MDB Rides on New Launches and Customer Wins
MongoDB shares have gained 8.7% in the past month, outperforming the Zacks Computer and Technology sector’s appreciation of 8.1% and the Zacks Internet – Software industry’s return of 7%. The outperformance has been partly due to a stellar fiscal first-quarter performance with revenues growing year over year, accompanied by raised guidance for fiscal 2026.
MDB’s One-Month Price Performance

MongoDB continues to gain traction even as rivals like Amazon’s AMZN DynamoDB and Couchbase BASE expand their presence. Amazon recently introduced multi-region strong consistency for DynamoDB Global Tables, while Couchbase deepened its India footprint with a new state-of-the-art office. Still, MongoDB added the most number of new customers in over six years in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, with strong enterprise wins like CSX and Zepto, highlighting adoption across industries despite moves by Amazon and Couchbase.
In the reported quarter, MongoDB launched version 8.0, with adoption doubling that of the previous major version. The company advanced its AI capabilities with Voyage 3.5, which improved embedding accuracy and cut storage costs by more than 80%. MongoDB plans to launch in-platform embedding generation soon, further supporting its position as a unified, AI-ready platform.
Revenues grew 22% year over year to $549 million, with Atlas up 26% and operating income more than doubling to $87 million in the fiscal first quarter.
For fiscal 2026, MongoDB now expects revenues in the range of $2.25 billion to $2.29 billion, an increase of $10 million from its prior guidance. Non-GAAP earnings per share are expected to be between $2.94 and $3.12.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for MongoDB’s fiscal 2026 revenues is pegged at $2.28 billion, indicating growth of 13.48% on a year-over-year basis.
The consensus mark for fiscal 2026 earnings is pinned at $3.03 per share, which has been revised upward by 18.36% over the past 30 days. The estimate indicates a year-over-year decline of 17.21%.

MDB Strengthens AI Edge with Integrated Platform
MongoDB has been steadily benefiting from the rising demand for AI-powered applications. The company’s document model is well-suited for handling fast-changing, unstructured data required by real-world AI. The acquisition of Voyage AI strengthened this capability further, with Voyage 3.5 improving embedding accuracy and cutting storage costs significantly.
MongoDB’s unified platform combines real-time data, retrieval and search, helping developers avoid complex integrations. Companies like LG Uplus are using their AI tools to support thousands of agents with faster, more accurate responses, reinforcing MongoDB’s position in the AI space.
An expanding partner base is noteworthy. MongoDB recently announced backup integration with Rubrik RBRK and Cohesity. These partnerships enhance data protection for enterprise customers, especially in hybrid cloud environments. Positive sentiment around MongoDB’s collaboration with Rubrik and Cohesity, along with broader growth signals, has contributed to the recent share price gains. Rubrik and Cohesity’s involvement reinforces MDB’s focus on enterprise-grade resilience.
Conclusion: Time to Buy MDB Stock?
MongoDB’s shares are undeniably expensive, yet upward estimate revisions and improving profitability give that premium real support. The valuation underscores market confidence in the company’s ability to deliver innovation-led growth, even amid macroeconomic uncertainties. Continued enterprise adoption, product innovation and raised guidance suggest the stock is well-positioned for long-term growth.
MongoDB stock is currently trading above the 50-day moving average, indicating a bullish trend.

MongoDB Trades at a P/S of 7.08X: Should You Still Buy MDB Stock?

In recent trading, shares of Couchbase Inc (Symbol: BASE) have crossed above the average analyst 12-month target price of $22.03, changing hands for $24.49/share. When a stock reaches the target an analyst has set, the analyst logically has two ways to react: downgrade on valuation, or, re-adjust their target price to a higher level. Analyst reaction may also depend on the fundamental business developments that may be responsible for driving the stock price higher — if things are looking up for the company, perhaps it is time for that target price to be raised.
There are 16 different analyst targets within the Zacks coverage universe contributing to that average for Couchbase Inc, but the average is just that — a mathematical average. There are analysts with lower targets than the average, including one looking for a price of $16.00. And then on the other side of the spectrum one analyst has a target as high as $26.00. The standard deviation is $2.648.
But the whole reason to look at the average BASE price target in the first place is to tap into a "wisdom of crowds" effort, putting together the contributions of all the individual minds who contributed to the ultimate number, as opposed to what just one particular expert believes. And so with BASE crossing above that average target price of $22.03/share, investors in BASE have been given a good signal to spend fresh time assessing the company and deciding for themselves: is $22.03 just one stop on the way to an even higher target, or has the valuation gotten stretched to the point where it is time to think about taking some chips off the table?

Insider Sale: Director at $BASE Sells 7,933 Shares

Snowflake Inc. (SNOW) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.24 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.22 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.14 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 9.09%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post earnings of $0.17 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.30, delivering a surprise of 76.47%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.
Snowflake, which belongs to the Zacks Internet - Software industry, posted revenues of $1.04 billion for the quarter ended April 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.74%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $828.71 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Snowflake shares have added about 18.4% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 1%.
What's Next for Snowflake?
While Snowflake has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Snowflake: mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.26 on $1.06 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.15 on $4.44 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Internet - Software is currently in the top 26% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
One other stock from the same industry, Couchbase, Inc. (BASE), is yet to report results for the quarter ended April 2025. The results are expected to be released on June 3.
This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.08 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +20%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 1.3% lower over the last 30 days to the current level.
Couchbase, Inc.'s revenues are expected to be $55.43 million, up 8% from the year-ago quarter.

Snowflake Inc. (SNOW) Beats Q1 Earnings and Revenue Estimates

MongoDB MDB shares have plunged 54.1% in the trailing 12 months, underperforming the Zacks Computer and Technology sector, the S&P 500 index and the Zacks Internet - Software industry’s return of 3.1%, 6.9% and 10.4%, respectively.
The company is facing a challenging near-term landscape due to an uncertain macroeconomic climate and rising competitive pressures. The stock has also been swept up in the broader market sell-off, driven by concerns over reduced consumer demand and the trade war. Let’s take a closer look at the key factors weighing on the stock, which should serve as a warning for investors.
MDB’s Competition is a Challenge
MongoDB faces tough competition from companies like Amazon’s AMZN DynamoDB, Couchbase BASE and Oracle ORCL, among others. Amazon DynamoDB is a fast NoSQL database, ideal for apps needing quick reads and writes with real-time data access. Oracle Database offers strong indexing and query optimization, making it great for fast and efficient data retrieval. Couchbase performs well in high-speed, offline, and mobile-first environments. It also has built-in caching for faster data access and uses an SQL-like query language. Shares of Oracle have gained 10.1% in the trailing 12 months, while Amazon and Couchbase have lost 2.7% and 40%, respectively.
This competitive landscape puts pressure on MongoDB’s market share and growth potential, especially as rivals continue to enhance performance and integration features. With stronger-performing peers gaining market share, MDB’s positioning appears increasingly vulnerable.
MongoDB, Inc. Price and Consensus
MongoDB, Inc. price-consensus-chart | MongoDB, Inc. Quote
MDB’s Margins and Growth Trajectory Raise Concerns
MongoDB’s operating margin is expected to decline from 15% in fiscal 2025 to 10% in fiscal 2026, signalling a weakening profitability trend. The drop is largely due to the $50 million high-margin, multiyear license revenues that were incurred in fiscal 2025 and won’t repeat again, and increased spending on R&D and marketing initiatives. These investments, including the $220 million Voyage AI acquisition, are unlikely to drive immediate returns.
Moreover, the company’s gross margin slipped from 77% to 75% in fiscal 2025, as Atlas, MongoDB’s lower-margin cloud product, now accounts for 71% of revenues. Despite its scale, Atlas’ growth is expected to remain flat year over year. Meanwhile, the non-Atlas business continues to decline, adding to growth headwinds in fiscal 2026.
MDB Offers Disappointing Fiscal 2026 Guidance
For fiscal 2026, the company projects revenues between $2.24 billion and $2.28 billion, reflecting a modest 12.4% year-over-year growth at the midpoint, down sharply from 19% year-over-year growth recorded in fiscal 2025. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pinned at $2.26 billion, implying year-over-year growth of 12.88%.
The consensus mark for earnings is pegged at $2.66 per share, which has been revised downward by 2.2% over the past 30 days, indicating a year-over-year decline of 27.32%.
MDB beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings in each of the trailing four quarters, with the average surprise being 62.04%.
Find the latest EPS estimates and surprises on Zacks Earnings Calendar.
Conclusion: Time to Sell MDB Stock
Given the intense competition, pressured margins, weaker revenue guidance and broader market pressures, it appears prudent for investors to sell MongoDB stock for now.
The company’s non-Atlas revenues are declining, free cash flow has nearly halved, and operating margins are under pressure. With high R&D spending offering limited short-term returns and Atlas growth stalling, MongoDB faces too many headwinds to justify holding the stock in the near term. MDB currently carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell), suggesting that it may be wise for investors to stay away from the stock for the time being.

Zacks Names #1 Semiconductor Stock
It's only 1/9,000th the size of NVIDIA which skyrocketed more than +800% since we recommended it. NVIDIA is still strong, but our new top chip stock has much more room to boom.
With strong earnings growth and an expanding customer base, it's positioned to feed the rampant demand for Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Internet of Things. Global semiconductor manufacturing is projected to explode from $452 billion in 2021 to $803 billion by 2028.
