Thread:
I'm just posting selected historical income statement data on CHKP. It is part of my fundamental analysis as I'm trying to estimate CHKP's 2nd quarter earnings in comparison to the 50 cents on bloomberg.
Just one of my exercises. I'd suggest all investors read the annual report (1997, 98 is not yet available). Also remember the balance sheet with no L/T debt about $4.7 per share of investments and trade rec. over liabilities.
From the upgrade report last week I'm estimating top line growth of 37% (earnings won't be as high due to increases in R&D and the tax rate).

This is apparently due to a subsequent restatment by Checkpoint. The amounts do agree to the "latest" published financials.
