    CrowdStrike and Okta beat Q2 estimates and raise full-year guidance

    Question

    CrowdStrike and Okta beat Q2 estimates and raise full-year guidance

    Direct answer

    CrowdStrike reported a 26% year-over-year revenue increase alongside record adjusted net income, prompting an upward revision to full-year guidance. Okta also exceeded estimates with double-digit revenue and income growth, similarly lifting its full-year forecast. Market reaction was swift, with CrowdStrike rising 20% and Okta surging 30%. The results provided broader tailwinds across identity and security vendors, sending peer SailPoint higher by nearly 10%. — bullish pressure on SAIL.
