On June 2, Akamai Technologies rose 5.05% in regular trading, trading at $162.13/share, with trading volume of $223 million.

On the news front, Anthropic signed a 7-year, $1.8 billion cloud agreement with Akamai Technologies on May 28. Anthropic, which recently completed its Series H financing round and launched the Opus 4.8 model with its valuation reaching the trillion-dollar level, has chosen Akamai as its cloud infrastructure partner. This deal positions Akamai to secure a long-term, stable revenue stream from a major client in AI inference and content delivery.

The contract is considered substantial in scale relative to Akamai's existing business, and the market views the commercial value of this partnership positively. Akamai provides cloud computing, security, and content delivery services globally, and this agreement further strengthens its positioning in the rapidly expanding AI infrastructure space.
