MongoDB
MongoDB's revenue rose 22.8% to $2.5 billion in fiscal 2026. Its operating margin was −5.6%, up from −10.8% a year earlier. Free cash flow was $500 million, up 314.6%. It paid out $400 million in dividends and buybacks, 80% of free cash flow. The diluted share count rose 9.0%.
Operating margin is operating income as a share of revenue. Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Return on capital is after-tax operating income as a share of the money invested in the business: debt plus equity, minus cash. Market cap is the last closing share price times the latest diluted share count, so it is approximate. P/E is the last close divided by diluted earnings per share over the last four quarters, or the latest fiscal year where the quarters aren't available; there is none when the company made a loss.
Charts show fiscal years, from the 10-K filings.

Valuation
Two ways to value MongoDB yourself, both starting from its filings: a discounted cash flow model and the price-to-earnings method.
What MongoDB says to expect
- Third quarter fiscal 2027: revenue
Revenues are expected to be in the range of: $756 million to $761 million
- Full year fiscal 2027: revenue
Revenues are expected to be in the range of: $2.99 billion to $3.03 billion
Discounted cash flow (DCF)
A discounted cash flow (DCF) model values a business as the cash it may generate in future, discounted back to today. The starting figures come from MongoDB's 10-K (or, for net cash and shares, its latest 10-Q) and the assumptions are yours: start from one of three example scenarios, then change any figure to see what it implies for a share, and how that compares with the last share price.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from MongoDB's fiscal 2026 free cash flow of $500M, net cash of $2.4B at January 31, 2026 and 81 million diluted shares, from its filings. The scenarios are fitted to MongoDB: the base scenario's growth in years 1 to 5 is its revenue growth over the last 3 years, 24.3% a year, kept between 0% and 20%; the cautious and optimistic ones are lower and higher, and growth in years 6 to 10 is halfway to the long-run rate. The base scenario's discount rate is 10%: 9% for a business of moderate risk (Application Software), plus 1 point for unsteady results (a loss in fiscal 2026); the cautious and optimistic ones use a point more and a point less. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target.
- Last close, October 26, 2026
- $389.11
- Value on these assumptions, against the last close
- —
- Cash flows in years 1 to 10, valued today
- —
- Everything after year 10, valued today
- —
- Plus net cash
- —
- Share of value from after year 10
How the value changes with two assumptions
Price-to-earnings (P/E) method
Another common way to value a company is to multiply its earnings per share by a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple: the number of years of today's earnings an investor pays for a share. A higher multiple usually means investors expect earnings to grow. Choose a multiple, for example from similar companies, to see the value it gives.
The P/E method needs positive earnings, and MongoDB's latest diluted earnings per share were negative or zero.

Piotroski F-score
The F-score counts how many of nine simple tests of profitability, funding and efficiency a company passed in a year (Piotroski, 2000). The more tests passed, the stronger the year: 8 or 9 is strong, 0 to 2 weak. Companies that report no gross profit are scored on the other eight.

| Net income is positive | Fail | Fail | Fail |
