Akamai Technologies Maintains Bullish Outlook on Compute Business Despite Delivery Segment Concerns

Akamai Technologies (NASDAQ:AKAM) received an increased price target of $120, up from $115, with a Buy rating maintained by DA Davidson.

In a recent investor call, Akamai's CFO Ed McGowan and Head of IR Mark Stoutenberg provided additional insights, expressing strong confidence in the company's Compute business, which is expected to see further growth acceleration, particularly as the enterprise segment continues to expand.

While there were conflicting reports about market share shifts in the Delivery segment, overall traffic growth remains weak. However, management expressed optimism about the growth potential of Noname, a key area of focus, and highlighted that operating margin expansion into the low 30% range is a top priority.
