Morgan Stanley believes that things look up from here Akamai Technologies . The bank double upgraded the cybersecurity and cloud computing stock to overweight from underweight. Analyst Sanjit Singh also hiked his price target to $115 from $83, which implies upside of 31%. The analysts said that, with shares trading at around 11 times earnings per share for the 2027 calendar year, they look attractive. He added that investors have seemingly &#8220;underpriced&#8221; Akamai&#8217;s potential for improving growth. AKAM 1Y mountain AKAM 1Y chart &#8220;We now believe Akamai is approaching an important inflection point in its long-term business model evolution that should enable better top-line growth and faster EPS growth in the years ahead,&#8221; he wrote. Coming out of the pandemic, overall revenue growth for Akamai has been stuck in a range of between 4% to 5%, Singh wrote. The company&#8217;s earnings per share has also been growing at a similar annual rate since 2021. But the analyst now believes that key drivers for better revenue growth include the stabilization of Akamai&#8217;s content delivery business, sustained high-single-digit growth in security and accelerating growth into the high teens for its compute business. &#8220;Importantly, we think growing contribution from the public cloud unit (Linode) and the recently launched Akamai Inference Cloud (an NVIDIA GPU-as-a-Service for inference offering) can not only help accelerate growth in the Compute business but also serve as a catalyst for overall multiple re-rating,&#8221; the analyst added. Shares of Akamai have slipped 1% over the past 12 months. On Monday, they gained more than 4% following the double upgrade.<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Morgan Stanley double upgrades this cybersecurity stock https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/01\/12\/morgan-stanley-double-upgrades-this-cybersecurity-stock.html Publish Date: 2026-01-12 06:59:00 Source Domain: www.cnbc.com&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":176784,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/image.cnbcfm.com\/api\/v1\/image\/108248839-17677180672026-01-06t164603z_541156374_rc2pviafhih6_rtrmadp_0_usa-stocks.jpeg?v=1767718208&w=1920&h=1080","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[24],"class_list":["post-176783","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-cybersecurity"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176783"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=176783"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176783\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":176785,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176783\/revisions\/176785"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/176784"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=176783"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=176783"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=176783"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
