CyberArk Software (CYBR) and Okta (OKTA) Are Aggressive Growth Stocks

As the aggressive growth stock strategist at Zacks Investment Research Brian Bolan usually looks for stocks that have a strong Zacks Style Score for Growth and a weak Zacks Style Score for Value. This week he is looking at two stocks that are in the cyber security stocks.

CyberArk Software CYBR is a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and has a A for Growth and a F for Value in the Zacks Style Scores. The company is slated to report earnings on 8/7 before the market open and the company has a good history of beating the number. This cyber security stock is expected to show strong topline growth this year 32% and for that you have to pay up. The forward PE is bloated at 100x, so that is why we want this stock on the radar list for now.

Okta OKTA is a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and it has a A for Growth and an F for Value. This was a former holding in Home Run Investor and it might be time to add this stock again. Brian suggested in the video that this stock could see a 50% return over the next year if the company continues to beat the number and improve margins.

Just as in all of his Aggressive Growth Zacks Rank Buy videos, Brian reviews the earnings history, earnings estimates, growth projections and valuation before taking a look at the chart.
