Institutional Investors Show Interest in MongoDB Despite Volatile Stock Performance
MongoDB, Inc. is a leading database platform provider that has recently caught the attention of some large institutional investors. According to recent reports, Vanguard Group Inc., State Street Corp, TD Asset Management Inc., Marshall Wace LLP, and Wellington Management Group LLP have all either purchased more shares or reduced their stakes in the company. These institutions now own a combined 84.86% of MongoDB’s outstanding stock.
Despite this increased interest from institutional investors, MongoDB’s performance on the stock market has been somewhat volatile recently. Its shares on NASDAQ opened at $284.91 on Friday, May 26th, but this followed a twelve-month period which saw its stock trade between lows of $135.15 and highs of $390.84.
MDB develops and markets a range of database products including its popular MongoDB Enterprise Advanced and Community Server offerings, as well as its cloud-based Atlas service which allows users to deploy and manage MongoDB databases on any major cloud platform.
The company recently received several mixed ratings from analysts within the industry. While Citigroup reduced its price objective from $300 to $295 and issued a “buy” rating for the stock back in March, other firms such as KeyCorp raised their price objective to $264 with an “overweight” rating in April. Currently, Bloomberg lists MongoDB with an overall consensus rating of “Moderate Buy”, while its consensus target price suggests it could rise to around $257 per share.
In terms of insider trading activity at MDB over recent months, two directors have completed share sales worth millions of dollars each. However, such transactions are not unusual among public companies’ top executives and so are unlikely to concern investors unduly.
Despite continued speculation about its ability to meet future revenue targets and overcome ongoing risks inherent with operating in the database market segment as it stands today against such rivals as Amazon.com Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP) or Microsoft Azure; MDB has continued to develop and evolve its products in response to changing market conditions, while also providing users with critical support and training services. As such, many remain cautiously optimistic about the future growth prospects of both the company and its shareholders.
