Credit Suisse analyst Brad Zelnick downgraded Akamai Technologies to Neutral from Outperform and lowered his price target for the shares to $84 from $88. The shares closed Friday down $2.18 to $74.66. With the stock up 29% since Elliott Management’s disclosure of a stake on December 15, 2017, many of the catalysts have played out, Zelnick tells investors in a research note. The analyst views the stock’s risk/reward as “increasingly balanced” at current levels. Further, he thinks “forthcoming headwinds may overshadow longer-term upside potential and challenge investors’ confidence near term.” Zelnick sees near-term headwinds coming from difficult comparisons in 2019 and continued momentum among asset-light competitors like Fastly and Cloudflare.
