What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($88.51). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (57/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- A fairly wide model range ($39.64 to $88.51) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

How to read this chart
60‑month range $68.21 – $161.14 · fair‑value band $39.64 – $88.51 · the $106.50 price screens above the $62.59 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 21, 2026.
Analysis
Akamai Technologies Inc (AKAM) currently trades at $106.50, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $62.59, implying the stock looks roughly 70.2% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 57/100 (solid quality), in the Technology sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of $157.14 per share, and 10 of the 24 models we run sit above the $106.50 price. Bear case: the Economic Profit group reads lowest at $14.68, and 14 of the 24 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.
Over the trailing twelve months, Akamai Technologies Inc generated revenue of $4.3B at a net margin of 10.2%. Revenue grew 5.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 9.2%. Net debt stands at $6.0B. Fundamentals as of Aug 21, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $39.64 (bear case) to $88.51 (bull case); at $106.50, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat. The share trades about 36% below its 52-week high and 53% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at −32% fair-value upside, at −41%, AKAM screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 8 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly $2.02 per share, which is 3.2 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
All 24 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings ($157.14) versus Economic Profit ($14.68). Highest evidence: Residual Income (73).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 59 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 50
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
