Why MongoDB Fell This Week
MongoDB's (MDB) stock fell 14.5% this week despite strong Q2 results, with revenue up 30.5% to $771.8M and EPS up 90% to $1.90, both beating expectations. The company raised guidance, but investors were underwhelmed by slower growth in its Atlas segment, which now accounts for 73% of revenue. MongoDB trades at 59x EPS and 10x revenue estimates.
