Insights

Equity Compensation Analyst

Equity awards vested and taxes were covered via share withholding, with no open-market selling.

The transactions show Robert Blumofe earning and vesting performance restricted stock units as Akamai’s financial targets are certified. A 2023 PRSU grant yielded an additional 3,152 units, leading to vesting and conversion of 7,906 units into common shares.

To satisfy tax obligations, 2,262 common shares were used at $109.31 per share, a standard tax-withholding disposition rather than an open-market sale.

Following these actions as of February 19, 2026, Blumofe directly owns 20,218 Akamai shares and indirectly holds 114.095 shares via a 401(k) plan. These movements primarily reflect routine executive compensation mechanics rather than a directional view on the stock.
