Hello from Rob…
—Okta (OKTA, $119.45) shares outperformed this week, gaining 5.8%. On Friday, the stock hit a new 52-week high of $121.93. It’s up 51.5% YTD.
Earlier in the week, Okta was initiated at ‘Buy’ with a price target of $140 at Loop Capital. The firm argues that the identity security market is on the verge of a mass market adoption phase driven by the need to secure GenAI deployments.
Calling out Okta’s Auth0 business, Loop says the company is among the best-positioned vendors in identity. The firm expects Okta to start showing accelerating growth as early as the second half of this year.
Last month, Okta announced the availability of Auth for GenAI in developer preview. The new offering enables developers to integrate secure identity into GenAI applications, helping to ensure that AI agents have built-in authentication, specific authorization and secure API access.
Okta will report FQ1 (April) results on May 27.
