<\/div>\n

MongoDB stock MDB fell sharply on Wednesday after the database software company reported second-quarter results that beat expectations but failed to deliver the faster Atlas growth investors had anticipated.<\/p>\n

Shares were down 13% in trading at $375.72 after closing Tuesday down 4% ahead of the earnings release. <\/p>\n

The selloff came despite 30% year-over-year revenue growth, a higher full-year outlook and several Wall Street firms raising their price targets.<\/p>\n

Atlas growth misses investors’ expectations<\/strong><\/h2>\n

MongoDB reported that revenue from its Atlas multi-cloud database service grew 29% year over year, exceeding the company’s guidance of 26%. <\/p>\n

However, the growth rate remained unchanged for the fifth consecutive quarter.<\/p>\n

Morgan Stanley analysts, led by Sanjit Singh, said the result disappointed investors who had been looking for Atlas growth to accelerate to 30%. <\/p>\n

The analysts described this as the key issue in an otherwise solid earnings report.<\/p>\n

MongoDB shares had rallied 29% over the previous month, leaving the stock vulnerable to a pullback after the Atlas result failed to exceed heightened expectations.<\/p>\n

Revenue beats forecasts as MongoDB raises guidance<\/h2>\n

MongoDB reported second-quarter revenue of $771.8 million, up 30% from a year earlier and above FactSet’s analyst forecast of $735 million.<\/p>\n

Chief Executive CJ Desai said the company had delivered \u201cstrong second quarter results,\u201d highlighting 30% revenue growth, which he described as the company’s highest growth level in several years, along with continued profitability.<\/p>\n

MongoDB raised its fiscal 2027 revenue forecast to a range of $3 billion to $3 billion, compared with its previous outlook of $2.9 billion to $3 billion.<\/p>\n

It also increased its adjusted earnings-per-share guidance to between $6.39 and $6.58, from $5.95 to $6.14 previously.<\/p>\n

Rosenblatt maintained its Buy rating and raised its price target to $445 from $395. The firm noted that Atlas accounted for 73% of total revenue and had reached a run rate exceeding $2 billion.<\/p>\n

MongoDB also added a record 2,900 customers during the quarter, while its Voyage customer count nearly doubled from the previous quarter. <\/p>\n

Its non-Atlas on-premise business grew 36% year over year, while second-quarter operating margins reached 24%.<\/p>\n

AI opportunity supports analysts’ longer-term outlook<\/h2>\n

Despite the market reaction, Morgan Stanley said the company’s business \u201cremains very solid\u201d and raised its price target to $430 from $380.<\/p>\n

Cantor also lifted its price target to $540 from $434.21. Analysts led by Thomas Blakey said they continued to view MongoDB as \u201ca beneficiary of secular app modernization trends and dynamic AI growth trends.\u201d<\/p>\n

Analysts pointed to MongoDB’s position in artificial intelligence-enabled application development as a potential long-term growth driver.<\/p>\n

Canaccord raised its price target to $480 from $400 while maintaining a Buy rating. Analyst David Hynes said MongoDB now has two durable growth engines where the firm had previously identified one.<\/p>\n

The company’s net revenue retention rate stood at 122%, while 48% of customers spending at least $100,000 used two or more MongoDB products, compared with 42% a year earlier.<\/p>\n

Canaccord also noted that AI’s direct contribution to revenue remains small, but said the company’s AI pipeline is shifting from narrative toward more observable data. <\/p>\n

The firm expects expectations for enterprise agreement growth to be revised at MongoDB’s upcoming investor day.<\/p>\n

While the latest results highlighted continued revenue growth, stronger profitability and improved guidance, Wednesday’s selloff showed that investors remain focused on whether Atlas can return to faster growth. <\/p>\n

MongoDB now expects Atlas revenue to grow 27% in fiscal 2027, although growth in the second half is projected to slow from first-half levels.<\/p>\n

With price targets on MongoDB ranging widely across Wall Street following the Atlas growth debate, investors may want to track updated forecasts and ratings through investment platforms<\/a> before the company’s upcoming investor day.<\/p>\n
