Akamai Technologies Stock Earns Technical Rating Bump, Needs A Little More

Akamai Technologies had its Relative Strength (RS) Rating upgraded from 68 to 73 Friday -- a welcome improvement, but still shy of the 80 or higher score you prefer to see.

When you're researching the best stocks to buy and watch, be sure to pay attention to relative price strength.

IBD's proprietary RS Rating identifies market leadership by showing how a stock's price action over the last 52 weeks compares to that of the other stocks in our database.

Decades of market research shows that the market's biggest winners tend to have an RS Rating north of 80 in the early stages of their moves. See if Akamai Technologies can continue to rebound and hit that benchmark.
