On July 7, Okta rose 5.07% in regular trading, trading at $148.53/share, with turnover of $176 million. The rally was driven by Scotiabank upgrading Okta from Sector Perform to Sector Outperform and raising its price target from $135 to $165, implying approximately 11% upside from current levels.
The upgrade follows a series of bullish analyst actions in recent months. UBS raised its target to $150 in early June maintaining a Buy rating, while Berenberg, Oppenheimer, and Morgan Stanley all expressed positive outlooks following Okta's strong fiscal Q1 results. The company reported non-GAAP EPS of $0.91, beating estimates by 7%, with revenue of $765 million growing 11.2% year-over-year. Management also raised full-year earnings guidance to $3.79–$3.87 per share. Analysts have highlighted Okta's positioning in Agentic AI identity management as a key growth catalyst, with the company investing in tools such as Okta for AI agents. According to FactSet, the current consensus rating stands at overweight with a mean target of $122.56.
