Okta, Gartner, and Salesforce delivered strong earnings results and are forming constructive technical patterns suggesting potential for further gains. All three stocks, previously pressured by AI disruption concerns, are now demonstrating that AI may be an opportunity rather than a threat to established software and information-services businesses. The stocks are consolidating near highs with clear breakout levels, making them attractive for investors reconsidering the AI narrative.
Okta reported better-than-expected Q2 fiscal 2027 earnings with revenues of $805 million (up 11% YoY) and adjusted EPS of $1.05, beating consensus estimates. The company showed strong enterprise demand with customers generating over $1 million ACV increasing 20%, and new AI-agent security products contributing 30% of quarterly bookings. Okta provided positive FY27 guidance expecting 10-11% revenue growth and raised its Zacks Rank to #2 (Buy).
