With its stock up 38% this year and share price bumping up against 52-week highs, Check Point Software (NASDAQ: CHKP) may not be one of the first investments a conservative investor would look at closely.
It isn’t Check Point’s staggering top-line growth that makes the company stand out. Competitors like Palo Alto Networks (NYSE: PANW) and Fortinet have better growth rates. What makes Check Point a potential gold mine for conservative investors is how it’s successfully transformed its business.
