The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and is captioned Baxter v. MongoDB, No. 24-cv-5191.

Why was MongoDB Sued for Securities Fraud?
MongoDB is a software company that sells developer data platforms and integrated services systems. The complaint alleges that during the relevant period, the Company misrepresented the purported benefits stemming from the restructuring of its sales force. This includes how the restructuring helped reduce friction in acquiring new customers and increased new workload acquisition among existing customers.
As alleged, these statements were materially false and misleading. In truth, MongoDB’s sales force restructuring resulted in a near total loss of upfront customer commitments, a significant reduction in actionable information gathered by the sales force, and hindered enrollment and revenue growth.
The Stock Declines as the Truth is Revealed
On March 7, 2024, the Company allegedly announced that due to the sales restructuring, it experienced an annual decrease of approximately $40 million in multiyear license revenue, anticipated near zero revenue from unused Atlas commitments (one of its core offerings) in fiscal year 2025, and provided a disappointing revenue growth forecast that trailed that of the prior year. This news caused the price of MongoDB stock to decline $28.59 per share, or about 7%, from $412.01 per share on March 7, 2024, to $383.42 per share on March 8, 2024.
Then, on May 30, 2024, the Company again announced significantly reduced growth expectations, this time cutting fiscal year 2025 growth projections further, again attributing the losses to the sales force restructuring. On this news, the price of MongoDB stock declined $73.94 per share, or nearly 24%, from $310.00 per share on May 30, 2024, to $236.06 per share on May 31, 2024.
