Let’s see how things have shaped up for this announcement.

Factors to Consider

MongoDB is positioned to deliver robust third-quarter fiscal 2026 results driven by continued Atlas momentum and expanding AI application adoption, making the stock an attractive buy ahead of the Dec. 1 earnings release. Management’s third-quarter revenue guidance indicates solid year-over-year growth despite facing a challenging comparison from prior-year multiyear deal concentration, which was expected to drive non-Atlas revenues down in the low-20% range.

Atlas, which represented 74% of second-quarter revenues with 29% year-over-year growth, likely maintained its accelerating trajectory through the third quarter as larger enterprise workloads continued scaling.

In September, MongoDB announced the integration of search and vector search capabilities with Community Edition and Enterprise Server at its MongoDB.local NYC conference, expanding these previously Atlas-exclusive features to self-managed environments. This strategic move positioned the company to capture broader developer adoption across deployment models.

Additionally, the Sept. 16 launch of MongoDB AMP, an AI-powered Application Modernization Platform, provided enterprises with tools to transform legacy applications, potentially accelerating workload migrations.

With customer additions exceeding 5,000 in the first half of fiscal 2026, expanding Fortune 500 penetration and increasing AI application traction, MongoDB's differentiated platform, combining document flexibility, integrated search capabilities and vector search, positions the company for continued consumption growth and margin expansion.
