MongoDB shares ripped more than 25% higher on Tuesday after the company blew past Wall Street's third-quarter expectations and lifted its forecast as its cloud database platform gained traction with customers.
The database software provider posted adjusted earnings of $1.32 per share on $628 million in revenue. That topped the 80 cents adjusted per share and $592 million in revenue expected by analysts polled by LSEG. Revenues grew 19% from last year.
MongoDB said its Atlas platform grew 30% from a year ago and accounted for 75% of total revenues for the quarter. The company said it ended the period with more than 60,800 Atlas customers, with revenues expected to grow 27% for the platform in the current period.
"Q3 was an exceptional quarter that was driven by our continued go-to-market execution and the broad-based demand we are seeing across business," said CEO Chirantan "CJ" Desai in his first earnings call at the helm of the company.
Dev Ittycheria, who ran the company for 11 years and took it public, stepped down in November.
