FBR Capital maintains an 'Outperform' on Checkpoint Software (NASDAQ: CHKP), raises PT from $58 to $63.

FBR analyst says, "This morning, Check Point delivered a strong F2Q11 (June) that yet again beat our and Street expectations, as the company's strong product cycle and stellar execution are translating into positive momentum in the field.

For FY11, we are increasing our respective total revenue and EPS estimates to $1.23 billion and $2.81 from $1.22 billion and $2.75.
