Benzinga - Shares of cloud-native security firm Okta Inc (NASDAQ: OKTA) are rising in extended trading Wednesday after the company turned in fourth-quarter earnings results that easily exceeded analyst expectations and issued strong earnings guidance.

  • Q4 Revenue: $510 million beat estimates of $489.36 million
  • Q4 EPS: 30 cents beat estimates of 9 cents
"Identity remains a top priority for organizations around the world and Okta is the only independent and neutral platform that brings market leading solutions for both workforce and customer identity at scale," said Todd McKinnon, co-founder and CEO of Okta.
