MongoDB: It’s No Trick, This AI Play Is a TreatWritten by Thomas Hughes. Published 10/31/2025.
Key Points- MongoDB is an attractive AI play whose analyst sentiment has shifted favorably.
- Institutional trends align with solid support and a robust tailwind for price action.
- The Q3 earnings release is a catalyst to accelerate the stock price rebound.
MongoDB (NASDAQ: MDB) was on track to finish October as MarketBeat’s Most Upgraded stock. It lost that distinction only after Alphabet reported earnings on Oct. 30, beat consensus, provided solid guidance and prompted a fresh round of bullish analyst revisions. The takeaway: MongoDB—once out of favor for not meeting AI-inflated expectations—is back in investors’ good graces.
The data shows a clear shift in outlook that’s already reflected in the stock price, with a near-term catalyst that could further improve market sentiment.

Their product helps brands instantly find the right audience and message using AI – solving the #1 waste in marketing: misfired ad spend.

The catalyst is Q3 earnings, scheduled for early December. Analysts turned more optimistic after Q2, which showed momentum and better-than-expected guidance. As of early November, consensus expects only tepid sequential growth and year-over-year (YOY) expansion slowing to the low double digits.
However, the revision trend points toward likely outperformance. Based on recent analyst moves and last quarter’s report, the modest $1 million sequential gain currently priced in looks likely to be exceeded by several hundred basis points, with quarterly strength compounded by favorable guidance.
MongoDB Analysts Signals Shift in SentimentMarketBeat’s analyst data reveals growing support for MongoDB. The 39 tracked analysts carry a consensus rating of Moderate Buy. Coverage is increasing, the bias is upward, and sentiment is firming.
More than 75% of analyst ratings are Buy or equivalent. Recent activity included several upgrades and numerous price-target raises; the consensus supports further upside into early December, with the high end of targets implying roughly another 25% gain.
Most notably, Wells Fargo initiated coverage with an Overweight rating and a Street-high $430 target, citing factors such as agentic coding, software development and the proliferation of agents running on MongoDB’s platform.
Wells Fargo believes agent development is accelerating and existing agents are on the verge of scaling — a growth lever the firm thinks the market currently underappreciates.
MongoDB’s Chart Reflects Rapidly Improving SentimentMongoDB’s stock has traded in a range for some time, but Q3 action shows sentiment improving quickly and suggests the market is setting up for higher prices. The move off the range low was strong, supported by a record-high volume spike and bullish indicators on the MACD and stochastic.
Late October price action formed what looks like a Bullish Flag continuation pattern. That said, a key risk remains: resistance levels.
Although MDB broke out from its flag and posted a new closing high, it still sits below a critical resistance area that could cap gains until a meaningful catalyst arrives. In this scenario, the stock can likely advance toward $370 but may struggle to clear that level until the earnings release provides fresh momentum.
Valuation Concerns? MongoDB Is a Value Relative to Low-Ball EstimatesValuation is a concern: the stock trades at roughly 93x current-year earnings expectations, pricing in robust growth. Consensus forecasts call for low-teens revenue growth, expanding margins and accelerated earnings growth over the coming decade.
Analysts expect an earnings-per-share compound annual growth rate in the low-20s percent, which would place the stock at about 12x its 2035 earnings forecast — a projection some view as conservative. Under that scenario, MDB could potentially appreciate 100% to 200% from early-November levels as it re-rates to align with other established tech companies delivering both profits and profitable growth.
Regardless of valuation concerns, institutional investors are heavily exposed and have been net buyers since Q2. Institutional activity in Q1 featured significant selling that coincided with the stock’s decline, but since then institutions have accumulated roughly $2 of purchases for every $1 sold, helping fuel the rebound.
If that accumulation trend continues, institutional demand alone could be a durable tailwind for the stock going into earnings. |
