What the Analysts think about Akamai

Analyst projections of the future price of Akamai stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Cloud Infrastructure Services revenue rose 39% year over year to $99 million in Q2 2026, and Akamai said it had signed multi-year CIS contracts collectively worth more than $2.8 billion year to date, including a contract exceeding $600 million. (Akamai)
Security remains the company’s strongest established growth engine: Q2 security revenue increased 10% year over year to $604 million, following 11% growth in Q1, while the completed LayerX acquisition expands Akamai’s zero-trust offering into browser-based AI usage control. (Akamai)
Akamai maintains substantial financial capacity to fund its transformation, with $4.616 billion in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and $326 million of operating cash flow in Q2; management also guided to 2026 revenue of $4.445 billion-$4.530 billion. (Akamai)
Akamai’s Q2 2026 results show transition pressure: Delivery and other cloud applications revenue fell 6% year over year, while adjusted EBITDA declined 6% and non-GAAP EPS fell 8%. (Akamai)
The AI-infrastructure buildout is capital- and balance-sheet-intensive: Akamai reported $7.64 billion of convertible notes outstanding as of June 30, 2026, expects significant infrastructure investment, and said it does not expect share repurchases for the rest of 2026. (SEC)
The LayerX acquisition adds execution and near-term dilution risk: Akamai agreed to pay approximately $205 million for a business expected to produce only about $10 million of year-end ARR and approximately $0.12 of 2026 non-GAAP EPS dilution. (Akamai)
