Is Akamai Technologies Stock Underperforming the Dow?

Valued at $14.4 billion by market cap Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Akamai Technologies, Inc. (AKAM) provides cloud computing, security, and content delivery services in the United States and internationally. Akamai makes it easy for businesses to develop and run applications while keeping experiences closer to users and threats farther away.

Companies worth $10 billion or more are generally described as “large-cap stock,” Akamai fits this bill perfectly. Given Akamai’s global coverage and scale in the edge delivery space, its valuation above this mark is unsurprising. Over the years, several global brands and companies have chosen Akamai to build, deliver, and secure their digital experiences.
