Out of tens of thousands of stocks, funds, and ETFs that trade on global exchanges each represent an individual company which you can analyze using comparative analysis. To determine which one of the two entities, such as Check or Crowdstrike is a better fit for your portfolio, analyzing a few basic fundamental indicators is a good first step.

How important is Check Point's Liquidity

Check Point financial leverage refers to using borrowed capital as a funding source to finance Check Point Software ongoing operations. It is usually used to expand the firm's asset base and generate returns on borrowed capital. Check Point financial leverage is typically calculated by taking the company's all interest-bearing debt and dividing it by total capital. So the higher the debt-to-capital ratio (i.e., financial leverage), the riskier the company. Financial leverage can amplify the potential profits to Check Point's owners, but it also increases the potential losses and risk of financial distress, including bankruptcy, if the firm cannot cover its debt costs. The degree of Check Point's financial leverage can be measured in several ways, including by ratios such as the debt-to-equity ratio (total debt / total equity), equity multiplier (total assets / total equity), or the debt ratio (total debt / total assets).

Correlation Between Check and Crowdstrike Holdings

In general, Stock analysis is a method for investors and traders to make individual buying and selling decisions. Stock correlation analysis is also essential because it can help investors realize that they may not be as diversified as they think. Risk management strategies are usually required to make sure all portfolios are properly aligned against their risk tolerance level. You can consider holding Check Point together with similar or unrelated positions with a negative correlation. For example, you can also add Crowdstrike Holdings to your portfolio. If Crowdstrike Holdings is not perfectly correlated to Check Point it will diversify some of the market risks out of the positively correlated stocks in your portfolio. However, the disadvantage of this sort of hedging is that it can potentially affect your investment returns throughout market cycles. When Check Point, for example, performs excellent and delivers stable returns, the negatively correlated position you locked in as a hedge may drag your returns down.
Are you currently holding both Check Point and Crowdstrike Holdings in your portfolio? Please note if you are using this as a pair-trade strategy between Check Point and Crowdstrike Holdings, watch out for correlation discrepancy over time. Relying on the historical price correlations and assuming that it will not change may lead to short-term losses. Please check pair correlation details between CHKP and CRWD for more information.

Recent Jensen Alpha is up to 0.05. Price may decline again. Check Point Software has relatively low volatility with skewness of 0.89 and kurtosis of 3.68.
