▲(6.72% Upside)
Action:UpgradedDate:03/04/26
The score is driven primarily by strong financial quality (low leverage and strong, improving free cash flow) and a solid earnings-call outlook with continued growth and margin expansion. These positives are tempered by weak technicals (price below key moving averages with negative momentum) and limited valuation support due to negative earnings and no stated dividend yield.
Positive Factors
Balance sheet strength
Substantially reduced leverage and a sizable equity base provide durable financial flexibility to fund R&D, absorb shocks, pursue strategic M&A or rollback capital to shareholders. The structural improvement vs. 2022–2024 lowers refinancing risk and supports multiyear investments.
Improving free cash flow
Consistent, rapidly improving FCF marks a structural inflection: it funds operations, share buybacks, and RSU tax settlements without adding debt. Sustained FCF growth increases strategic optionality and reduces reliance on external capital over a multi‑quarter horizon.
Atlas market momentum
Atlas is a durable competitive engine: large share of revenue, strong recurring cloud growth, rising ARR and expanding large-customer cohorts. Its hyperscaler partnerships and developer adoption underpin sustainable structural demand for cloud database services.
Negative Factors
Guidance-driven growth deceleration
Management's lower FY27 growth target signals a structural slowdown versus recent pace, reflecting tougher comps and moderated top-line momentum. A sustained lower growth trajectory would constrain long-term revenue expansion assumptions and require sustained margin gains to offset.
Revenue lumpiness from large multiyear deals
Heavy dependence on a small number of large bundled enterprise deals reduces predictability of recognized revenue and Atlas growth. This structural lumpiness complicates forecasting, resource planning and visibility over several quarters, increasing execution risk.
GAAP profitability not yet consistent
Although margins and non‑GAAP profits are improving, persistent TTM GAAP losses indicate the business has not fully converted scale into consistent GAAP profitability. Sustained structural margin expansion is required to ensure durable earnings resilience across cycles.

MongoDB Business Overview & Revenue Model

Company DescriptionMongoDB, Inc. provides general purpose database platform worldwide. The company offers MongoDB Enterprise Advanced, a commercial database server for enterprise customers to run in the cloud, on-premise, or in a hybrid environment; MongoDB Atlas, a hosted multi-cloud database-as-a-service solution; and Community Server, a free-to-download version of its database, which includes the functionality that developers need to get started with MongoDB. It also provides professional services comprising consulting and training. The company was formerly known as 10gen, Inc. and changed its name to MongoDB, Inc. in August 2013. MongoDB, Inc. was incorporated in 2007 and is headquartered in New York, New York.
How the Company Makes MoneyMongoDB generates revenue primarily through a subscription-based model that includes various tiers of service for its software products, including on-premises licenses and cloud-based offerings via MongoDB Atlas.

Breaks down revenue across different regions, revealing where the company is strongest and where it may face risk or growth potential due to local economic conditions or market share shifts.
Chart InsightsMongoDB's revenue growth is robust across all regions, with the Americas and EMEA showing strong upward trends. The latest earnings call highlights Atlas's accelerating growth, now constituting 75% of total revenue, and a significant increase in customer base, which supports this geographic expansion. Despite a slight gross margin decline due to Atlas's growth, MongoDB's strategic focus on AI and increased revenue guidance indicate sustained momentum. The company's ability to capture more Fortune 100 clients further underscores its competitive positioning and potential for continued geographic revenue growth.

MongoDB Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Date:Mar 02, 2026
(Q4-2026)
|
% Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:May 28, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The earnings call conveyed broad operational and financial strength: revenue and Atlas momentum, record ARR expansion, improved margins, strong cash generation and major enterprise wins. Management reiterated mid-term targets and provided conservative, realistic guidance reflecting visibility limits in a consumption-based business and some lumpiness from bundled EA deals. Leadership transitions and the fact that AI revenue is not yet material are noted risks, but the positive execution, large deal activity and balance sheet strength dominate the narrative.
Q4-2026 Updates
Positive Updates
Strong Revenue Growth and Guidance Beat
Total revenue of $695 million, up 27% year-over-year, beating the high end of guidance by ~4%.
Atlas Momentum and Scale
Atlas revenue grew 29% year-over-year, crossed a $2 billion run rate for the first time, accounted for 72% of total revenue, and generated $114 million of net new revenue in the quarter.
Non-Atlas Performance and Large Deals
Non-Atlas product revenue grew 20% year-over-year (non-Atlas ARR grew 13% YoY). The quarter included multiple large transactions including an ~ $90 million deal and a greater-than-$100 million EA transaction (the largest TCV in company history).
Profitability and Margin Expansion
Non-GAAP operating margin of 23%, up from 21% year-ago (more than 100 basis points above the high end of guidance); positive GAAP operating income in Q4.
ARR Expansion and Customer Cohort Strength
Total company net ARR expansion rate increased to 121% (from 120% last quarter and 119% a year ago). Customers with >= $100k ARR reached 2,799 (17% YoY growth) and customers with >= $1M ARR reached 402 (26% YoY growth).
Customer Growth and Notable References
Ended the quarter with over 65,200 customers, adding 2,700 in Q4; full year customer additions improved ~60% YoY. Notable customer wins/expansions included Adobe, JPMorgan Chase, Emergent Labs, ElevenLabs, and Axon Networks.
Strong Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
Cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash nearly $2.4 billion. Operating cash flow $180 million and free cash flow $177 million (vs. $51M and $23M a year ago). Repurchased $55 million of shares.
Large Backlog and RPO Growth
Remaining performance obligations (RPO) grew from $748 million to $1.47 billion, a 97% year-over-year increase, reflecting multiyear bookings strength.
Forward Guidance Reiterated and Investment Plan
Q1 FY27 revenue guidance $659M–$664M (20%–21% YoY); FY27 revenue guidance $2.86B–$2.90B (16%–18% YoY). Company plans to expand operating margin by ~100 bps in FY27 and commit 100% of free cash flow to buybacks and tax settlements.
Negative Updates
AI Revenue Not Yet Material
Management reiterated that AI-related revenue is encouraging but remains early and not yet a material driver of results; many AI-native customers are still early in their MongoDB journeys.
Deceleration in Full-Year Growth Guidance
FY27 revenue growth guidance of 16%–18% implies a material deceleration from the 27% YoY growth reported in the current quarter (a decline of roughly 9–11 percentage points versus the most recent YoY pace).
Visibility and Predictability Risks from EA Bundling
One very large bundled transaction caused revenue attribution to shift toward Enterprise Advanced (EA) and reduced reported Atlas growth by roughly 1 point; management noted bundled multiyear deals add forecasting variability and make Atlas visibility less certain.
Conservative Near-Term Non-Atlas Outlook
Non-Atlas guidance is modest: mid- to upper-single-digit growth in Q1 and low- to mid-single-digit growth for FY27, reflecting uncertainty in multiyear deal cadence and duration effects.
Leadership Transition Risks
Departures announced for the President of Field Operations and CRO; management is running a CRO search and expects no disruption, but transitions introduce near-term execution uncertainty that was factored into guidance.
Dependence on Large Multiyear Deals
Quarterly results and cash inflows were notably aided by a small number of very large multiyear EA deals; reliance on such lumpiness can increase quarter-to-quarter volatility.
Company Guidance
MongoDB guided Q1 FY27 revenue of $659–$664M (20–21% y/y), non‑GAAP operating income of $105–$109M (~16.5% operating margin at the high end) and non‑GAAP EPS of $1.15–$1.19 on ~86.2M diluted shares (assumes 20% non‑GAAP tax). For full‑year FY27 it guided revenue of $2.86–$2.90B (16–18% growth), non‑GAAP operating income of $545–$565M (~19.5% margin at the high end) and non‑GAAP EPS of $5.75–$5.93 on ~86.7M diluted shares (20% tax). Management expects Atlas growth of ~26% in Q1 and 21–23% for FY27 (targeting >20% long‑term), non‑Atlas growth of mid‑to‑upper single digits in Q1 and low‑to‑mid single digits for FY27, plans to expand operating margin by ~100 bps in FY27, expects operating cash conversion of ~80–100% for the year, and will commit 100% of FY27 free cash flow to share buybacks and RSU tax settlements; guidance assumes a relatively stable business environment and carries conservative assumptions around EA multiyear deal visibility.

MongoDB Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Strong balance sheet (very low leverage, sizable equity base) and clearly positive, rapidly improving free cash flow support a higher score. Offsetting this, GAAP profitability is not yet consistently positive and revenue growth has moderated, keeping the score below top-tier.
Income Statement
62
Positive
MongoDB shows strong top-line scale and durable gross profitability, with revenue reaching $2.46B in TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months) and gross margin holding ~72%. Growth has moderated meaningfully (TTM revenue growth ~6% vs. much higher levels in earlier years), but profitability is improving: losses have narrowed materially from 2022–2023 levels to a modest net loss in TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months) (~-3% net margin). The key weakness remains that operating results are still negative (EBIT and EBITDA below zero), indicating the model has not yet consistently crossed into GAAP profitability.
Balance Sheet
84
Very Positive
The balance sheet has strengthened significantly, highlighted by very low leverage in TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months) (debt-to-equity ~0.01) and a large equity base (~$3.0B) supporting a ~$3.76B asset base. This is a major improvement versus 2022–2024, when leverage was much higher (debt-to-equity >1). The main drawback is that returns on equity remain negative in TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months), reflecting continued net losses despite the improved capital structure.
Cash Flow
87
Very Positive
Cash generation is a clear strength. In TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months), operating cash flow is ~$513M and free cash flow is ~$510M, with very strong free-cash-flow growth (~44%). This marks a major inflection from 2021–2023 when operating and free cash flow were weak or negative. A remaining watch item is that cash flow performance can be volatile year-to-year, but the current trajectory is firmly positive and supportive of funding operations without relying on debt.

MongoDB Announces Leadership Changes and Governance Enhancements
Positive
Mar 2, 2026

MongoDB reported fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 results on March 2, 2026, with revenue up 27% year-over-year to $695.1 million and full-year revenue up 23% to $2.46 billion, driven by strong Atlas growth and broad-based demand across product lines. The company delivered GAAP breakeven operating results, stronger non-GAAP profitability, robust free cash flow of $176.7 million for the quarter and expanded its customer base to more than 65,200, underscoring improved operating leverage and a rule-of-40 profile.

Product and ecosystem moves focused heavily on AI, including integrating its core database with Voyage AI models, launching new embedding and vector search capabilities, debuting AI-powered data operations assistants and expanding the MongoDB for Startups program, which now spans startups with over $200 billion in aggregate valuation. MongoDB also deepened its strategic positioning with hyperscaler partners, being recognized as AWS Global Technology Partner of the Year, highlighting the importance of Atlas within cloud-based AI and modernization workloads.

The company announced several leadership and governance changes, including the planned April 15, 2026 resignation of President, Field Operations Cedric Pech under a separation agreement and the departures of President of Field Operations and the Chief Revenue Officer as part of a long-planned go-to-market transition. To support its next phase of growth, MongoDB appointed former Deloitte and ServiceNow executive Erica Volini as Chief Customer Officer, named Kong Phan as Chief Accounting Officer and principal accounting officer effective April 14, 2026, temporarily designated CFO Michael Berry as interim principal accounting officer, and amended its bylaws to introduce proxy access for long-term shareholders.

MongoDB issued guidance for the first quarter and full fiscal year 2027 indicating continued double-digit top-line growth alongside a gap between GAAP and non-GAAP profitability as it continues to invest in growth and AI initiatives. The outlook, combined with rising operating efficiency and a strengthened governance framework that broadens shareholder nomination rights, suggests the company is balancing aggressive expansion in AI and cloud data markets with increasing attention to margin discipline and investor influence.

The most recent analyst rating on (MDB) stock is a Buy with a $425.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on MongoDB stock, see the MDB Stock Forecast page.
