEG of 0.42 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 5.1×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 5.1×.
- **Price / book: 5.2×**. The shares trade at 5.2× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 7.9%** (5-yr avg 6.1%). Free cash flow equals 7.9% of the market value, above its five-year average of 6.1%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
