Akamai Technologies (ISIN US00971T1016) reported Q2 2026 revenue of USD 1.1 billion, up 5 percent from USD 1.04 billion in the year-earlier quarter. The stock was trading at USD 117.28 on Nasdaq on September 23, 2026 at 2:26 p.m. ET, with a market capitalization of USD 17,050,805,516.

Security leads the revenue mix

According to The Globe and Mail, Security Technology Group revenue reached USD 604.4 million in Q2 2026, compared with USD 551.9 million in Q2 2025. That represents a 9.7 percent increase and places cybersecurity ahead of the companywide growth rate.

The revenue mix is important because Akamai is shifting resources toward security and cloud infrastructure while its traditional delivery business faces slower expansion. The Q2 figures show that the newer businesses are carrying more of the growth burden than the consolidated 5 percent headline suggests.

Earnings beat the consensus

Adjusted EPS came in at USD 1.59 for Q2 2026 versus a consensus estimate of USD 1.57, according to MarketBeat. The USD 0.02 beat supports the revenue picture, although GAAP operating profit was USD 80.284 million in Q2, below the USD 114.494 million reported in Q1 2026.

That sequential decline puts profitability alongside growth as the key reading point. Akamai's Q2 operating margin was 7 percent, compared with 11 percent in Q1 2026, while operating cash flow reached USD 326.266 million in Q2.

Stock remains below its yearly high

Akamai stock stood 29.1 percent below its 52-week high of USD 165.45 and above its 52-week low of USD 70.82 on September 23, 2026. The daily change was -0.90 percent, leaving the market to weigh faster security growth against the lower quarterly operating margin.
