AMD fell 5.4% today, while Xilinx climbed 4.4%. Spreads of deals that need Chinese approval yesterday widened as investors appeared to be de-risking on general concerns about China as well as U.S. antitrust deal risk.\n\"The spreads in, for example, Xilinx and Maxim Integrated and Coherent deals have gone to ridiculously wide levels,\" Behren said in a phone interview. \"It's not just risk off, it's people blowing out at whatever cost. I've got more red on my screen than I've ever seen in a long time.\"\nBehren attributes the recent widening in deal spreads to Aon PLC and Willis Towers Watson PLC's decision to terminate their deal last week,which caught risk arb investors by surprise.\n\"As Willis Towers caused larger losses than almost everybody anticipated, it set off a cascade of risk reduction in event driven and arbitrage investors, which fed on itself,\" Behren said.\nBehren said he believes that there are number of spreads that are \"completely inefficiently priced\" and wider than they should be. 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":{"AMD":0.9,"MXIM":0.9,"XLNX":0.9,"ADI":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1452,"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,"idStr":"3580817112987743","authorIdStr":"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&nbsp;slow and steady approach&nbsp;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&nbsp;of switching into a higher gear.

While that has made Check Point a profitable cybersecurity company, its slow pace of revenue growth shows that it is missing out on the terrific growth that the industry offers.\nThe good news is that Check Point has been breaking away from that trend of late.\nCHKP RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE (% OF QUARTERLY REVENUES)DATA BY YCHARTS.\nCheck Point spent 41.1% of its revenue on R&D and marketing last quarter, up from 40.1% in the year-ago period. While that's not a huge increase, it is worth noting that Check Point's new strategy of spending more money in the cutthroat cybersecurity market is reaping results and paving the way for long-term growth.\nGearing up for long-term growth\nCheck Point's deferred revenueincreased 10% year over year in Q2 to $1.47 billion, substantially outpacing the actual revenue growth. That's a nice bump over the year-ago period's deferred revenue increase of just 4%.\nThe acceleration in the company's deferred revenue growth is good news for investors, as the metric refers to the money collected in advance in lieu of services that will be rendered at a later date. The deferred revenue is recognized on the income statement once the services are actually delivered, indicating that Check Point's subscription business is gathering momentum.\nCheck Point's revenue from security subscription sales jumped 12% year over year to $183.7 million, accounting for nearly 35% of the top line. The segment had produced 32.4% of Check Point's total revenue in the prior year period. 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":1243,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"defaultTab":"posts","isTTM":false}
