Akamai Technologies (AKAM) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Akamai Technologies has demonstrated robust growth in its Security and Compute segments, with the Security segment increasing by 10% and Compute by 13% in the second quarter, both measured in constant currency. The company's overall revenue rose by 6% in constant currency, exceeding expectations, and Akamai is raising its full-year revenue guidance, which now includes domestic revenue from TikTok. Furthermore, growth in Akamai's Cloud Infrastructure Services is anticipated to accelerate as significant contracts signed earlier this year begin generating revenue late this year and into 2026, alongside projected combined revenue growth for Zero-trust enterprise and API security solutions of 30-35% year-over-year for 2025.
Bears say
Akamai Technologies has experienced stagnant revenue in its content delivery segment for three consecutive quarters, with projections indicating that compute growth for 2025 may fall short of its 15% target, potentially resulting in weak year-over-year growth metrics. Notably, the company’s revenue of approximately $291.9 million underperformed against consensus expectations, driven by over-inflated projections for compute revenue and the impact of prior one-time revenue adjustments. Additionally, the CDN industry faces a long-term decline in pricing and increased competition, exacerbated by large customers developing their own internal CDN capabilities, which could further strain Akamai's profitability and market share.
