Monitor for upcoming earnings or guidance changes; coordinated C-suite selling may indicate caution on near-term prospects despite recent stock strength. Consider this a warning sign, especially if volume accelerates.

Key Financial Metrics
Key Facts
- CFO Edward McGowan sold $982,821 worth of shares in an open-market transaction.
- COO Adam Karon sold $1.83 million worth of shares, the largest individual sale in the cluster.
- EVP & General Counsel Aaron Ahola sold $478,216 in shares.
- SVP Laura Howell had non-cash derivative exercises and a $10,115 tax withholding sale — routine and not economically significant.
- Total open-market selling by insiders: $3.3 million over 7 days (aligns with recent 30-day trend of $3.5M in sales).
- Total insider selling represents ~0.021% of Akamai’s $15.6B market cap — modest but notable given concentration among C-suite.
Financial Impact

Risk Factors
