Bear CaseDownside scenario
$75.0020%

Demand slows below guidance because of macroeconomic pressure, competition, customer-growth weakness, or security-related disruption, while free cash flow margin falls below the Q3 guidance floor.

Base CaseCentral scenario
$132.2355%
Matches the consensus mean

Revenue tracks management's 10%-11% FY2027 guidance, Q3 cRPO growth moderates toward 11%-12%, and free cash flow margin remains near the guided 28%-29% full-year range.

Bull CaseUpside scenario
$175.0025%

cRPO growth remains near or above the Q2 rate, adoption of identity governance and AI-agent security broadens, and revenue exceeds the 10%-11% FY2027 outlook while strong cash conversion persists.

Scenarios are anchored to street consensus at the research date, with our probabilities and rationale.

Key Investment Risks
  • FY2027 revenue guidance of 10%-11% indicates that Okta remains in a lower-growth phase despite improving profitability.
  • Okta identifies macroeconomic weakness, cybersecurity incidents, competition, customer-growth deceleration, and technology-change execution as factors that could impair results.
