On September 24, Okta Inc. rose 5.17% in regular trading, trading at $206.55/share, with turnover of $837 million. The rally comes amid sustained bullish momentum following multiple investment bank target price upgrades and growing optimism around the company's AI agent identity management products.
On the news front, BofA Securities recently raised its price target on Okta from $170 to $200, while RBC Capital Markets lifted its target to $195 from $166 with an Outperform rating. Analysts polled by FactSet assign an average overweight rating with a mean price target of $188.10. The upgrades reflect confidence in Okta's positioning in the emerging agentic AI security cycle.
The momentum traces back to Okta's Q2 earnings, which beat estimates across the board. Revenue reached $805 million, up 11% year-over-year, while adjusted EPS of $1.05 exceeded consensus by 8%. The company raised its full-year revenue guidance for the second time this year to $3.22-$3.23 billion. Jefferies noted Okta's AI agent identity products signal the start of a broader cybersecurity spending cycle, placing the company in an \"extremely favorable position.\"
