Piper Sandler has confirmed its Overweight rating on MongoDB shares (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:MDB), maintaining a $335.00 price target.

The firm addressed concerns about the company's recent performance, noting a decline in growth to 13% in the last quarter from 40% in the same quarter the previous year. Despite this slowdown, the firm anticipates a potential growth rebound for MongoDB.

The investment firm highlighted the recent downturn in MongoDB's stock value, pointing out a year-to-date drop of 33%. This decline has brought the company's forward enterprise value to sales (EV/S) multiple for the calendar year 2026 estimate (CY26E) to 7.7 times, nearing its two-year next twelve months (NTM) low of 7.1 times. According to the firm, these figures present a compelling opportunity for large-cap growth investors to consider MongoDB as it approaches a period of renewed growth.

In other recent news, MongoDB's strong second fiscal quarter performance has led to multiple analyst firms revising their price targets upwards. DA Davidson has increased its price target to $330 while maintaining a Buy rating, following MongoDB's robust earnings, with a significant boost from its Atlas (NYSE:ATCO) product and enterprise agreement (EA) upside. Similarly, KeyBanc Capital Markets, Oppenheimer, and Loop Capital have raised their price targets due to the company's impressive performance.

The company's Q2 results showcased a 13% year-over-year revenue increase, totaling $478 million, largely driven by the success of its Atlas and Enterprise Advanced offerings. MongoDB added more than 1,500 new customers during the quarter, bringing its total customer base to over 50,700.

Looking ahead, MongoDB's management anticipates Q3 revenue to be between $493 million to $497 million, with full fiscal year 2025 revenue projected to be between $1.92 billion to $1.93 billion. These projections are based on MongoDB's recent performance and the analyst firms' expectations.
