Okta (OKTA) surged 28.6% to $172.91, a move of a size this stock sees at most a few times a year, on $2.8bn of turnover. 23.6% of it was already in the opening print.
There is a document behind the day. On August 27, 2026 the company filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is a public record and can be read in full in the commission's EDGAR system.
That leaves the price near the top of its twelve-month band of $62.93 to $172.91 — 100% of the way up it. The peak itself came today on August 27, 2026, while the floor dates back to April 10, 2026, 99 sessions ago.
The stock is up 28.9% over five sessions, up 26.9% over a month, up 91.7% over the year. It closed above its thirty-day average price by 21.7%.
High to low, the session covered 10.6% of price — well beyond the 4.6% this stock averages over thirty sessions. The close held 89% of the way up the day's range into the bell. It was the 2nd session running higher.
Worth $25bn, the company sits 66 of 156 by size within technology. The sector as a whole finished +3.7%, leaning the same way.
Trading opened at $166.15, touched $174.85 at best and $156.50 at worst, and finished on $172.91 — 0.0% short of the $172.91 annual peak, 174.8% clear of the $62.93 annual floor.
Turnover of $2.8bn compares with $478m on an average session for this stock, so participation was well above its own norm. Against the year, today ranks between the +30.1% best and the -10.9% worst day.
Recent form has been the other way, 17 of the last thirty sessions closing down against 13 up. Its strongest single day in the past year was +30.1% on May 29, 2026, its weakest -10.9% on April 9, 2026.
Its size-neighbours in the sector did not follow — HP (HPQ) -2.9% and Zscaler (ZS) +10.0% — which argues for something particular to this company. OKTA placed 31th of 986 on money traded.
