TD Cowen reiterates Hold rating on Okta stock after strong Q2 results

Investing.com - TD Cowen has reiterated its Hold rating and $115.00 price target on Okta, Inc (NASDAQ:OKTA), currently trading at $93.46, following the company’s second-quarter fiscal 2026 results. According to InvestingPro data, the company’s current market capitalization stands at $16.43 billion.

The identity management firm reported 13% year-over-year revenue growth, exceeding estimates of 10%, along with 18% RPO (remaining performance obligation) growth and strong cash flow of $167 million versus the expected $143 million. The company maintains impressive gross profit margins of 76.69%, according to InvestingPro data.

TD Cowen attributed the strong performance to large customers, Auth0, new products, and the Public Sector vertical, noting that Okta has expressed improved confidence in its outlook for the macroeconomic environment and the Federal vertical. This optimism is reflected in analyst sentiment, with current consensus targets ranging from $75 to $142 per share.

On a trailing twelve-month basis, Okta delivered what TD Cowen called a "Rule of 43 performance," combining revenue growth and free cash flow margin, while addressing an $80 billion total addressable market driven by enterprise clients that increasingly prefer platform solutions.

The $115 price target maintained by TD Cowen reflects an enterprise value to fiscal year 2027 estimated revenue multiple of approximately 6x.
