At US$246, Is MongoDB, Inc. (NASDAQ:MDB) Worth Looking At Closely?

MongoDB, Inc. (NASDAQ:MDB) saw a double-digit share price rise of over 10% in the past couple of months on the NASDAQGM.

Is MongoDB Still Cheap?

The stock is currently trading at US$246 on the share market, which means it is overvalued by 34% compared to our intrinsic value of $183.12. This means that the opportunity to buy MongoDB at a good price has disappeared! If you like the stock, you may want to keep an eye out for a potential price decline in the future. Given that MongoDB’s share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving us another chance to buy in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.

Can we expect growth from MongoDB?

Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. Buying a great company with a robust outlook at a cheap price is always a good investment, so let’s also take a look at the company's future expectations. MongoDB's earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 77%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. This should lead to more robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? MDB’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading above its fair value. However, this brings up another question – is now the right time to sell? If you believe MDB should trade below its current price, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards its real value can be profitable. But before you make this decision, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on MDB for some time, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock. The price has surpassed its true value, which means there’s no upside from mispricing. However, the optimistic prospect is encouraging for MDB, which means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop.

So if you'd like to dive deeper into this stock, it's crucial to consider any risks it's facing. Case in point: We've spotted 3 warning signs for MongoDB you should be aware of.
