Cloud Computing Stock Surges Over 25%: Key Factors Behind the Rally

Cybersecurity and cloud computing firm Akamai reported first-quarter earnings on Thursday and saw its cloud infrastructure business grow 40% year-on-year.

Akamai’s shares experienced a significant jump during early Friday trading following the announcement of a $1.8 billion agreement with an artificial intelligence firm and the release of first-quarter earnings that matched analyst expectations.
The stock climbed 25% in premarket activity, with a 37% gain recorded over the last year.
According to Akamai’s CEO Tom Leighton, a «prominent AI model creator» has pledged $1.8 billion across seven years for cloud infrastructure services, though the specific company was not disclosed.
He noted, «Our security offerings are particularly well-placed to capitalize on AI’s fast development, as enterprise clients increasingly rely on our security solutions and know-how.»
The US-based cloud and cybersecurity provider revealed on Thursday that first-quarter revenue increased by 6%, surpassing $1 billion.
Revenue from cloud infrastructure services surged 40% to $95 million, while security-related revenue grew 11% to $590 million. Conversely, delivery and other cloud application revenue declined 7% to $389 million during the period.
Akamai projected second-quarter revenue between $1.08 billion and $1.1 billion, with adjusted net income per share ranging from $1.45 to $1.65.
Inference Cloud Expansion
The firm has been expanding its cloud infrastructure operations to address growing demand for AI workloads and establish itself among top AI developers like OpenAI and Anthropic, as stated by Akamai’s CTO Robert Blumofe in a recent Verum interview.
Blumofe outlined the company’s core focus areas: content delivery, cybersecurity, and cloud infrastructure services.
«Our third business pillar, cloud infrastructure services, is the newest and fastest-growing segment, despite being the smallest,» he explained.
He emphasized that Akamai already operates an AI-driven inference cloud offering computing resources, data storage, and essential tools for AI applications.
Currently, the company maintains infrastructure in multiple locations optimized for strong user connectivity, with plans to further expand and enhance resource management across its network.

Why Travelers Are Switching to Verum E-SIM This Summer

Summer Travel, Freedom, and Seamless Connectivity: Why Verum E-SIM Is Becoming the New Standard for Travelers

Summer is the peak season for vacations, long-distance trips, and new experiences. Millions of people travel abroad, explore new countries, plan adventures, and try to stay connected with family, work, and social media. And in the middle of all this comes a familiar question: how do you stay online without expensive roaming or the hassle of buying local SIM cards?

The answer is already here — eSIM.

Why eSIM Is So Convenient

eSIM (embedded SIM) is a built-in digital SIM card that lets you activate mobile internet without a physical card. All you need is an app — choose a plan and connect in just a couple of minutes.

No more:

* searching for local SIM cards at airports
* paying expensive roaming fees
* swapping physical SIMs every time you travel

Now your internet travels with you.

Internet in 150+ Countries

All of these services work on the same principle — fast, borderless internet without roaming stress.

Why It Matters Most in Summer

During the holiday season, roaming networks get overloaded, and prices for mobile data abroad often become an unpleasant surprise for travelers.

eSIM solves this problem:

* transparent, fixed pricing
* activation in 1–2 minutes
