With MongoDB’s earnings call on December 1, 2025, just days away, the stock is poised for significant volatility. It is currently underperforming in a rising market, with mixed expectations—revenue is expected to grow, but earnings per share are forecasted to fall sharply by 31.9%. This mix of growth and earnings decline often leads to big price swings post-announcement. The options market indicates this uncertainty, with high implied volatility for weekly options expiring after the earnings announcement. Current prices reflect the market’s anticipation of a potential 15% price move in either direction. Historically, MongoDB has experienced similar large gaps, including a 20% drop following its earnings report in March 2024, highlighting its sensitivity to guidance. Traders who expect a disappointing report should be cautious of the stock’s high valuation. A forward P/E ratio near 90 presents a significant risk, especially since the Federal Reserve is likely to keep interest rates steady around 4.5% into next year, impacting growth stock valuations. Any revenue miss or weak guidance could lead to a sharp sell-off, making long put positions or bear put spreads appealing strategies. Conversely, there are optimistic signs that could lead to an upside. Recent analyst upgrades suggest potential for a positive surprise. If MongoDB beats lowered expectations and provides strong guidance for 2026, it may trigger a short squeeze, benefiting those holding long call options or bull call spreads. Given the event’s binary nature and high implied volatility, strategies that profit from large price movements, regardless of direction, are also worth considering. A long straddle or strangle could capitalize on significant price swings exceeding the option premiums. However, the high premiums mean the stock must move considerably to make these strategies profitable. Finally, we should note the broader context from the last earnings season. In the third quarter of 2025, other high-growth software companies, like Snowflake, faced sharp declines due to minor growth outlook decelerations. This indicates that the market is expecting perfection, making MongoDB’s forward guidance the key data point to monitor next week.
