Okta reported solid QQ2 2026 results with revenue of $728.0 million and a path toward higher profitability driven by a broadened product portfolio and a more specialized go-to-market (GTM) approach. The quarter highlighted continued demand for a unified identity platform, contributions from new products (Okta Identity Governance, Privilege Access, Device Access, Identity Threat Protection with AI, and fine-grained authorization), and meaningful progress in key growth vectors such as the public sector and AI-enabled offerings. Management signaled confidence in long-term profitability through raised FY2026 guidance and a strong balance sheet, while signaling aggressive investments in AI and a broader identity security fabric.
Strategically, Okta is advancing an independent, cloud-native identity fabric that encompasses human, nonhuman (NHIs), and AI agent identities. The Acxiom Security acquisition (PAM focus) enhances Privileged Access capabilities and deepens the platform’s ability to secure critical infrastructure. Management also underscored the importance of cross-app access as an open standard to securely connect AI agents and other technologies, a framework expected to broaden Okta’s ecosystem and partner engagement. The company’s international expansion remains a priority, with a focus on top 10 countries, while the public sector (including a large DOD deal) continues to be a meaningful growth driver. Overall, the quarter reinforces Okta’s core thesis: identity as the security fabric across all identity use cases, further amplified by AI.
