Mizuho analyst Siti Panigrahi moved his MDB rating from Neutral (Hold) to Outperform (Buy) and lifted his price target by about 12%, from $290 to $325, implying more than 24% upside.
The upbeat assessment comes as a disappointing near-term financial outlook from MongoDB’s management, together with jitters about AI disruption to the industry, has sent MDB shares down about 38% since the start of the year.
MongoDB Has ‘Inflected Meaningfully’
In making his assessment, Panigrahi noted that he now sees MongoDB’s stock as a “compelling” buy following its recent fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 results. During the said quarter, MongoDB saw its revenue grow by 27% year-over-year to $695.1 million, ahead of analysts’ consensus.
Sales from MongoDB’s Atlas cloud platform also jumped by 29% year-over-year. The analyst believes that MongoDB’s growth journey has “inflected meaningfully,” meaning that it has changed significantly towards a more positive direction.
He pointed to the cloud-based database company adding 60% more customers (minus those that left) during fiscal 2026, compared to the previous year.
Furthermore, the Mizuho analyst highlighted the rise in MongoDB’s net revenue retention — how much revenue it keeps from existing customers after some leave — from 118% to 121%. Despite these improvements, MongoDB’s workforce only climbed by 1%, the analyst noted.
Is Vibe Coding a Threat to MongoDB?
Meanwhile, Panigrahi also believes that MongoDB stands to gain from the rise of vibe coding — AI-based programming done with human prompts — although the trend has pressured software stocks.
More apps mean more database workloads, the analyst reasoned.
Is MongoDB a Good Stock to Buy?
Across Wall Street, analysts remain highly bullish on MongoDB’s shares and continue to assign a Strong Buy consensus rating. This breaks down to 23 Buys and three Holds issued by 26 analysts over the past three months.
In addition, the average MDB price target of $360.88 implies about 32% upside from current levels.
