Context and risks
The rise in 10-year Treasury yields (5.17%) and renewed concerns about AI security are pressuring high-duration technology stocks. Okta, with a P/E of 116.88 and a forward P/E of 44.58, is particularly sensitive to this environment, as its valuation depends on distant cash flows.

Verdict: Hold; the AI opportunity is real, but the valuation already discounts very high expectations and the high-rate environment adds pressure.
Main risk: The extreme valuation (P/E 116.88) is the biggest risk: any growth disappointment or persistently high rates could trigger a severe correction.
