Okta Inc Gets a Buy Rating from Oppenheimer


Oppenheimer analyst Shaul Eyal reiterated a Buy rating on Okta Inc (NASDAQ: OKTA) today and set a price target of $60. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $52.94.

Eyal said:

“Following a well-attended investor meeting with and VP IR, Catherine Buan, we reiterate our bullish view driven by our belief that: (1) OKTA’s approach as an agnostic IAM vendor positions it at the early stages of a sizable yet underpenetrated market opportunity (which we believe to be >$20B). (2) Recent investments (S&M, R&D, acquisitions) have generated a strong ROI for OKTA’s innovation, up-sell momentum (consistent 121% dollar-based retention rate), and net new customer additions (F1Q customer base +40% YoY), a cadence that we envision positively supporting future outperformance. (3) We continue to view OKTA’s underlying strategy behind its Okta Integration Network as one of the leading pillars for its steady ~+60% YoY growth over the past five quarters. Reiterate Outperform.”
