HSBC downgrades Akamai to hold, cuts target price to $123

Investing.com -- HSBC downgraded Akamai Technologies to Hold from Buy and cut its target price to $123 from $171, citing weaker cloud infrastructure margins and slower long-term growth. The new target implies 3.8% upside from the $118.55 share price as of Aug. 6. Akamai reported second-quarter revenue of $1.10 billion, up 5.4% from a year earlier and broadly in line with estimates. The company generated $271 million in non-GAAP operating profit, 7.1% below HSBC's estimate, while its non-GAAP operating margin fell to 24.6% from 29.6% a year earlier. Non-GAAP EPS declined 8.1% to $1.59. Akamai T

How the page works

How to read the score

The score shows direction

It describes the weighted balance of qualifying headlines. A score of 50 can mean balanced news or that there is not enough evidence; the status label explains which.

Confidence is separate

Confidence measures depth, source breadth, direct relevance, freshness and agreement. It does not rise merely because the tone is extreme.

Price is confirmation

Weekly price response, trend and fair-value position test whether the market is accepting or rejecting the news. They never rewrite the news score.

What the page does

It measures news already published. It is not a forecast, recommendation or price target.

Evidence context
