MongoDB, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDB) has proven to be a winner. Coming into August 26, just before earnings, the stock was actually down about 8% YTD. Now the shares have shot higher after by a “mongo” amount — nearly 30% at $280.00. Is MongoDB now “tactical” again or is it too much of a good thing?

Before thinking a 30% gain in a single day on a single earnings report is too much, which time will prove or disprove, MongoDB’s pre-earnings close of $214.34 was against a 52-week trading range of $140.78 to $370.00. Its market cap was also just $17.5 billion heading into its earnings report.

MongoDB has now posted its fourth consecutive quarter with total revenues above the $500 million mark, with about 97% of revenues coming from subscriptions. The two key features of its strong earnings report:

• MongoDB Atlas revenue was up 29% year-over-year; 74% of total revenues
• It added 2,800 Customers in the quarter and counts over 59,900 total customers
