Ahead of tonight’s MongoDB (NASDAQ:MDB) earnings release, here’s the analyst playbook for the call.
MongoDB is expected to report Q2 FY27 earnings at 4:05 PM ET, with management guiding for $729-$734 million in revenue. The bigger question is whether Atlas can sustain the roughly 26% growth management has targeted for the quarter.
Expectations have risen sharply. MongoDB shares are up 34.34% over the past month, while Polymarket traders are assigning a 97.1% probability that the company beats expectations.
That makes guidance especially important. A strong quarter accompanied by a raise that pushes FY27 revenue above $2.96 billion would strengthen the case that MongoDB is becoming a major beneficiary of agentic AI and growing database demand.
In Q4 of FY26, MongoDB topped expectations by 12.08%, yet shares still plunged 22.24%. With the stock rallying into tonight’s print, investors will likely demand both strong results and an improving outlook.

MongoDB (NASDAQ:MDB | MDB Price Prediction) reports Q2 FY27 results today at 4:05 PM ET. The database platform enters the report with a $35.9 billion market cap, with the stock down 3.5% today.
Last quarter, MongoDB posted $687.6 million in revenue, up 25.25% year over year, and non-GAAP EPS of $1.32 versus a $1.1835 consensus.
Atlas, now roughly 75% of revenue, grew 29.4% and crossed a $2 billion run rate. Free cash flow nearly doubled to $197.5 million, and RPO jumped 88% to $1.46 billion. CEO CJ Desai raised full-year guidance on that strength. Shares have followed through, with MDB rising 43.65% over the past year and trading at $437.47 into the report.
| Metric | Q2 FY27 Estimate | YoY Change | FY27 Estimate | FY28 Estimate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | $734.4M | +24% | $2.96B | $3.48B |
| EPS (Normalized) | $1.609 | +145% | $6.13 | $7.34 |
The Q2 EPS bar has climbed from $1.28 ninety days ago to $1.609, with 34 upward revisions in the past 30 days and zero cuts. Consensus now sits above the guidance midpoint, meaning MongoDB effectively needs to clear its own top end to keep the beat streak intact.
Tonight, I’ll be watching Atlas consumption first. Management guided Q2 Atlas growth to approximately 26%, a deceleration from 29.4%, and CFO Mike Berry described the segment as “more predictable and less sensitive” at scale. Any reacceleration reframes the multiple.
Second, analysts are of course going to be watching AI traction. Desai said “AI adoption of MongoDB technologies across our customer base continues to accelerate,” with vector search “far outpacing overall company growth.” New Adobe, Zomato, and 11 Labs deployments should give management fresh proof points.
Third, margins. Non-GAAP operating margin expanded to 18% from 16%, and the company targeted approximately 21% at the Q2 high end. Rule of 40 status is on the line.
Fourth, EA. Enterprise Advanced grew 13% last quarter, but management guided to approximately flat EA growth in the second half. Deal timing commentary matters.
Finally, the Clarity acquisition and federal push. Investors want scope on the $10 million annual services contribution and pipeline build.
| Quarter | EPS Surprise | Day-Of Move | 1-Day Move | 1-Week Move |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 FY27 | +11.53% | +3.03% | +20.36% | +4.53% |
| Q4 FY26 | +12.08% | -22.24% | -1.87% | +7.05% |
| Q3 FY26 | +66.23% | +22.23% | +0.98% | +3.00% |
| Q2 FY26 | +52.39% | +37.96% | +7.58% | +8.91% |
On average, shares moved 3.39% seven days after earnings over the past year.
