AKAMAkamai Technologies
Is the price fair?
Neither cheap nor expensive: nothing decisive, though at the top of its own P/E range.
Priced for ~5% a year FCF growth. Roughly in line with its three-year revenue growth of 6% a year.
Expensive vs its own history: P/E 38.6 vs a 30.4 median over 41 quarters (+27% vs median).
Sector median 30.5× across 203 covered peers. EV/EBIT counts debt as part of the price, so a cash-rich and a borrowed company can be compared on the same footing.
