A Business Insider report shortly before the close cited numerous unnamed sources in the advertising technology industry as saying Akamai is the name that keeps coming up while chasing a rumor that Google may be pursuing a deal. The report doesn't mention any potential terms for a deal, and notes that a "high-level source" at Akamai shot down the speculation. Akamai shares are down more than 50% so far in 2011, as the developer of online video delivery technology has seen topline growth stall, and the company has been mentioned as a possible takeover target in the past. Google is slated to report its third-quarter results after the closing bell on Thursday, and its stock ticked 0.4% lower in late trades to $546.55 on volume of less than 50,000. Akamai is expected to deliver its third-quarter numbers on Oct. 26, with the average estimate of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters calling for a profit of 33 cents a share in the September-ended period on revenue of $279.1 million. -->To submit a news tip, send an email to: tips@thestreet.com
