Press release ↗Summary
MongoDB's second quarter of fiscal 2027, ended July 31, 2026, combined faster growth with much higher profitability. Revenue of $771.8 million was up 30%; Atlas grew approximately 29% and EA & other approximately 36%. The company moved from a year-ago operating loss to GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin rose to 24% from 15%, and RPO rose 91%. On the call, management guided Q3 revenue growth of 20% to 21%. It raised the full-year Atlas growth expectation to approximately 27% and the EA and other expectation to approximately 11%, but still expects EA and other revenue to be roughly flat in the second half. The CFO said guidance more than a quarter out is deliberately prudent and that the quarter included no large bundled deals.
