What MongoDB does

US database software company selling a document-oriented (NoSQL) database used to build modern applications.

Atlas, its hosted database, bills by usage, so revenue grows as customers' applications grow rather than by seat count, and it has become the largest part of the business. The older Enterprise product is sold as annual licences for customers who run it themselves. A free community version feeds developer interest.

Products and services

  • MongoDB Atlas (cloud database)
  • MongoDB Enterprise (self-managed)
  • Search/vector search add-ons

Customers

  • Software developers
  • Enterprises building custom applications

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Software (database)
  • NoSQL document database
  • Software developers/enterprises…

What could go right

  • Cloud database migration growth
  • AI application development driving new workloads

What could go wrong

  • Cloud provider (AWS/Azure) native database competition
  • Customer usage-based revenue volatility

Moat: narrow (switching costs, installed base, network effects). Once an application's data model is built on MongoDB, migrating databases is costly and risky.

MongoDB at a glance

Size MongoDB (MDB) is a United States Information Technology company (Packaged Software) with a market value of $25.2B, the 423rd largest of 3,117 United States companies the cockpit tracks. Shares closed at $312.83 on 6 Nov 2026.

Performance Over six months the shares gained 4.5%, against +8.9% for the median peer and -1.1% for the United States market (cap-weighted) — 9th lowest of 19 in its peer set.

Growth Revenue grew 25.4% over the last twelve months (peer median +23.8%); the operating margin is -0.5% (peer median 7.6%).

Valuation It trades at 44.7× forward earnings against a peer median of 27.1× (4th most expensive of 17).

Price implies For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about 28% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +33%, so the hurdle is -5 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.

Questions

Who are MongoDB's main competitors?
Named competitors: Oracle (ORCL), Amazon (DynamoDB) (AMZN), Microsoft (Cosmos DB) (MSFT), Couchbase (private or unlisted). The cockpit's measured peer set (industry) also includes CoreWeave (CRWV), Zoom Communications (ZM), Samsara (IOT), Z.AI Co., Ltd. -H- Reg S (2513.HK), Amadeus IT (AMS.MC), Hithink RoyalFlush Information Network (300033.SZ).
Is MongoDB expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 44.7× against a peer median of 27.1×, 4th most expensive of 17 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about 28% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +33%, so the hurdle is -5 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has MongoDB stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned +4.5% against +8.9% for the median peer; over one year -10.7%.
What is MongoDB's backlog?
MongoDB's remaining performance obligations (contracted revenue not yet recognised) were $1.52B at 31 Jul 2026, +91% on a year earlier.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
