Check Point profit jumps 13% as security subscriptions drive growth

Check Point Software Technologies (NASDAQ:CHKP) reported first-quarter 2026 financial results that showcased the company's accelerating shift toward high-margin recurring revenue.

The Tel Aviv-based security leader posted total revenue of $668 million, a 5% increase year-over-year, bolstered by a significant 11% surge in security subscription revenues, which reached $323 million.

The growth in subscriptions highlights the increasing adoption of Check Point’s Infinity platform and its advanced threat prevention suites.

This shift in the revenue mix helped propel non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) to $2.50, a 13% increase compared to the same period last year, comfortably outpacing the 5% growth in GAAP EPS, which stood at $1.81.

GAAP operating income was reported at $185 million, representing a healthy 28% of total revenue.

Check Point’s balance sheet remains among the most robust in the cybersecurity sector.

The company generated $445 million in cash from operations, with adjusted free cash flow reaching $457 million.

By the end of the quarter, the firm held cash and equivalents totaling $4.38 billion, providing a massive war chest for further consolidation.

Remaining performance obligations (RPO)—a key indicator of future revenue—grew to $2.6 billion.
