After tech investors licked their wounds yesterday on the launch of the Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot DeepSeek, today they saw an opportunity from the upheaval.
MongoDB's innovation, strategic investments and expanding client base position it for long-term growth despite the recent stock dip.
2025 is off to a robust start. Last month's inflation rates were modest, and the three largest stock market indexes were up year to date as of Jan. 16.
The consensus price target hints at a 50.2% upside potential for MongoDB (MDB). While empirical research shows that this sought-after metric is hardly effective, an upward trend in earnings estimate revisions could mean that the stock will witness an upside in the near term.
In 3Q25, MongoDB generated $529 million in revenues, posting a growth of 22.17% y/y. Overall margins improved, with operating and net margin improving by 510 bps and 481 bps respectively. Due to the boom of the AI industry, MDB is likely to see increased demand as there is a need for more complex data requirements and processing. MDB's pivot to focus on enterprise will also expand its current share of 2.4% of enterprise database spending, fueling further revenue growth for the company.
MongoDB's stock is under pressure, despite stabilizing growth and improving margins. This appears to be driven by concerns regarding weak consumption growth and a lack of direct exposure to AI. MongoDB continues to land new customers and expand within existing customers. AI-driven infrastructure modernization could also be a significant tailwind. When the demand environment inevitably becomes more favorable, consumption growth will rebound, potentially creating strong returns.
MDB's Atlas platform and Enterprise Advanced segments are key growth drivers, benefiting from the AI tailwind and multi-cloud adoption. Despite a share price drop, MDB's fundamentals remain strong with solid growth prospects and a resurgence in the Enterprise Advanced segment. Management's FY25 revenue guidance of 17% y/y growth is achievable, with potential for even higher growth as hybrid cloud demand accelerates.
Shares of database upstart MongoDB (MDB -0.47%) plunged 27.8% in December, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence.
MongoDB (MDB) is technically in oversold territory now, so the heavy selling pressure might have exhausted. This along with strong agreement among Wall Street analysts in raising earnings estimates could lead to a trend reversal for the stock.
MongoDB NASDAQ: MDB had a rough year in 2024, with shares down an excruciating 40% as of the Dec. 26 close. However, Wall Street analysts appear to see light at the end of the tunnel for this tech stock.
Despite recent stock declines, MongoDB's technology remains strong, with substantial growth potential driven by its No-SQL database offerings and AI integration. The company's current growth malaise is attributed to macroeconomic conditions and slower-than-expected usage growth, particularly among smaller enterprises. MongoDB is pivoting towards enterprise clients and AI-driven legacy app modernization to drive future growth, with promising early results.
MongoDB (MDB) has been upgraded to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), reflecting growing optimism about the company's earnings prospects. This might drive the stock higher in the near term.
