Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

What is the expected revenue growth rate for this quarter?

Revenue growth will be a key indicator of Okta's market performance and ability to attract new customers, which investors will closely monitor.

How many new customers did Okta acquire this quarter?

Customer acquisition is crucial for sustaining growth, and any significant changes in this metric could impact investor sentiment.

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The Street may be underestimating Okta's ability to sustain its growth trajectory despite market pressures, particularly in customer acquisition.

Supporting Evidence

Okta has consistently beaten EPS estimates, suggesting stronger underlying performance than anticipated.

Options pricing indicates a significant move, which may reflect greater uncertainty than warranted based on historical performance.

Key Risk

If customer acquisition numbers exceed expectations, it could significantly shift market sentiment.

Edge

Thesis-Break Levels

Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.

The market is debating whether Okta can maintain its momentum in a competitive landscape while continuing to grow its customer base.

Bull Confirmed If

An EPS of $0.91 or higher with strong revenue growth would confirm the bull case.

Bear Confirmed If

An EPS below $0.31 or stagnant customer growth would confirm the bear case.
