The analysis of Okta Inc's net profit margin over the specified period reveals a notable trend of gradual improvement. Starting from a significantly negative margin of -32.93% on July 31, 2020, the company's profitability metrics reflect ongoing losses. Throughout the subsequent quarters, the net profit margin shows a consistent upward trajectory, with fluctuations evident during certain periods. The margin narrows to -31.38% by October 31, 2020, and remains relatively stable through early 2021, though it slightly fluctuates around -31% to -35%.

From mid-2021 onward, the losses deepen, reaching a low point of -67.06% on April 30, 2022, indicating that expenses substantially exceeded revenues during this period. However, subsequent quarters demonstrate a steady improvement: by October 31, 2022, the net profit margin improves to -52.19%, and by January 31, 2023, it narrows further to -43.86%. This upward trend continues, with the margin progressively moving toward positive territory, reaching -15.69% on January 31, 2024.

The most recent data from October 31, 2024, shows a near-neutral net profit margin at -1.54%, indicating a significant reduction in losses relative to revenues. Notably, positive profitability becomes apparent in the subsequent periods, with the margin crossing into positive territory at 1.07% on January 31, 2025, and further improving to 4.85% by April 30, 2025.

Overall, the data indicates that Okta Inc has been transitioning from consistent losses to a phase of profitability, with a gradual reduction in net profit margin losses over the analyzed period. The trend suggests ongoing operational improvements and an increasingly favorable financial position, culminating in a shift toward profitability in early 2025.
