Analysis

Hope premium

Okta, Inc. carries what we call a hope premium: an average business trading at an ambitious price.

The price is expensive. You pay 61.1× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically expensive zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly 21% yearly growth; analysts expect 26%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

The trajectory is solid and the balance sheet is sturdy. The company scores 12/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.

What to watch: A large part of the company's book value is the price paid for past acquisitions. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
