Make your own forecastAbout Akamai Technologies
Akamai Technologies, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, was founded in 1998 by MIT researchers. The company built one of the first and largest content delivery networks, a globally distributed system of servers that speeds up websites, video streams and software downloads by delivering content close to end users. Over time, Akamai has expanded into cybersecurity and cloud computing.
Security has become the largest business, including web application firewalls, protection against distributed denial-of-service attacks, bot management and zero-trust access solutions. With the 2022 acquisition of Linode, Akamai entered the cloud infrastructure market, positioning itself as a distributed alternative to the large hyperscalers. Customers include media companies, retailers, banks and government agencies. While the traditional delivery business faces pricing pressure, growth in security and cloud computing is the main theme investors watch. On the Nasdaq, Akamai trades as AKAM; it is an S&P 500 company.
The current price of Akamai Technologies stock is $85.67 (−0.88% vs. the previous close). In today's trading the high was $86.41 and the low $83.98.
How the Quantum Forecast works
Research from quantum physics. The models are the result of several years of research at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and LMU Munich and were transferred to the stock market.
Spectra and correlations. Frequency spectra are calculated from current prices, and the relationships between price swings and volatility are analyzed. This produces the forecast and the risk assessment.
Detecting herd behavior. Models of phase transitions from statistical physics describe when investors collectively fall into panic or euphoria – an early sign of possible crash situations.
Swarm intelligence. User forecasts are checked once their time frame has expired and feed into the model, weighted by their hit rate.
