For example, if you look at Xilinx (XLNX)/AMD and believe that China may block the deal, Xilinx (XLNX) was trading yesterday as if there was no downside left.\nChina is \"very opaque, it's unpredictable and the level of execution risk has gone up significantly,\" Behren said.\nThat being said, he added, \"there should not be a legitimate antitrust reason for blocking this deal.\"\nEarlier,China unlikely to clear deals in August as antitrust officials take vacations.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"MXIM":0.9,"XLNX":0.9,"AMD":0.9,"ADI":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1562,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":893939883,"gmtCreate":1628227310742,"gmtModify":1633752403899,"author":{"id":"3580817112987743","authorId":"3580817112987743","name":"Tecklim","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d66ec7bd565c4989adf7c5b93096594c","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3580817112987743","idStr":"3580817112987743"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Can buy","listText":"Can buy","text":"Can buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/893939883","repostId":"1183241768","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1183241768","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1628221300,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1183241768?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-06 11:41","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Should You Buy Check Point Software Stock After Q2 Earnings?<blockquote>您应该在第二季度财报公布后购买Check Point Software股票吗？</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1183241768","media":"The Motley Fool","summary":"The cybersecurity specialist is showing signs of stepping on the gas.\nCheck Point may not be one of ","content":"<p><i>The cybersecurity specialist is showing signs of stepping on the gas.</i></p><p><blockquote><i>这位网络安全专家显示出了踩油门的迹象。</i></blockquote></p><p> <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CHKP\">Check Point</a> may not be one of the most fashionable names in the cybersecurity industry, but the stock has been gradually gaining some momentum on the market since the beginning of March.</p><p><blockquote><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CHKP\">检查点</a>这可能不是网络安全行业最时尚的名字之一，但自3月初以来，该股在市场上逐渐获得了一些动力。</blockquote></p><p> Known for following a slow and steady approach in an industry where its rivals have been growing at a breakneck pace, Check Point's recent stock price rally isn't surprising as it has beensshowing signs of switching into a higher gear.

The software updates and maintenance business also recorded a 2% year-over-year increase.\nHowever, the legacy products and licenses business that accounts for 22.6% of the company's revenue was a laggard. The segment's revenue fell nearly 3% year over year, a trend that's likely to continue as Check Point focuses more on the subscription side of the business where it is witnessing impressive traction.\nCloudGuard and Harmony -- Check Point's offerings for the cloud security and secure access markets -- now account for 20% of its security subscription revenue. What's more, the revenue from these two product lines has doubled in the past two years. The revenue from Check Point's Infinity architecture, which combines CloudGuard, Harmony, and the Quantum network security solution, has tripled since the beginning of last year.\nAll of this indicates that Check Point is steadily working toward a high-growth revenue model that could help the stock deliver upside in the long run. That's why investors looking to add a long-term cybersecurity play to their portfolios should take a closer look at Check Point. It is trading at 20.7 times trailing earnings, which is a discount to the stock's five-year average multiple of 21.7.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"CHKP":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1518,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":893935017,"gmtCreate":1628227741739,"gmtModify":1633752400564,"author":{"id":"3580817112987743","authorId":"3580817112987743","name":"Tecklim","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d66ec7bd565c4989adf7c5b93096594c","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580817112987743","authorIdStr":"3580817112987743"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[汗颜] ","listText":"[汗颜] ","text":"[汗颜]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/893935017","repostId":"1166200134","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1166200134","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1628226624,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1166200134?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-06 13:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"M&A investors flee deal stocks like AMD in perilous omen for merger arbitrageurs<blockquote>并购投资者逃离AMD等交易股票，这对并购套利者来说是一个危险的预兆</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1166200134","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"Spreads of major deals such as AMD's purchase of Xilinx and Analog Devices acquisition of Maxim Inte","content":"<p><ul> <li>Spreads of major deals such as <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMD\">AMD</a>'s purchase of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/XLNX\">Xilinx</a> and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADI\">Analog Devices</a> acquisition of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MXIM\">Maxim Integrated</a> narrowed after hitting some of widest ever yesterday since the deals were announced.</li> <li>“I’ve never seen anything like it,\" Roy Behren, managing member and portfolio manager at Westchester Capital, said in an interview with Seeking Alpha last night. \"Maybe in March of 2020 with the COVID, other than that, you can tell people are just selling out of positions.\"</li> <li>Behren is referring to last March when deal spreads severely widened during Covid when investors thought the pandemic could derail LVMH's purchase of Tiffany and AbbVie's acquisition of Allergan.</li> <li>The Xilinx/AMD deal spread widened to about $65/share yesterday, or about 45%, though today it has narrowed to about $44, or 29%.

The company's second-quarter results provide further indication that Check Point's rally could get stronger, as it seems to be pulling the right strings to step on the gas in the future.</p><p><blockquote>Check Point以在竞争对手以极快的速度增长的行业中遵循缓慢而稳定的方法而闻名，其最近的股价上涨并不令人意外，因为它已经显示出转向更高速度的迹象。该公司第二季度的业绩进一步表明，Check Point的涨势可能会变得更加强劲，因为它似乎正在采取正确的措施来推动未来的发展。</blockquote></p><p> Let's look at the company's latest numbers and see why this might be a cybersecurity stock worth buying.</p><p><blockquote>让我们看看该公司的最新数据，看看为什么这可能是一只值得购买的网络安全股票。</blockquote></p><p> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6f50bab4ad25075dcdf7a2331de3e763\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"387\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">CHKPDATA BY YCHARTS.</p><p><blockquote>YCHARTS提供的CHKPDATA。</blockquote></p><p> <h3><b>A closer look at Check Point's latest quarter</b></h3> Check Point's revenue increased 4% year over year in Q2 to $526 million, while non-GAAP earnings increased just 2% to $1.61 per share. Wall Street expected the company to deliver $1.56 per share in earnings on $523.8 million in revenue. Admittedly, Check Point's year-over-year growth was nothing to write home about.</p><p><blockquote><h3><b>仔细看看Check Point最近一个季度的情况</b></h3>Check Point第二季度收入同比增长4%至5.26亿美元，而非GAAP收益仅增长2%至每股1.61美元。华尔街预计该公司每股收益为1.56美元，营收为5.238亿美元。诚然，Check Point的同比增长没什么值得大书特书的。</blockquote></p><p> the company's guidance didn't do much to turn heads either. Management expects third-quarter revenue between $515 million and $540 million. Adjusted earnings are expected to fall between $1.54 and $1.64 per share. Check Point had delivered $1.64 per share in earnings in the prior-year period on revenue of $509 million.</p><p><blockquote>该公司的指导也没有引起太多关注。管理层预计第三季度营收在5.15亿美元至5.4亿美元之间。调整后每股收益预计将降至1.54美元至1.64美元之间。Check Point去年同期每股收益为1.64美元，营收为5.09亿美元。</blockquote></p><p> So, while the company's revenue could grow in low single-digit percentages year over year, its earnings are on track to shrink.</p><p><blockquote>因此，尽管该公司的收入可能同比以较低的个位数百分比增长，但其盈利却有望萎缩。</blockquote></p><p> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/879886214160560562b6d65638a1272c\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">IMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.</p><p><blockquote>图片来源：盖蒂图片社。</blockquote></p><p> However, investors shouldn't read too much into the shrinking bottom-line performance. That's because Check Point has been conservative over the years when spending money.
