Evercore ISI Group Maintains Outperform on Akamai Techs, Maintains $110 Price Target

Akami Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AKAM#NASDAQ">AKAM</a>) shares are trading higher on Monday. Oppenheimer analyst Timothy Horan upgraded Akamai from a Perform rating to an Outperform rating and announced a&nbsp;$120&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/42265796">price target</a>.
The Details: Horan cited a stronger market environment and a robust cloud compute and edge compute platform. 
In terms of a more attractive market environment, Horan highlighted that the Content Delivery Network (CDN) market has become more attractive due to reduced competition, as the number of players has decreased from six to three following the shutdown of Edgio.
Furthermore, Akamai is acquiring Edgio for approximately $150 million, including transition costs, which the analyst believes will drive revenue and margin growth, with Edgio&#8217;s revenues estimated to have 80% gross margins and 60% EBITDA margins, improving further next year.
Next, Horan highlighted strong growth in cloud compute, which is becoming an increasingly significant portion of Akamai&#8217;s revenue. Additionally, AI is driving higher demand for edge compute, while also being leveraged to enhance both security products and internal operations.
Lastly, the analyst said Akamai's cloud and edge compute platforms are positioned to benefit from the growing demand for AI inferencing and the need for AI-driven cybersecurity solutions.

Akamai Technologies, Inc.

The transaction does not include the acquisition of Edgio personnel, technology, or assets related to the Edgio network.
The court approval follows Akamai submitting the winning bid for the select assets during Edgio's 363 bankruptcy auction on November 13, 2024, as part of its filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy relief. The court decision provides the necessary approval for the closing of the sale to proceed.
When the transaction closes, several hundred net new Akamai customers will have a clear path and the necessary support to smoothly migrate to a best-in-class and reliable provider of the services they need prior to Edgio ceasing operations of its content delivery network.

"We have the capacity, capabilities, and experience to help Edgio customers easily migrate to Akamai, and we believe our track record with similar transactions gives us the expertise to help move them to Akamai as seamlessly as possible. We look forward to welcoming these new customers and giving them the opportunity to take advantage of Akamai's full range of security and cloud solutions, which run on the world's most distributed platform."

<h2>Analyst Ratings: What Are They?</h2>
Analysts work in banking and financial systems and typically specialize in reporting for stocks or defined sectors. Analysts may attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter.
Beyond their standard evaluations, some analysts contribute predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, furnishing investors with additional guidance. Users of analyst ratings should be mindful that this specialized advice is shaped by human perspectives and may be subject to variability.
