CHECK POINT

I remember a few people have mentioned Check Point Software as a potential company to keep an eye on. Consider the following quote about their VPN security software from today's Fool write-up:

"VPN-1 enjoys over 50% market share in high-end VPN appliances, three times more than its next competitor, and its lead is growing. That market is expected to expand about 300% this year, according to Infonetics Research. Frost & Sullivan predicts that IP-based VPN services will boost revenues from $1 billion currently to $13.59 billion in 2004. Check Point increased its VPN subscriptions 24% just this quarter, from 34,000 to 42,000."

I smell a tornado for a Gorilla that dominates its market, a company with 45% profit margins, a stock price that is down 43% from its recent high, and a management team that beat consensus estimates five quarters in a row.

For the rest of that Fool piece, check out fool.com

Chaz, tell me someone is working on Check Point as a Hunt project. :)
