As we continue through the newest season of earnings results, cloud data and security company Akamai (Stock symbol: AKAM) was one of the most recent to report. Its Q4 2023 earnings results just came out and they were a mixed bag for the company. Akamai wasn’t able to meet revenue expectations from Wall Street analysts, but it did manage to overcome all expectations for earnings-per-share (EPS).

Akamai reported its Q4 2023 earnings results on its investor relations website this week. The company put out an actual revenue of $995 million USD. That fell just short of Wall Street expectations that called for around $998 million. On the flipside, Akamai was able to put up an EPS of $1.69 per share. That overcame both the Wall Street estimate of $1.60 per share, as well as the Earnings Whisper estimate, which called for $1.62 per share.
