Is it too risky to buy MDB stock?

From an investment perspective, MongoDB shares traded at a steep P/S ratio of 45.39 before the after-hours spike, making the stock too expensive for value investors.

On the other hand, analysts expect its EPS to decline by 44.20% this year before bouncing back 33.30% next year.

Therefore, long-term growth investors could also opt for alternatives in the market.

Technically, MongoDB shares seem to be trading within a descending channel formation in the intraday chart. As a result, the stock has plummeted closer to the oversold conditions of the 14-day RSI.

Therefore, investors could target technical rebounds at around $470.57, or higher at $516.20, while $385.47 and $353.81 are crucial support levels.
