Oppenheimer Believes MongoDB Inc (MDB) Still Has Room to Grow


In a report released today, Ittai Kidron from Oppenheimer maintained a Buy rating on MongoDB Inc (MDB), with a price target of $135. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $104.26, close to its 52-week high of $109.97.

Kidron commented:

“MongoDB reported a strong FY4Q19, delivering excellent top-line growth (+84.5% YoY) and operating margin expansion (>29 pts YoY) while providing above-consensus guidance for FY20. Customer metrics were robust again; Atlas growth/usage remained exceptional (+111.8% YoY) as enterprise features were introduced and sales productivity rose, while larger customers rose in the mix (~31.8% of direct customers). Overall, while MongoDB’s future licensing model is something to watch, we believe the company is gradually establishing itself as the leading next-gen database provider fending off legacy and cloud competitors. Guidance seems highly conservative to us and we expect continued upside and broad-based adoption (geographies, use cases, verticals). Raising estimates for results/guidance; PT goes to $135 (from $90). Maintain Outperform.”
