KeyBanc bullish on MongoDB stock—EA growth and raised guidance fuel confidence

On Tuesday, KeyBanc Capital Markets maintained its positive stance on MongoDB , Inc. (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:MDB) stock, a leading database platform, after the company reported strong financial results for the third fiscal quarter. The firm raised its price target on the stock to $395 from the previous $375, while reiterating an Overweight rating.

According to InvestingPro data, 22 analysts have revised their earnings upwards for the upcoming period, with analyst targets ranging from $180 to $520. The stock is currently trading above its Fair Value based on comprehensive analysis.

MongoDB's third fiscal quarter revenue outperformed expectations by $33 million, a significant increase compared to the ~$12 million beat in the prior two quarters. This performance was attributed to a robust showing from Atlas (NYSE:ATCO), its fully-managed cloud database service, and an even more substantial contribution from Enterprise Advanced (EA), bolstered by $15 million from several large, multi-year deals.

The company maintains a strong financial position with a current ratio of 5.03, indicating liquid assets well exceed short-term obligations. Revenue growth remains robust at 22.4% year-over-year, with total revenue reaching $1.82 billion in the last twelve months.

Management highlighted that consumption trends exceeded their forecasts, although they remained below the levels seen in the previous year. The strength in EA was linked to the acquisition of new workloads and the aforementioned multi-year agreements.

Looking ahead, MongoDB guided fourth fiscal quarter revenue above expectations by $11 million and raised its FY25 EBIT margin projections by nearly 250 basis points.

Despite the strong quarter, KeyBanc pointed out several nuances in MongoDB's report. These included plans to reallocate resources from the mid-market to the enterprise segment, intentions to deprecate certain products such as Atlas Serverless and Atlas Device Sync, and the announcement of the Chief Financial Officer's departure. The firm also noted a seemingly greater focus on the EA segment moving forward.

KeyBanc's revised price target reflects an increase in their estimates following MongoDB's latest financial results and outlook. The raised target suggests confidence in the company's growth trajectory and operational strategy. MongoDB's stock price adjustment reflects the firm's analysis of the company's current performance and future potential.
