Software company MongoDB $MDB ( ▼ 1.05% ) crashed 24.36% in after-hours trading on Monday after reporting financial earnings results.

Financials: MongoDB reported earnings of $1.65 per share in the past quarter and revenue of $695.1 million. Both were better than expected.

Powering the Story: The problem for MongoDB was its outlook. For the current quarter, the company anticipates revenue between $545 million and $565 million, which is lower than expected. This worried investors, especially with AI fears about the “software apocalypse” running wild.

Early Bird’s Nest Egg Gains: MongoDB is dealing with softer Atlas usage growth, a drag from lower non‑Atlas license renewals and seasonality in Q1, plus some go‑to‑market friction as it pivots more toward large enterprises.

Final Thoughts: The bad year continues for MongoDB. The stock had already fallen 18% in 2026.
