On July 8, Akamai Technologies rose 5.01% in regular trading, trading at approximately $120.10/share, with turnover of $97.63 million.

On the news front, Akamai was selected as a strategic security partner for World Wide Technology's ARMOR (AI Readiness Model for Operational Resilience) framework. Under the partnership, Akamai's security technology will be deeply integrated with Nvidia BlueField data processing units (DPUs) to offload micro-segmentation workloads, eliminating the so-called \"security tax\" and ensuring AI factory compute runs without performance degradation. No financial details were disclosed.

This partnership builds on Akamai's expanding collaboration with Nvidia announced in early June, which brought Zero Trust security architecture to AI factories. The company has been accumulating multiple AI-related catalysts, including an $1.8 billion seven-year cloud infrastructure deal with Anthropic, a BofA upgrade citing its emergence as a credible AI infrastructure platform, and the completed acquisition of LayerX for enterprise browser security and AI usage control.
