MongoDB's financial statements include several red flags such as slimmer gross margins than its peers, negative and irregular operating margins with a positive growth rate, and declining EPS growth. Additionally, the firm has an unconvincing cash flow history. On the other hand, the company has an excellent current ratio working in its favor. Furthermore, MongoDB has weak revenue growth and a flat capital expenditure trend.
