The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- AKAM closes below its 50-day average ($101.55), and the 50-day sits below the 200-day ($112.34): on both averages the chart reads as a downtrend.
- At $83.09, AKAM is 49.8% below its 1-year high of $165.45, set on May 13, 2026, and 15.5% above its 1-year low of $71.93 (November 6, 2025).
- Over the past month AKAM fell 17.7%, from $100.90 to $83.09.
- AKAM trades at 32.3x its last twelve months of earnings and 12.0x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 169.7% higher.
- Its P/E is 16.7% above the 27.7x median of the 3 other software—infrastructure companies we track (MSFT, PANW, ORCL).
- AKAM's 30-day volatility, 70.4% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 4.4%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 0.66: over five years of monthly returns, AKAM moved about 0.66% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
- The last session traded 1.7x AKAM's average daily volume of the 30 sessions before it.
What would change the read
- A close above the 50-day average, $101.55 (+22.2%), would turn the read to a rebound; an uptrend also needs the 50-day to climb 10.6% to cross the 200-day at $112.34.
- A close above $165.45 (+99.1%) would be a new 1-year high; below $71.93 (−13.4%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for AKAM, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under software—infrastructure among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
