Investing.com -- Monness, Crespi, Hardt upgraded Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) and MongoDB (NASDAQ:MDB), both to "Neutral" from "Sell" given the growth opportunities in cloud and generative AI despite ongoing challenges.
For Oracle, the brokerage expects the company to meet its third-quarter fiscal 2025 revenue estimate of $14.56 billion, up 10% year-over-year, and non-GAAP EPS of $1.54. While Oracle has potential in AI and cloud, the note flagged concerns over valuation, capital expenditures, and competition.
Monness, Crespi, Hardt said Oracle represents a high-quality company with the opportunity to participate in a cloud transformation and benefit from the gen AI trend, but flagged a stretched valuation, an unsustainable capex spending, fierce competition, transition in software, and a fragile macro environment.
MongoDB, which is set to report fourth-quarter results on March 5, is projected to post $547 million in revenue, up 19% year-over-year, and EPS of $1.06.
Brokerage noted continued pressure on MongoDB’s cloud database service, Atlas (NYSE:ATCO), which has seen growth slow for 11 consecutive quarters. “No other cloud product unit within our software universe, and Big Tech coverage, has undergone a losing streak as protracted as MongoDB Atlas during this cycle,” analyst said.
Despite macroeconomic uncertainty and competition, the firm acknowledged both companies' positioning within long-term industry trends.
