How it trades on rate days

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.27 — shows only a loose link to bond moves for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Okta Inc moved 0.27% on average · correlation 0.04 · higher than 26% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months 0.31 about the same as over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days +0.77% on average against −0.74% for the S&P 500 the 10 sessions of the past year in which TLT fell most, i.e. long yields rose most
  • Latest of those days +0.62% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24

Company snapshot — Okta Inc

OKTA in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelooknet stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
Okta provides identity and access management software that lets organisations verify who, or what, is trying to reach their systems. Its tools cover single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, directory services and governance for both human staff and machine accounts. It has extended this into agent identity, letting firms register, authenticate and govern software agents that act on behalf of users. It is based in San Francisco and sells mainly through cloud subscriptions to enterprise customers.
Where it sits in the stack
Okta sits in our Agentic Winners 40, the diary's sleeve for firms enabling autonomous software agents; it forms the identity layer that verifies each agent action before it can touch data. As agents multiply, they need the same authentication checks as human users, so Okta becomes a gatekeeper any agent workflow must pass through.
Who it is priced against
Closelooknet's peer group prices Okta against identity and security names — SailPoint, Microsoft, CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks — reflecting how the market weighs its access-control role against broader platform rivals.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
Okta holds a seat in the Agentic Winners 40 and carries a Closelooknet score, strongest on momentum and weakest on valuation. The diary has quoted it in a dossier on agent identity, a 101 explainer on the digital labour economy, and a midday market note tracking security-sector moves.
What the diary watches
Whether non-human identity management, covering agents rather than people, becomes a distinct revenue line the diary can track separately from core workforce identity.

Okta Inc (OKTA) trades on US exchanges, classified under Technology. Constituent of Agentic Winners 40.
