MongoDB, Inc. (MDB)
MongoDB provides a flexible, modern database platform that helps companies store and manage the vast amounts of complex data they generate every day.
Is MongoDB, Inc. a good stock for a UK beginner?
The honest version: There's no rating here and nothing for sale. In its favour: High gross margins show a very efficient core product. Worth weighing: Currently not making a net profit.
Is this normal for this company?
Each figure against the range this same company has produced recently. Neither end of a range is the good end.
Share price divided by the earnings actually reported over the four most recent quarters. The range is the same calculation at each of this company's last few results, so roughly the past year.
Profit as a share of sales, from the company's own quarterly statements. The range covers the 5 quarters we hold, and the figure shown is its most recent one.
How these ranges are built
Every number here is the company's own reported figure, not a comparison with other companies. The ranges come from this company's own results and its share price. Where it reports in a different currency from the one its shares trade in, the price-to-earnings range is left out rather than mixing the two.
What does MongoDB, Inc. do?
Think of MongoDB as a digital filing cabinet that is much smarter and more flexible than the rigid, old-fashioned systems businesses used to rely on. Companies pay to use their software, usually on a subscription that grows as the client's data needs expand. What matters most is whether they can convert their impressive revenue growth: How fast the company's sales grew versus a year ago. into consistent, long-term profit.

What do MongoDB, Inc.'s numbers mean?
How has it performed?
Growth of £1,000, the worst fall, and year by year
Over about 2 years to 2026-09-11. This is the share price only; any dividends would add to it. And it's the USD return - as a UK investor your actual £ return also moves with the exchange rate. Past performance is not a guide to the future, and it could just as easily have fallen.
How much has MongoDB, Inc. actually fallen?
Over the last 2 years of daily prices, MongoDB, Inc. fell as much as −58% from a high to a later low. Falls like this are normal when you own a share.
Past falls are not a forecast - it can fall further, or recover.
How has it done year by year?
Calendar-year total return - the share price with dividends reinvested - from adjusted closing prices. The current year is only part-complete. Past returns are not a guide to the future.
