Data Quality
Data: HighAuth0, now a key part of Okta's Customer Identity Cloud, operates within a company that is profitable and generates strong free cash flow, with FY2026 revenue of $2.919 billion.
Last updated: March 10, 2026
Okta successfully leverages Auth0's developer-first approach and expands its AI agent security offerings, capturing significant market share in the emerging AI identity space. This, combined with strong execution in its core workforce identity, drives overall revenue growth back to mid-teens (13-15% YoY) and expands non-GAAP operating margins to 28-30%, leading to a market capitalization of approximately $25 billion.
Okta maintains its market position, with Auth0 continuing to contribute to Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) growth, but overall revenue growth remains in the high single digits (9-10% YoY) as guided for FY2027. Profitability remains strong with non-GAAP operating margins around 25-26%, but competitive pressures from Microsoft and others limit significant multiple expansion, resulting in a market capitalization of approximately $15.7 billion.
Increased competition, particularly from Microsoft Entra ID and other well-funded players, leads to pricing pressure and market share loss. Integration issues with Auth0 persist, impacting customer satisfaction and retention. Revenue growth slows further below 9% and profitability declines, resulting in a market capitalization of approximately $8.6 billion, significantly impacting common stock value.
