#4 - Okta (NASDAQ:OKTA)
Sticking in the tech sector, the next undervalued stock we’re recommending is Okta (NASDAQ: OKTA). The company is carving out a distinct niche in the growing cybersecurity sector. Specifically, Okta provides an identity management platform for enterprises as well as small- and medium-sized businesses, universities, non-profits, and government agencies.
While many market trends come and go quickly, the move towards cybersecurity will be one that will have staying power for at least the next several years. Experts have predicted that the number of cyberattacks increased by 300% in the last year.
The company was a pandemic winner as the transition to remote work became a necessity. Okta’s products allowed employees to work safely from home. From the onset of the pandemic until the end of 2020, OKTA stock soared approximately 137%.
But the stock has dropped in value as investors continue to shift out of tech stocks. There was certainly nothing in the company’s most recent earnings report that suggests the company’s performance is going to drop off.
