Okta reports strong guidance after Q4 results beat estimate; shares jump
Investing.com -- Okta reported Wednesday strong guidance for the current quarter following fourth-quarter results that topped Wall Street estimates, driven by a slew of new business wins.
Okta Inc (NASDAQ: OKTA) was up 17% in afterhours following the report.
For the three months ended Jan. 31, Okta reported adjusted earnings of $0.63 per diluted share, up from $0.30 a year earlier, on revenue of $605 million, up from $510M a year earlier. That topped Wall Street estimates of $0.51 on revenue of $587.2M.

Looking ahead, the company guided Q1 adjusted EPS of $0.54 to $0.55 on revenue of $603M to $605M, topping estimates of $0.42 on revenue of $583.7M.
