Okta, Inc. (NASDAQ:OKTA) is one of the software stocks that Jim Cramer named as potential undervalued buys. Cramer highlighted that the stock was not a part of the list, as he commented:
Beyond that, I like three beaten-down cybersecurity names, because I think security’s important enough that most companies won’t want to experiment with having AI make their own in-house replacements. First is Okta, and they didn’t initially make the list because it’s only expected to have 7% earnings growth this year. It’s kind of unusual for this good company. But not long ago, CEO Todd McKinnon told me that Okta has a huge opportunity securing thousands, if not millions, of AI agents that are being created within the enterprise, and that resonated with me, frankly. With the stock selling for just 23 times this year’s earnings, it’s probably worth nibbling at.

Okta, Inc. (NASDAQ:OKTA) provides identity management and security solutions through products that enable secure access, authentication, and governance across cloud and on-premises systems. Cramer mentioned the company during the October 16, 2025, episode and remarked:
While we’re out here in San Francisco, it’s worth digging into why this market’s gotten so hostile to enterprise software, even the parts of the sector that previously seemed like ironclad… cyber security. Take Cramer family favorite, Okta, the leader in identity verification. These guys have excellent numbers and a very strong business. The last couple of quarters showed good strength, yet the stock’s actually down more than 30% from its highs in May. In fact, it’s even below where it bottomed after Liberation Day in April. No matter what Okta does right, it doesn’t seem like the market cares.
