Stifel Nicolaus says, "Akamai's 4Q11 revenue of $323.7mn exceeded our forecast for $310.6mn and consensus at $311.7mn. The $13.1mn in revenue outperformance relative to our forecast came from strength across verticals including media and entertainment, $7.5mn above our forecast, commerce, $2.0mn, and the high tech segment, $3.5mn. 4Q11 adjusted EPS was $0.45 compared to our forecast and consensus for $0.40 as operating margins came in 135bp better than expected. The EPS beat was a combination of the revenue strength, a lower than expected tax rate, and lower than expected share count as share repurchases continued in the quarter."
