Akamai Technologies on Thursday evening reported non-GAAP EPS of $1.64 for the first three months of the year, up 17% year-on-year, on sales of $987 million, up 8%.

"Revenues from both solutions (security and compute) collectively grew by more than 20%, to account for nearly two-thirds of total sales," stressed Tom Leighton, CEO of the cloud services group.

While its board has authorized a three-year, $2 billion share buyback program, Akamai has indicated that it only expects adjusted EPS of between $6.20 and $6.40, and revenues of between $3.95 and $4.02 billion, for the year 2024.

Our updated guidance reflects the impact of a stronger dollar, a major social media customer optimizing its costs, and slower traffic growth across the industry", explains CFO Ed McGowan.
