Akamai's Promising Growth: Surpassing Expectations with Strategic Moves in Security and Cloud InfrastructureWe believe this guide also makes investors worry about Akamai being able to achieve its medium-term double- digit growth target. In our view, however, Akamai is taking the right steps to be positioned well for favorable trends as compute, API security, and zero trust become a larger part of the business (while delivery weighs less on overall growth), and management already expects revenue acceleration and margin expansion in 2026.
