AKAM
Stock and Options Trade Setup — Akamai Technologies
Nasdaq · Cybersecurity & Content Delivery · High-liquidity options · Large cap · ~$15B
Akamai is mid-way through a successful business model pivot from low-margin commodity CDN toward higher-margin cybersecurity (Guardicore, API Security) and edge compute. Security now contributes more than half of revenue and is growing high-teens, while compute is the third growth pillar driven by enterprise demand for low-latency workloads. The legacy CDN business remains a steady cash generator that funds R&D and buybacks. The market has been slow to re-rate Akamai because security growth is masked by CDN drag in headline numbers, but on a segment basis the business looks more like a 15%-margin growth platform than a declining infrastructure provider. Strong FCF generation, an aggressive buyback program, and an underappreciated AI-edge story make this an attractive medium-term setup. Options liquidity is good for short-dated directional plays around earnings and security product launches.

AKAM Options Setup — Frequently Asked Questions
Is AKAM a good options trade today?+
Akamai Technologies (AKAM) currently has an Amora Edge Score of 80/100, ranking it top 10%. This composite score is built from four sub-signals — EMA cross, RSI zone, relative strength vs SPY, and volume surge — each scored 0–25. The current read is a bullish setup, so the algorithm is positioned bullish (calls / call debit spreads). A score above 65 typically warrants a trade card with stop and target; below that, the setup is on the watchlist but not actionable.
What is AKAM's win rate on Stoptions.ai setups?+
AKAM's historical win rate on closed Stoptions setups is 33%. Win rate is calculated as the percentage of past AKAM trade cards that hit their target price before stopping out. Win rate is most meaningful once a ticker has 10+ closed trades — individual ticker rates can be noisy at smaller samples. Our portfolio-wide win rate across all closed trades is the more stable benchmark.
What strike and expiry does Stoptions.ai suggest for AKAM?+
The strike and expiry are shown on the trade card at the top of this page when the setup is active. Stoptions.ai algorithmically selects strikes targeting delta 0.35–0.45 and expirations 30–45 days out, adjusted for current implied volatility rank (IVR). When IVR is high, the system favors call debit spreads to limit vega risk; when IVR is low, single-leg long calls are preferred. The card includes the contract symbol, mid-price entry, stop, and target.
How often is the AKAM setup updated?+
Every 72 hours we refresh AKAM's Amora Edge Score and trade card. The underlying scan runs daily at 9:00 AM ET (pre-market) and 9:30 AM ET (post-open), so any new signal change is reflected within one trading session. If AKAM drops below the entry threshold or the regime shifts (e.g., SPY enters a confirmed bear), the trade card is replaced with a "no setup" notice automatically.
What does the Amora Edge Score measure for AKAM?+
The Amora Edge Score is a 0–100 composite of four technical sub-signals applied to AKAM: (1) EMA cross — is the 20-day above the 50-day with both trending up? (2) RSI zone — is momentum in the 50–70 sweet spot, or extended/weak? (3) Relative strength vs SPY — is AKAM outperforming the market over 20 sessions? (4) Volume surge — is participation above the 20-day average? Each sub-signal contributes 0–25 points. AKAM currently scores 80.
How does AKAM compare to other Cybersecurity & Content Delivery setups?+
AKAM's sector rank and percentile against other Cybersecurity & Content Delivery tickers we track is shown on the /tickers index — sortable by Amora Edge Score, win rate, or sector. For direct comparison, see the "Related Cybersecurity & Content Delivery Options Setups" panel above. When multiple tickers in the same sector are scoring 80+, the algorithm flags the cluster as a sector rotation signal and may upweight position sizing.
