MongoDB Stock Surges in After-Hours Trading
MongoDB, the intelligent data platform provider, is experiencing a significant surge in its stock price after reporting impressive financial results. Following a 1.1% dip in regular trading on Monday, shares rebounded during after-hours trading, rising by approximately 21.8%. This jump comes after the company released its third-quarter results for fiscal 2026.
Third Quarter Financial Highlights
In the latest report, MongoDB exceeded analysts’ expectations. Analysts had forecasted revenue of $593.4 million and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.79. Instead, MongoDB reported revenue of $628.3 million and an adjusted EPS of $1.32.

Management’s Optimism
CEO CJ Desai attributed the positive results primarily to the outstanding performance of MongoDB’s cloud platform, Atlas, which reported a 30% year-over-year revenue increase. In light of the strong Q3 results, management has revised its fiscal 2026 revenue forecast upward from $2.25-$2.29 billion to a new range of $2.434-$2.439 billion.
Adjusted Earnings Per Share Update
The adjusted EPS forecast has also been improved. Initially projected at $2.94 to $3.12, it is now expected to fall between $4.76 and $4.80.
Investment Considerations
Despite the recent price increase, MongoDB shares are seen as reasonably valued. Priced at 11.8 times trailing sales, the stock remains below its five-year average sales multiple of 14.7. This offers potential value for investors, especially those interested in cloud computing.
As an alternative, investors who prefer lower risk may consider cloud computing exchange-traded funds that include MongoDB in their portfolios.
