Okta shares soared 16% in after hours trading Thursday after the single sign-on company delivered a major beat in second quarter earnings.

Okta tightened its losses and projected strong growth for the third quarter and 2019 fiscal year, beating Wall Street's expectations on every metric.

“We continued to see momentum across our business in the second quarter of the fiscal year, with year-over-year subscription revenue growth of 59%, including particular strength in the enterprise,” Okta CEO Todd McKinnon said in a statement.
