MongoDB's quarterly results are closely watched as a barometer for cloud software demand and the durability of artificial intelligence (AI) spending. The company's Atlas platform, a consumption-based database-as-a-service offering, accounts for the large majority of revenue and has been the central driver of its growth story. Heading into this report, MongoDB had beaten earnings expectations in each of the prior four quarters, and the stock had climbed roughly 28% over the preceding month. That run-up raised the bar for the print, making the market's interpretation of guidance and Atlas momentum as important as the headline numbers themselves.
MongoDB reported second quarter fiscal 2027 results after the market close on September 1, 2026, for the three months ended July 31, 2026. Total revenue rose 30% year over year to $771.8 million, exceeding the roughly $735 million consensus estimate. Non-GAAP EPS of $1.90 topped the $1.61 consensus and was up sharply from $1.00 in the prior-year period. On a GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) basis, the company posted net income of $40.9 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, marking its third consecutive quarter of GAAP profitability.
Atlas revenue grew approximately 29% year over year to about $565.9 million, its fifth straight quarter near that level. Enterprise Advanced and other revenue increased roughly 36% to $181.2 million, the strongest result in three years. Non-GAAP operating margin expanded to 24%, up from 15% a year ago, while free cash flow nearly doubled to $137.6 million. Remaining performance obligations (RPO), a forward indicator of contracted revenue, rose 91% year over year to $1.52 billion.
Management raised its full-year fiscal 2027 outlook, now guiding revenue to $2.99 billion to $3.03 billion and non-GAAP EPS to $6.39 to $6.58. For the third quarter, the company guided revenue of $756 million to $761 million and non-GAAP EPS of $1.57 to $1.61.

Despite beating expectations and raising guidance, MongoDB shares fell in after-hours trading on September 1, 2026. The stock had surged roughly 28% to 34% over the prior month as optimism around AI-driven database demand intensified, leaving little room for a modest surprise to satisfy investors. Early after-hours trading saw the stock decline as much as roughly 13%, before paring some losses. The reaction highlighted a familiar dynamic for high-multiple software names: strong results can still trigger selling when expectations have already run far ahead, and when forward guidance implies a deceleration in growth rates relative to recent quarters.
Investors will be watching how Atlas consumption trends evolve over the second half of fiscal 2027. Management raised its full-year Atlas growth expectation to roughly 27%, but the third-quarter guidance implies Atlas growth of about 26%, with the fourth quarter suggesting a further step down due to seasonal consumption patterns and tougher comparisons.
The company's AI initiatives remain a key watch item. MongoDB has embedded Vector Search, Voyage AI-powered retrieval models, and native AI agent integrations into its platform. The Voyage customer count nearly doubled quarter over quarter, but management acknowledged that AI revenue contribution is still small and the adoption cycle remains early.
Finally, Enterprise Advanced and other revenue, which surged 36% in the quarter, is expected to be roughly flat in the second half of the fiscal year. Because large multiyear deals are difficult to predict, the timing of those contracts could introduce volatility into quarterly results. Margin expansion, cash flow generation, and the trajectory of RPO will also be closely monitored as indicators of sustained demand.
