Is MongoDB Inc. (NASDAQ:MDB) a buy in 2026?

Where MDB is headed
Picture the application stack in 2028.

That entire flow touches one database, not five. It needs to handle structured records, unstructured text, vector embeddings, and time-series events in a single query. This is exactly the workload MongoDB (NASDAQ:MDB) was accidentally built for, and it's the workload Postgres bolt-ons and Pinecone-style specialists were not.
