Why the Bullish MDB Stock Rating?
Here’s what the Morgan Stanley analysts said in a note to clients obtained by Investing.com:
“While we think the headwind from cloud digestion activity on growth over the next few quarters is relatively well understood by the market, encouraging is that companies who are currently optimizing or plan to optimize expect to see acceleration in 2024 (after seeing flat or slower growth in 2023) and plan to have a higher percentage of their applications reside in the public cloud post optimization than what they had planned for pre-optimization.”
Investors are reacting well to the upgrade with shares of MDB stock heading 9% higher as of Wednesday morning.
