Baird analyst William Power upgraded Akamai Technologies (NASDAQ: AKAM) from Neutral to Outperform with a price target of $135.00 (from $128.00).

The analyst comments "Positive on growing Security opportunity. We are raising our rating of AKAM from Neutral to Outperform, taking advantage of recent weakness. With valuation well below its five- and 10-year average, and a growing cloud security concentration (estimated at 50% of total revenue in 2024 vs. 39% three years ago), we view the risk/reward as attractive. While delivery remains a headwind, we believe that's well understood, and we view compute, with low investor expectations, as possible upside in 2025+. We are buyers at current levels."
