Okta Stock News

NEW YORK , April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Okta Inc. (NASD: OKTA) will replace Berry Global Group Inc. (NYSE: BERY) in the S&P MidCap 400 effective prior to the opening of trading on Thursday, May 1.

Okta's Q4 bookings surpassed $1B for the first time, driven by $320M from its top 25 contracts. RPOs grew 25% YoY to over $4B, reflecting strong revenue visibility and longer client commitments. Free cash flow exceeded $700M for FY 2025, with Q4 FCF margin reaching 42% and operating margins expanding by 9 points.

Amid the historic stock market turbulence at the start of 2025, the importance of cybersecurity hasn't wavered. Regardless of economic headwinds or policy shifts, an ongoing rise in online threats ranging from data breaches, phishing scams, and ransomware to attacks on digital infrastructure continues to be a priority for businesses to manage across all sectors.

Okta has crushed guidance by large magnitudes over recent quarters. I am concerned that investor sentiment may be overly optimistic, expecting large beats against management guidance despite management warning otherwise. With a PEG ratio over 2 times and peers experiencing downward re-ratings, I do not see Okta delivering market-beating returns and thus downgrade it to neutral.

Over the last century, no asset class has come particularly close to outpacing the average annual return of the stock market. But just because stocks have proved to be a bona fide wealth creator, it doesn't mean there aren't hiccups along the way.

Amid broad-market pressure, cloud stock Okta Inc (NASDAQ:OKTA) has pulled back sharply from its March 24, more than two-year high of $118.07, down 12.6% since the start of April alone.
