Gekko Brief
AI summaryAkamai signed an $11.6 billion, seven-year cloud infrastructure deal with Anthropic to support AI workload demands, with commentary suggesting the relationship could grow toward $20 billion and combined Anthropic commitments now totaling $13.3 billion. The news repositions Akamai from a content delivery network toward an AI and distributed cloud infrastructure provider, and DA Davidson adjusted its price target on the stock to $150 from $185 while maintaining a Buy rating. Despite the deal, shares fell 4.34% on the day to close at $108.99, underperforming as the broader market also declined, leaving the stock 34.13% below its 52-week high of $165.45.
Akamai closes at $108.99, sitting between its 50-day average of $113.05 and 200-day average of $111.25, with a mixed trend picture. The GekkoIndex reads 59, placing the stock in the Neutral zone. Price sits 15.4% below Gekko Fair Value of $128.89.

Last earnings call, Aug 6, 2026 AI summary
- What they said
- Akamai reported Q2 results with $1.1B revenue (up 5% YoY) and strong momentum in its Cloud Infrastructure Services (CIS) and security businesses. Management announced a new US-based customer committing >$600M over four years for GPU/cloud infrastructure, bringing multiyear commitments this year to >$2.8B. Management said this new win will have no material revenue impact in 2026 but will ramp through 2027. They signaled confidence that CIS revenue will meaningfully accelerate in Q4 and further in 2027, and now expect overall revenue growth to accelerate into the low teens in 2027. CIS revenue was $99M (up 39% YoY); security revenue grew ~10% YoY driven by API security and segmentation; delivery revenue declined ~6% YoY. Management emphasized a very strong pipeline, multi-year reserved-instance-like bookings, and plans to order additional GPUs (including new orders with NVIDIA). They have $4.6B cash, temporarily suspended buybacks to prioritize growth investments, and said financing capacity remains. Management is confident about data center and power access given its global footprint (700 cities / 130 countries) and backbone. During Q&A, management addressed timing of revenue recognition (typically 6–9 months from signing for large deals, with a quarter being a typical ramp-to-profit timing), procurement and contract structures to mitigate inflation, profitability dynamics (short-term cost timing but solid long-term margins), spot vs committed capacity, and security tailwinds from AI-driven attacker activity. Overall tone was confident and upbeat with acknowledged operational/timing risks (GPU availability and some delivery timing pushed from Q2 to Q3) and macro/industry uncertainties.
- Guidance
- Management expects overall revenue growth to accelerate into the low teens in 2027. They expect CIS revenue to meaningfully accelerate in Q4 2026 and further in 2027. For the recently announced >$600M 4-year GPU/cloud infrastructure deal, management does not expect material revenue in 2026 and expects revenue to fully ramp through 2027. Management indicated the typical timeframe from signing to revenue recognition for large CIS deals is ~6–9 months. They also signaled a large Q4 2026 revenue acceleration ('hockey stick') for CIS and continued ramp into Q1 2027.
- Risks flagged
- GPU and component supply timing and inventory constraints (some GPUs pushed from Q2 to Q3), component price inflation risk, data center/power availability (though management says they have flexibility), short-term margin noise due to upfront data center and equipment costs, macroeconomic and geopolitical risks, and integration/execution risks associated with growth and acquisitions. Management also highlighted typical SEC-filed risk factors.
