- Wednesday, June 12, 1:55 PM Akamai (AKAM -2.8%) is having a rough day. optionMONSTER notes a major bearish put spread trade was made today: 4K Akamai January 45 puts were bought for $6.45, and the same number of January 35 puts were sold for $2.15. The content delivery network owner rallied strongly in April thanks to its Q1 beat and strong Q2 revenue guidance, but has been edging lower over the last month. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Tuesday, May 28, 12:00 PM Limelight (LLNW +6.3%) "is in talks to try and sell the company to Verizon (VZ) and is desperate to make a deal," Dan Rayburn reports hearing from "multiple attendees from Wall Street" at a conference he hosted. With Limelight burning cash and facing tough competition from Akamai (AKAM) and Level 3 (LVLT), there's logic to exploring a sale. Rayburn points out Limelight's management changes and Verizon's interest in growing its CDN business could lead to a deal. However, he adds Limelight has been seeing employee defections, and has heard Limelight customers criticize the "poor performance" of its CDN. Private XO Communications is also said to be talking with Limelight. 1 Comment [Tech, On the Move, M&A]

[On the Move] - Wednesday, May 8, 5:51 PM Akamai (AKAM) +1% AH after Clifton Robbins gives the company a favorable mention at the Sohn Investment Conference. Meanwhile, Equinix (EQIX) -2.2% AH in response to Rackspace's revenue miss and soft hosting services data. A Bloomberg column earlier today discussed Akamai's growing security service ambitions. Though security made up less than 2% of Akamai's 2012 sales, the company has big hopes for a recently-launched service called Kona Site Defender that leverages Akamai's giant content delivery network to stop DDoS and other hacking attacks Comment!

- Wednesday, March 20, 12:34 PM FBN launches coverage on a slew of enterprise/cloud software and Web hosting/CDN service plays. Akamai (AKAM +1.9%), Equinix (EQIX +0.6%), VMware (VMW +1.3%), Citrix (CTXS +1.3%), Salesforce (CRM +0.7%), and NetSuite (N +1.7%) have been started at Outperform, while Rackspace (RAX +2.6%), Workday (WDAY), and Concur (CNQR -1.3%) have been started at Sector Perform. Comment! [Tech]
- Thursday, March 14, 4:42 PM Akamai (AKAM) CEO Tom Leighton has bought 30K shares on top of the 50K he purchased last month. AKAM +1.4% AH. Earlier today, the CDN owner announced a partnership with top Swiss carrier Swisscom. Swisscom will act as a reseller and integrator of Akamai's CDN, app acceleration, and cloud security services in its home country. Comment! [Tech]
- Monday, March 11, 12:55 PM Akamai (AKAM -4.3%) reaffirms its Q1 revenue, EBITDA margin, and "normalized" EPS guidance as today's annual investor summit gets rolling (webcast). The CDN leader also says it will now classify certain expenses previously included in its sales/marketing line as part of its cost of revenue (thus impacting gross margin), and will begin accounting for the tax impact of various non-GAAP expenses when calculating net income. Akamai expects the latter change will lower Q1 non-GAAP EPS by $0.05, but won't affect normalized EPS. Comment! [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]
- Monday, February 25, 11:43 AM The recent selloff in Akamai (AKAM +2%) has made its risk-reward compelling, argues Macquarie, which is lifting shares to Outerpform. Akamai is doing just that as a result, after having slumped on Friday on news of Rackspace's CDN bandwidth price cut. Comment! [Tech]
- Friday, February 22, 1:20 PM A 33% bandwidth price cut from Rackspace (RAX -2.1%) for cloud infrastructure and CDN services is hurting CDN leader Akamai (AKAM -2.1%) and data center colocation/interconnection firms Equinix (EQIX -1.1%) and InterXion (INXN -2.2%). Rackspace's cuts, which also include volume discounts for storage, are eye-opening in light of past remarks about competing against Amazon (AMZN -0.5%) and other cloud rivals in ways other than price. Rackspace's move follows major cuts (I, II) from Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, and a Q4 miss that featured slowing server growth. (Barron's) Comment! [Tech]
