Okta, Inc. (OKTA-Q) is recognized as a leader in the identity and access management (IAM) sector, having maintained its top position for eight consecutive years. The company is noted for its strong performance in the double authentication space and has recently achieved GAAP profitability, which indicates that it is generating real earnings. This year, Okta aims to focus on expanding its profit margins. Analysts have set a 12-month target price of $105, although one expert suggests a wait-and-see approach regarding upcoming earnings reports, which are expected by the end of August, after which the stock could potentially be priced at $118, contingent on restoring market trust following a privacy breach. Investors are encouraged to acquire shares in increments, particularly if the stock dips into the low $90s or mid-$80s, to optimize their entry point.
Privacy breach. Has to earn back respect from the marketplace, because a lot of people got burned. 12-month price target of $118. Wait for earnings to come out and see if it can repair damage to its integrity.
Reported two weeks ago: great numbers with a clean beat and raised their quarter. Shares popped and can continue to rise, but a recent major hack involved cracking a company network by breaking into an employee's Okta logging credentials.
Has been following company closely.
Identity verification a good space to be in.
Heavy competition from Microsoft etc.
Potential for company to be bought.
"Show and prove" story for investors.
Waiting for results before buying.
Delivered a beat and raised guidance, but the street focussed on the amount of business they have not done, a number which missed expectations. The street sees slowing business ahead. Doesn't help that shares were hot going into the quarter.

(Analysts’ price target is $103.03)Pretty high-margin business. Just achieved GAAP profitability, making $$ that they can actually bank. Focus this year will be on profit-margin expansion. 12-month target of $105. Buy 1/3 here around $92, low $90s, and mid-$80s. No dividend.
