Hello Doyle, did you buy this at $30?

I've been holding this thing since november, see no reason to bail now.

Akamai Technologies Seen Delivering Upside to First-Quarter Results


NEW YORK (AP) -- Akamai Technologies Inc. reports first-quarter earnings on Wednesday, April 26. The following is a summary of key developments and analyst opinion related to the period.
OVERVIEW: Akamai, which provides music and video streaming services for Internet content providers, counts Apple Computer Inc. as a major customer. So it bodes well that Apple's second-quarter "music-related products and services" revenue, which includes sales from iTunes, more than doubled to $485 million.

In February, Apple said that one billion songs have been bought through iTunes, and since the company rolled out video sales, its programming menu has been expanded to include shows from ABC, Bravo, NBC, MTV and Showtime.

Thanks to a couple large Internet video events during the first quarter -- the NCAA Division I college basketball tournament and the 2006 Olympic Winter Games -- Akamai may report some upside, according to analysts. In March, Akamai said it served a record amount of traffic during the NCAA basketball tournament.

EXPECTATIONS: Analysts polled by Thomson Financial expect the company to earn, on average, 16 cents per share on $85.4 million in revenue.

ANALYST TAKE: America's Growth Capital analyst Alicia Yap thinks the company can exceed consensus estimates, thanks to broadened use of music and video downloading and streaming.

Canaccord Adams analyst Mark Kelleher said he'll pay keen attention to the average revenue per customer per month.

"Average revenue per customer per month should hold relatively flat at $14,600. Recall that this number reached a low of $14,000 in the September quarter due to the integration of Speedera and a high number of new customers that quarter (new customers have lower ARPU)," Kelleher wrote in a note.

Kaufman Bros. analyst Ari Moses doesn't expect dramatic upside since much of the company's revenue is subscription based, but he believes there could be some upside, thanks to the NCAA and Olympic events.

STOCK PERFORMANCE: Shares of Akamai, which have traded between $11.14 and $34.62 over the last year, climbed 65 percent during the quarter to a close of $32.89 on March 31. Akamai shares recently traded at $33.96 on the Nasdaq.

I bought at $31 last week before the addition to NASDAQ 100 (replaced Chiron). This company will be cash cow in the future. It's a little expensive right now but look at the gross margins. Any significant increase in revenues will really push up earnings.

http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/060208/20060208005998.html?.v=1

From the last earnings release (using fully-diluted share numbers), full-year gross margins are an incredible 80.3%! Add to that [a] no debt and $1.70 or so in cash; $82.7M or $0.485 in operating cash flow. This company has the potential to triple the next 3 years by virtue of increased 'net traffic and content (think streaming video en masse; hundreds of millions of people today, billions tomorrow). Wish I'd bought it at its late-2002 bottom of $0.67!

Wouldn't sell now though. This company is an internet infrastructure play.

[Richard]

Wouldn't sell now though. This company is an internet infrastructure play.

Agreed. I bought this as a short-term play, but the more I looked into the company the more I liked it and wanted to hold it.

Yeah, buying at 0.67 would have been sweet

I toyed with the idea of buying AKAM back in Nov. 2005, but never did.  I feel really stupid now
Been performing stongly, wouldn't be surprised to see it go higher.

Now...on 1 year :

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=AKAM&t=1y&l=on&z=m&q=l&c=

It seems to have a resistance @ about 30 $

[joet]

We could see new highs here... Watch for a short entry as the gap from 32-35 has been tugging this one back from each bullish rise...   As it closed above resistence of 40.44 it may even be a swing trade long candidate.  I will do that one on paper and watch for another short entry as it crosses to new highs or RSI gets above 66 for this one
