As Akamai Loads Up on GPUs, Should You Buy, Sell, or Hold AKAM Stock?

Cloud and cybersecurity services provider Akamai Technologies (AKAM) announced that it has acquired thousands of Blackwell GPUs from NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) to strengthen its distributed cloud infrastructure. The GPUs will be used for R&D, fine-tuning, and performing post-training optimization of artificial intelligence (AI) inference workloads, thereby optimizing compute resources across the company’s global network. 

Akamai has been expanding its AI inference capabilities. In October 2025, the company launched the Akamai Inference Cloud, which expands inference from core data centers to the edge of the internet.
