Keith Weiss has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Okta’s strong financial performance and promising growth prospects in the Identity Security market. Despite macroeconomic uncertainties, Okta’s first-quarter results exceeded expectations across various metrics, including current remaining performance obligations and subscription revenues. The company’s disciplined cost management led to impressive operating margins and free cash flow, further supporting the positive outlook.
Moreover, Okta’s success with large customers, as evidenced by the growth in $1M+ annual contract value customers, and the increasing adoption of new products underscore its competitive position in the market. While the guidance for the upcoming quarters reflects caution due to potential macroeconomic risks, the continued prioritization of Identity Security by enterprises positions Okta favorably. The recent share performance and mixed commentary on the macro environment may introduce some hesitancy, but the overall outlook remains optimistic.
In another report released today, KeyBanc also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $140.00 price target.
