Base and Bull scenarios

Base55%

Price target

$111.26

+11.3% from spot

In the Base scenario, Akamai executes according to management's published roadmap. Strong expansion in CIS and steady high-single-digit gains in Security fully counter ongoing mid-single-digit declines in CDN delivery. Operating margins remain stable in the mid-20s, generating consistent earnings growth that supports our composite fair value of $111.26.

CIS revenue expands by at least 50% in FY2026 and drives low-teens consolidated revenue growth in FY2027.
Security portfolio revenue surpasses $2.4B in FY2026, growing at high single digits.
Delivery revenue continues an orderly mid-single digit annual contraction.
Non-GAAP operating margins remain steady within management's guided 24%-26% corridor.
Terminal multiple normalizes at 16.0x forward earnings discounted at an 8.92% cost of equity.

Bull20%

Price target

$147.13

+47.2% from spot

In the Bull scenario, Akamai successfully establishes itself as a premier distributed AI compute platform. Cluster activations in Q4 2026 generate an immediate revenue inflection, accelerating company-wide revenue growth above 14% in FY2027. Operating leverage from high compute utilization lifts non-GAAP operating margins beyond 27%, driving fair value toward the high-end boundary of $147.13.

Cloud Infrastructure Services revenue expands by more than 65% in FY2026 and sustains >40% annual growth through FY2028.
Enterprise Security growth re-accelerates to low double-digits (12%-14%) driven by rapid Guardicore and LayerX adoption.
Non-GAAP operating margins expand above 27% as fixed GPU depreciation and power expenses are absorbed by high cluster utilization.
Terminal P/E multiple expands reflecting cloud infrastructure and enterprise cybersecurity software characteristics.
