Okta Inc OKTA shares are trading higher after Goldman Sachs analyst Gabriela Borges raised their rating to Buy from Sell at an increased price target of $91 from $77.

The analyst expects cRPO and ARR to accelerate back to the 15%-20% range following cRPO deceleration in the past several quarters. 

The analyst expects acceleration in the Customer Identity segment, stabilization of the Workforce segment, and ramp-up on cross-selling related to new product cycles such as IGA and PAM.

The analyst expects subscription revenue acceleration to 15-20% in 2024 (FY25) from 14% in H2 (FY24).

However, Borges expects headwinds related to layoffs and pressurized monthly active users to weigh on NRR through H2 FY23.
