MongoDB, Inc., MDB

The company posted revenue of $628 million. That marked a 19% jump from last year. Wall Street had expected just $592 million.

The earnings story looked even better. MongoDB reported adjusted EPS of $1.32 versus analyst estimates of 80 cents. That’s a 66% beat on the bottom line.

New CEO Chirantan “CJ” Desai pointed to strength in the large enterprise segment. The company saw growing demand across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Desai took over as CEO in November after Dev Ittycheria’s 11-year tenure.

Cloud Business Powers Growth

Atlas, MongoDB’s cloud database service, accelerated to 30% year-over-year growth. That metric stood out as the quarter’s headline number.

The self-service business delivered strong results. Digital natives, AI startups, and developers worldwide are choosing MongoDB’s platform for new projects.

MongoDB reported a net loss of $2.01 million for the quarter. That’s 2 cents per share. Last year’s Q3 saw a bigger loss of $9.78 million, or 13 cents per share.

The company strips out stock compensation, intangible asset amortization, and income taxes to reach adjusted earnings. These adjustments explain the positive adjusted EPS despite the reported loss.
