Investing.com -- KeyBanc Capital Markets upgraded Okta Inc (NASDAQ:OKTA) and Fortinet Inc (NASDAQ:FTNT) to "overweight," on improving demand in the cybersecurity sector for 2025, while it downgraded C3.ai Inc (NYSE:AI) to "underweight."

The brokerage expects stronger IT budgets next year, with identity and firewalls emerging as top priorities in security.

Okta benefits from its leadership in identity solutions, while Fortinet is poised for growth from a broader industry refresh and its competitive edge in secure access service edge.

KeyBanc set a price target of $115 for both Okta and Fortinet, noting their attractive valuation and potential for estimate revisions and multiple expansion.

“We don't think Fortinet's own end-of-service refresh opportunity is sufficiently captured in consensus estimates,” analyst said.

C3.ai was downgraded due to concerns about slowing subscription revenue growth and reliance on key partnerships. KeyBanc set a $29 price target for the stock, implying 28% downside.

The brokerage said Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW) was in the early innings of benefiting from an increased strategic priority of OLAP, a significantly expanded product portfolio, including in AI, adding “believe an opportunity for further improvement in investor sentiment.”
