MongoDB jumps 15% after company boosts guidance, cites confidence in cloud-based database service

CNBC05-06-2025
MongoDB shares surged 15% after the software company surpassed fiscal first-quarter earnings expectations and raised its outlook, citing growing confidence in its cloud-based database service.
Revenues hit $549 million during the period, jumping 22% from more than $450 million in the year-ago period. That topped a $528 million estimate from analysts polled by LSEG. Adjusted earnings per share reached $1.00, surpassing the 66 cents per share projected by analysts.
"We are confident in our position to drive profitable growth as we benefit from this next wave of application development," said CEO and president Dev Ittycheria in a release.
For the 2026 fiscal year, MongoDB raised its guidance, saying it now expects between $2.25 billion and $2.29 billion in revenue and $2.94 to $3.12 in adjusted earnings per share. MongoDB previously forecast revenues between $2.24 billion and $2.28 billion and adjusted earnings of $2.44 to $2.62 per share for the year.
MongoDB expects revenues to range between $548 million and $553 million in the current fiscal quarter. Adjusted earnings are forecasted to reach 62 cents to 66 cents per share during the period.
During a company earnings call, finance chief Mike Berry cited "continued confidence" in its Atlas cloud-based database services and "timing differences" in its Enterprise Advanced database business as the reason for the guidance boost. Berry took over the role at the end of May.
MongoDB said revenues for Atlas during the quarter grew 26% from a year ago and accounted for 72% of total revenues.
"As digital transformation and public cloud adoption remain top priorities, we believe MongoDB is well positioned to capitalize on growth from net new workloads and re-platforming of legacy applications," wrote Goldman Sachs analyst Kash Rangan in a note to clients.
The database software maker's net loss narrowed from a year ago to $37.6 million, or a loss of 46 cents per share. That's down from a net loss of $80.6 million, or a loss of $1.10 per share last year.
The company also boosted its share buyback plan by $800 million to $1 billion.

London Stock Exchange parent exploring 24-hour trading launch, FT reports

The London Stock Exchange Group is weighing whether to launch 24-hour trading and is looking into the practicalities of increasing its trading hours, the Financial Times reported on Sunday, citing people familiar with the situation. LSEG is 'absolutely looking at it, whether it means 24-hour trading or extended trading,' one of the people told the newspaper, adding that the exchange group was 'having important commercial, policy and regulatory discussions' about the 'ongoing topic.' The exploration is part of wide-ranging discussions into potential new products and services, another person told the FT. The London Stock Exchange's parent company has struggled to attract new listings, prompting reforms last year to make it more competitive with New York and the European Union after Brexit. REUTERS LSEG had no comment. The group is considering aspects of extended trading hours, including technology upgrades, regulatory questions, possible effects on companies with dual listings and the potential impact on liquidity, currently concentrated at the open and closing auction of the trading day, the report added. In March, Nasdaq announced plans to introduce 24-hour trading on its flagship U.S. exchange and joined rival exchanges like Cboe Global Markets and Intercontinental Exchange, the operator of the New York Stock Exchange, in planning extended trading hours. LSEG, which runs the London Stock Exchange and provides data and analytics to banks and other institutions, reported stronger than expected first-quarter income in May, driven by robust growth in its markets division, and a strong performance across its other businesses.

LSE plots 24-hour trading to revive interest in shares

Shares in UK-listed companies could be traded 24 hours a day under radical plans from the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) to tap into booming demand from night owl traders. The LSEG, which owns the flagship London stock market, is accelerating plans to launch a 24-hour trading platform to boost the appeal of the gloomy UK market and encourage overseas investors and younger traders to buy British shares. Changing trading patterns in the US, where transactions are increasingly done outside of working hours by a new generation of Gen Z retail investors on smartphone apps, is leaving traditional bourses exposed. Cryptocurrency markets, such as Bitcoin trading, already trade around the clock and more people trade shares in the small hours on platforms like Robinhood, making traditional market hours increasingly anachronistic. London-listed shares currently only trade between 8am and 4pm. The LSEG declined to comment on the plan, first reported by the Financial Times, but chief executive David Schwimmer has made no secret of his desire to boost the London market. Mr Schwimmer has transformed LSEG into a data and technology giant to rival Bloomberg following a $27bn (£21bn) takeover of Refinitiv, with the stock exchange now accounting for just 3pc of the group's revenues. Britain's stock market is facing a crisis after shrinking trading volumes and a dearth of new listing. Recent tax raids by the Government and tariffs woes have also dented companies. According to figures released by EY on Monday, UK-listed companies issued 59 profit warnings during the second quarter of 2025, a 20pc rise compared to the same period last year. A shift to 24-hour trading would mirror strides in the US where so-called 'dark pools' – which are private exchanges where buyers and sellers meet in secret – have become increasingly popular ways to trade shares overnight. Some dark pools, such as Blue Ocean, allow for shares to be traded once US markets close and last year the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved a licence for a new Bermuda-based trading platform 24X to offer out-of-hours trading. Mainstream US stock exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) have sought to keep pace with the developments by extending trading hours. The NYSE asked the SEC for permission to extend its trading window outside of its traditional 9:30pm to 4pm time earlier this year. However any move to extend trading hours is likely to face fierce criticism from conventional fund managers. They use the closing price of shares to set the value of their funds, with trillions of pounds dependent on the closing price. Round-the-clock trading would make setting prices even more difficult, while fund managers are likely to resist moves to monitor the market 24/7.

Earnings playbook: The reporting season heats up with Alphabet and Tesla on deck

The corporate earnings season heats up this week with some of the largest companies in the world set to report. More than 100 S & P 500 names are scheduled to post their latest quarterly figures, including Tesla, Alphabet and Coca-Cola. Those numbers come after a solid start to the reporting period. Of the roughly 59 S & P 500 names that have posted results, 86% have topped expectations, according to FactSet. Among those are Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan. Take a look at CNBC Pro's breakdown of what to expect in this week's key reports. All times are ET. Tuesday Coca-Cola is set to report earnings before the bell, followed by a conference call at 8:30 a.m. Last quarter: KO maintained its full-year outlook and said it expects tariff disruptions to be "manageable." This quarter: Analysts polled by LSEG expect roughly flat year-over-year earnings and revenue from the beverage giant. What to watch: Investors will look for updates on whether the company will move forward with a plan to switch to cane sugar from high fructose corn syrup for its drinks the U.S. — like President Donald Trump announced last week. "We appreciate President Trump's enthusiasm for our iconic Coca-Cola brand," the company said in a statement. "More details on new innovative offerings within our Coca-Cola product range will be shared soon." What history shows: Data from Bespoke Investment Group shows the company has beaten earnings expectations for five straight quarters. Wednesday Chipotle Mexican Grill is set to report earnings after the close, followed by a call at 4:30 p.m. Last quarter: CMG said it was seeing a "slowdown" in consumer spending . This quarter: Analysts see a slight decline in year-over-year earnings for the fast casual chain, LSEG data shows. What to watch: BMO upgraded Chipotle last week ahead of the company's earnings report, expecting strong results in the latter half of 2025. "We expect improving absolute performance and a widening gap to the industry to warrant a higher multiple," BMO said . What history shows: Chipotle has a strong track record around earnings. Bespoke data shows the company beats earnings estimates 78% of the time. The stock also averages a 1.6% advance on earnings days. Alphabet is set to report earnings after the closing bell, with a call slated for 4:30 p.m. Last quarter: GOOGL reported earnings and revenue that easily beat analyst expectations. This quarter: The Street sees double-digit earnings and revenue growth for Google's parent company, per LSEG. What to watch: BofA's Justin Post raised his estimates on Alphabet last week, calling for an earnings beat. "2Q positives could include: 1) Commentary suggesting ad spend has accel. since April, 2) Strong search results suggesting AI integration aiding monetization (lowering rev. reset risk), 3) YouTube beat on easy y/y comps, and 4) Cloud strength from added capacity & Workspace AI integration," he said in a note. What history shows: Alphabet earnings have beaten expectations for nine straight quarters, per Bespoke. Shares also average a 1.3% advance on earnings days. IBM is set to report earnings after after the close, followed by a conference call at 5 p.m. Last quarter: IBM maintained its full-year guidance and posted first-quarter earnings and revenue that beat expectations . This quarter: Analysts polled by LSEG expect year-over-year earnings to have grown by nearly 9%. What to watch: Morgan Stanley analyst Erik Woodring raised his price target to $253 from $233, though he kept his rating at equal weight. "Our Software and Consulting trackers lean cautiously ahead of 2Q earnings, but a weak USD supports CY25 FCF upside vs. Street. At $283, we believe FCF upside is already priced in, thus we lean tactically cautious into 2Q EPS; though 2Q is unlikely to fully break stock momentum," he said. What history shows: IBM beats earnings expectations 84% of the time, according to Bespoke. However, the stock averages a 0.5% slide on earnings days. Tesla is set to report earnings after the bell. A call with analysts and management is set for 5:30 p.m. Last quarter: TSLA reported a 20% drop in auto revenue, driving a first-quarter miss . This quarter: LSEG data shows analysts expect the electric vehicle maker to report a 20% year-on-year earnings decline. What to watch: Investors might not know what to expect from Tesla's report. Barclays analyst Dan Levy, who has an equal weight rating on shares, said the setup into the Q2 print is "confusing." He pointed to weak fundamentals for the company, but added that Tesla could get a boost from its conference call, which presents an opportunity for the company's "robotaxi/AV narrative to shine." What history shows: Tesla shares have risen after the past two earnings releases despite the company missing analyst expectations.
