Analyst Forecast
Akamai is shifting from mature content delivery toward security and distributed cloud services. Cybersecurity offers recurring growth, while delivery traffic and pricing remain pressured. Enterprise spending can slow in recession, but protection needs are persistent. Capital intensity and competition from hyperscalers require attention. The company needs cloud and security growth to outweigh erosion in its legacy network business.
