Akamai Technologies Inc. (AKAM) provides services for accelerating and improving the delivery of content and applications over the Internet. AKAM offers enterprises a global platform of specially equipped servers to help handle requests for rich, dynamic and interactive content, transactions and applications. AKAM also detects and avoids Internet problem spots and vulnerabilities, to ensure that its customers' Web sites, media and software downloads, and applications perform optimally.

In the report, the analyst notes:

"AKAM has suffered a delayed impact from the global economic recession. While the recession began to impact the IT industry in 2008, the Company continued to grow revenue and profitability based on long-term contract relationships. However, AKAM's results in more recent quarters have been hurt by the reduction of new contracts and pricings in the months since the downturn. The Company sees the more recent uptick in traffic growth as a positive sign and hopes that its aggressive pricing strategies will encourage positive volume growth with its key customers. AKAM's aggressive pricing strategies are also a response to increased competition in the content delivery sector.

"AKAM hopes that while its price cuts will hurt revenue in the short term, the reductions will enable it to win contracts in advanced areas such as high definition video. AKAM sees high definition video as a growing market as it will offer quality similar with video that users are used to watching over cable or satellite TV. Demand for 'rich content' will place greater strain on Internet servers, resulting in an increase of demand for AKAM's services."
