Analysis

Okta is a pretty boring product as an enterprise identity management system but it has great numbers as a SaaS company. Identity management is also pretty sticky since it would be a huge pain for customers to migrate to another identity provider.

Okta grew it’s revenue by 57% over last year which is quite impressive since it grew 44% the year before that. With expected revenue of 1.2B, Okta trades at revenue multiple of 31x which isn’t too crazy. With 2600 customers already paying 100K+, Okta has a huge funnel to upsell more product. Their bold projection of 4B revenue in 2026 (35% YoY) may actually be too conservative. Currently, ServiceNow has around 5B of revenue with 31% YoY growth at a valuation $130B (28x multiple). Using similar numbers, we can see Okta become a $100-120B company in 4 years (3x upside).
