Haben scheiß Zahlen gemeldet.
Wenn die Aquisition berücksichtigt wird, dann hat Akamai ein minus von 2,78$ stehen.

hansinluck, deine aussage zeugt von ungemeiner cleverness. wenn ein unternehmen wachsen will, gehören käufe von anderen unternehmen halt dazu. und diese zukäufe muss man BEZAHLEN und zwar mit GELD. und da so eine junge firma dies noch nicht durch mittel aus dem operativen geschäft decken kann, macht sie halt VERLUST. das geld ist doch nicht im gully gelandet, diese aquisitionen sind zu diesem zeitpunkt enorm wichtig. was jetzt zählt, ist sowieso nur der umsatz .. und der hat gegenüber dem 1 quartal um 151 % zugelegt.

die zahlen waren sogar ganz gut, aber die lock-up periode endet, d.h. einige altaktionäre verkaufen jetzt; dieser verkaufsdruck wird auch in den nächsten monaten anhalten; siehe die nachfolgende meldung:


BOSTON (Reuters) - Shares of Akamai Technologies Inc. fell as much as 17 percent on Tuesday amid concern that the end of the so-called lock-up period could trigger a sell-off in the stock by company insiders during the next two months.
The end of the lock-up period in August and September will allow the insiders to sell some of their holdings from Akamai`s (NasdaqNM:AKAM - news) initial public offering last October.
Cambridge, Mass.-based Akamai`s stock price dropped nearly 19 points to 89 in morning trading on the Nasdaq stock market. Akamai, brought to market by Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, was initially offered at $26 a share.
Company insiders are prohibited from selling their shares during a lock-up period, which is negotiated between the company issuing the IPO and the underwriter.
The lock-up period for 2.8 million shares held by Akamai`s top executives, directors and other principal shareholders expires Aug. 1. A larger sell-off could happen Sept. 13, when a lock-up period for 58.2 million shares
held by top managers and venture capital investors expires.
Akamai`s second-quarter earnings report said about 105.9 million shares were outstanding.
Bill Garrahan, an analyst with Lehman Brothers, said the decline in Akamai`s share price ``largely has to do with the lock-up period ending.``
Akamai Chairman George Conrades, in a Monday evening conference call with analysts, said he expects Akamai`s top executives to sell 5 to 10 percent of their 30 million shares over the next six months.
``We expect these shares will be sold in an orderly manner in consultation with our underwriter,`` Conrades said.
``Management remains very confident in the future of Akamai and these sales should be viewed as nothing out of the ordinary.``
What remains to be seen is how much Akamai stock will be sold by venture capital investors, Garrahan said.
Conrades said venture capital firms will likely distribute their Akamai shares to their limited partners later this summer and this fall. Venture capital firms control about 25 million Akamai shares.
``These firms have a lot of money invested in Akamai,`` Conrades said during the conference call. ``We know they view our stock as an important long-term holding and that they will be sharing that view with their limited partners when standard distributions are made.``
After ending 1999 at 327-5/8, Akamai shares have lost more than two-thirds of their value.
Akamai said Monday its second-quarter losses widened, but its revenue and customer base more than doubled.
The company increased its 2000 revenue estimate to $182 million from $172 million.
``The quarter was strong,`` Garrahan said. ``They guided their revenue estimates up for the rest of the year. It was nice to see, but it was nothing spectacular.``
