Given that MongoDB didn’t make a profit in the last twelve months, we’ll focus on revenue growth to form a quick view of its business development. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually expect strong revenue growth. Some companies are willing to postpone profitability to grow revenue faster, but in that case one does expect good top-line growth.
In the last 3 years MongoDB saw its revenue grow at 45% per year. That’s well above most pre-profit companies. And it’s not just the revenue that is taking off. The share price is up 102% per year in that time. It’s always tempting to take profits after a share price gain like that, but high-growth companies like MongoDB can sometimes sustain strong growth for many years. In fact, it might be time to put it on your watchlist, if you’re not already familiar with the stock.
