Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The Street may underestimate Okta's ability to continue its strong EPS growth due to increased demand for cybersecurity solutions.

The options market is pricing a significant move, suggesting that investors expect volatility that may not align with consensus expectations.

Recent trends in cybersecurity spending could lead to higher customer acquisition than anticipated.

Edge
