Did AKAM Beat Earnings? Q4 2025 Results

Akamai Technologies closed out fiscal 2025 on a strong note, delivering a fourth-quarter beat on both revenue and earnings as its cloud and security businesses continued to shoulder more of the company's growth story. Non-GAAP EPS came in at $1.84, ahead of the $1.75 consensus estimate by 5.14%, while revenue of $1.09 billion grew 7.3% year-over-year and edged past the $1.08 billion Wall Street had expected. The primary engine behind the quarter was Cloud Infrastructure Services, which surged 45% year-over-year to $94 million, fueled by growing customer adoption of the Akamai Inference Cloud and rising demand for AI workloads, a trend underscored by a recently announced four-year, $200 million AI compute agreement with a major U.S. tech company. Security revenue also contributed meaningfully, climbing 11% to $592.36 million. Looking ahead, Akamai guided full-year 2026 revenue of $4.40 billion to $4.55 billion, with non-GAAP EPS of $6.20 to $7.20, reflecting continued investment in cloud infrastructure expansion.

Key Takeaways
  • Cloud Infrastructure Services revenue grew 45% YoY driven by customer interest in Akamai Inference Cloud and AI workloads
  • Guardicore Segmentation and API Security revenue grew 36% YoY
  • Security revenue grew 11% YoY to $592M, representing over half of total revenue
  • International revenue grew 11% YoY (8% constant currency)
  • Non-GAAP operating margin held steady at 29% in Q4 and expanded to 30% for full year

“Akamai delivered strong year-end performance, with better-than-expected results on the top and bottom lines. We were particularly pleased to achieve 36% year-over-year revenue growth in Q4 across our Guardicore Segmentation and API Security products, and 45% year-over-year revenue growth for Cloud Infrastructure Services (CIS).”
