See who owns itWhat MongoDB insiders have been doing
Executives and directors must disclose their own trades in company stock. Of the last 6 disclosed transactions we hold for MongoDB, 4 were sales and 0 were open-market purchases; the other 2 were awards, vesting or option exercises rather than a decision to buy or sell. Insiders sell for many ordinary reasons — scheduled plans, tax, diversification — so a sale is not by itself a signal.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-08-17 | SELL | 16.0K | $7.4M | |
| 2026-07-16 | SELL | 16.0K | $5.2M | |
