Mizuho analyst Gregg Moskowitz lowered the firm’s price target on Check Point (CHKP) to $165 from $205 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The firm adjusted targets in large-cap software as part of a Q1 preview. Mizuho’s channel checks were solid overall, with cloud and consumption data points “generally good” and AI adoption remaining “very strong,” the analyst tells investors in a research note. However, cybersecurity demand was mixed, contends the firm. Mizuho’s favorite stocks to own into the Q1 reports are Cloudflare, ServiceNow, and Atlassian.
