Analysis
GoodWhale’s analysis of OKTA‘s financials has concluded that OKTA is classified as a ‘cheetah’, a type of company that has achieved high revenue or earnings growth but is considered less stable due to lower profitability. This type of company may be of interest to risk-seeking investors who are looking for higher returns. Despite its lower profitability, OKTA has an intermediate health score of 6/10, indicating that it may be able to safely ride out any crisis without the risk of bankruptcy. When it comes to OKTA’s strengths, the company is strong in growth and medium in assets. However, where OKTA falls short is dividend and profitability.
