MongoDB raises fiscal 2027 outlook after strong Q2 report
MongoDB (MDB) reported Q2 fiscal 2027 revenue of $771.8M, up 30% YoY, beating estimates. Adjusted EPS was $1.90, exceeding forecasts. The company raised its full-year revenue outlook to $2.99B-$3.03B. Shares fell 12% after-hours despite the strong report, likely due to sequential revenue decline expectations.
