"MongoDB delivered strong second quarter results across the board, highlighted by Atlas revenue growth accelerating to 29% and adding over 5,000 customers year-to-date, the highest ever in the first half of the year.

A company’s long-term sales performance is one signal of its overall quality. Any business can have short-term success, but a top-tier one grows for years. Over the last three years, MongoDB grew its sales at a solid 27% compounded annual growth rate. Its growth beat the average software company and shows its offerings resonate with customers.

This quarter, MongoDB reported robust year-on-year revenue growth of 23.7%, and its $591.4 million of revenue topped Wall Street estimates by 6.8%. Company management is currently guiding for a 11.4% year-on-year increase in sales next quarter.

Looking further ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 10.6% over the next 12 months, a deceleration versus the last three years. Still, this projection is above average for the sector and indicates the market is baking in some success for its newer products and services.

Billings is a non-GAAP metric that is often called “cash revenue” because it shows how much money the company has collected from customers in a certain period. This is different from revenue, which must be recognized in pieces over the length of a contract.

MongoDB’s billings punched in at $581.5 million in Q2, and over the last four quarters, its growth was impressive as it averaged 24.9% year-on-year increases. This alternate topline metric grew faster than total sales, meaning the company collects cash upfront and then recognizes the revenue over the length of its contracts - a boost for its liquidity and future revenue prospects.

MongoDB reported 59,900 customers at the end of the quarter, a sequential increase of 2,800. That’s roughly in line with what we observed last quarter and quite a bit above what we’ve seen over the previous year, confirming that the company is maintaining its sales momentum.

We were impressed by how significantly MongoDB blew past analysts’ billings expectations this quarter. We were also glad its EPS guidance for next quarter trumped Wall Street’s estimates. Zooming out, we think this was a good print with some key areas of upside. The stock traded up 23.5% to $264.72 immediately following the results.

MongoDB had an encouraging quarter, but one earnings result doesn’t necessarily make the stock a buy. Let’s see if this is a good investment.
