KeyBanc analyst Eric Heath raised Okta's price target from $95 to $103 and maintained an Overweight rating, driven by an improved outlook for enterprise security spending in the latter half of the year. The upgrade reflects increased customer demand and accelerated budget approvals following the Mythos cybersecurity event, which is expected to boost bookings for identity security vendors like Okta.
