Apple’s New Health Tracker Gains Attention

Okta Rises On Wall Street Optimism

OKTA stock climbed to an annual high of $198.08 on Tuesday, putting it on track for a second week of gains. Shares have gained attention recently after a blowout fiscal second-quarter 2027 earnings report, in which the company raised full-year guidance. 

In August, Okta reported Q2 FY27 revenue of $805 million, up 11% year over year, beating consensus estimates, while adjusted earnings per share came in at $1.05.

On Monday, the company’s market capitalization crossed $1 trillion for the first time, making it part of an elite U.S. club of stocks. 

The surge followed a rally in American AI stocks after Meta’s Muse AI received a strong reception, stoking optimism that growing demand for agentic AI tools could drive greater need for semiconductors and cloud services.

Investors also see the shift to autonomous AI agents as driving higher computing demand, with GPUs and chips still crucial to the industry. 

On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around AMD stock was ‘extremely bullish.’ The company's shares have rallied more than 179% in 2026.
