Okta stock rating reiterated at Overweight by KeyBanc after solid Q2

Investing.com - KeyBanc has reiterated an Overweight rating and $140.00 price target on Okta, Inc (NASDAQ:OKTA), currently trading at $91.56, following the company’s strong fiscal second-quarter performance. According to InvestingPro data, analysts maintain a bullish consensus with price targets ranging from $75 to $142.

Okta delivered a solid beat across key metrics, with current remaining performance obligation (cRPO) growth of 13.5% exceeding the consensus estimate of 10%. The company’s impressive performance is underscored by its robust gross profit margin of 76.69% and consistent revenue growth of 13.51% over the last twelve months. The company raised its fiscal year 2026 revenue guidance by $25 million, increased EBIT margin by 50 basis points, and improved free cash flow margin by 1 percentage point.

The U.S. public sector continued to show strength, contributing five of the top 10 deals in the quarter. The largest deal was with a Department of Defense agency related to the myAuth roll-out, according to management commentary.

Okta’s ongoing go-to-market transition to a specialized sales model is showing positive signs, with management noting record pipeline generation, improved sales productivity, and increased channel contribution. The company also announced the acquisition of privileged access management (PAM) vendor Axiom to strengthen its capabilities in that area.

KeyBanc cited Okta’s early leadership in securing agentic AI and its position as a consolidator in the identity space as reasons for maintaining its positive outlook, raising its fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2027 free cash flow estimates by 5% and 4%, respectively.
