Rules of thumb on reported numbers. A starting point, not a recommendation.
About these figures. Check Point is a foreign company: it files an annual report on Form 20-F, prepared under US accounting standards (US GAAP), instead of a 10-K, and no quarterly reports, so this page has fiscal years only. Its shares trade in the US as American depositary shares (ADSs), and one ADS can stand for several ordinary shares, so per-share figures are per ordinary share and the page has no market value, P/E or valuation model.
Is it selling more, and how much does it keep?
In plain words: Every quarter, companies publish how much they sold and earned. These are the days Check Point did it, and the next one. Share prices often move a lot on those days.

KIRA Β· Check Point had $2.7B of revenue in fiscal 2025, up 6.3% on the year before. Over five years, revenue changed +5.7% a year on average. Its operating margin was 30.5%, down 3.7Β pts: of every 100 in sales, about 30 is left after running the business.
In plain words: Revenue is all the money customers paid. The margins show how many cents of each dollar of sales are left over at each step: after making the product (gross), after running the business (operating) and after everything, tax included (net).

Margins, % of revenue
KIRA Β· Check Point made $1.1B of net profit in fiscal 2025. From fiscal 2016 to 2025, diluted EPS grew 9.7% a year.
Loss periods are shown in red.
In plain words: Net income is the profit left after every cost and tax. Earnings per share (EPS) splits that profit across every share, so it shows what one share earned.

How much cash comes in, and where does it go?
KIRA Β· Free cash flow was $1.2B in fiscal 2025, 43.0% of revenue.
Cash from operations minus capital spending.
In plain words: Profit on paper is not the same as cash in the bank. Free cash flow is the cash left after paying to run and maintain the business: the money it can hand back to shareholders, save or invest.

Cash from operations vs capital spending
KIRA Β· Check Point returned $1.4B to shareholders in fiscal 2025, 119% of free cash flow. The diluted share count fell 3.1%.
In plain words: Companies hand cash back in two ways: dividends (cash paid to shareholders) and buybacks (buying back their own shares, so each remaining share owns a bigger slice).
Dividends and buybacks
Diluted shares outstanding (annual)
KIRA Β· No open-market insider trades in the last 12 months.
Open-market purchases and sales by officers, directors and 10% owners, from Form 4 filings. βPlanβ marks trades under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 plan.
In plain words: Insiders are the people who run or own a big part of the company. Buying with their own money can signal confidence; selling often has personal reasons, like taxes or diversifying.

Can it carry its debts, and how well does it use its money?
KIRA Β· Check Point has $2.4B more cash than debt.
Cash, debt and the ratios that show how comfortably Check Point can carry it.
In plain words: What the company owns and what it owes. More cash than debt is a cushion for bad times; a lot of debt leaves less room when business slows down.
