MongoDB and SS&C Technologies are both in the Information Technology sector’s Software & Services group, but their valuation multiples differ sharply. In this snapshot, SS&C has lower figures on all three measures. That’s a comparison of current multiples, not proof that either stock is the better investment.
MongoDB (MDB) and SS&C Technologies Holdings (SSNC) offer different ways to invest in software and services. At the latest adjusted close in the snapshot, MongoDB traded at US$335.37, with a market cap of US$26.6 billion. SS&C traded at US$80.88, with a market cap of US$19.0 billion. Both have a Buy analyst consensus in our table, but their valuation and profitability figures differ. Here’s what the numbers show—and what they don’t.
Investor takeaway: SS&C has lower P/E, PEG and P/B multiples in this snapshot. MongoDB’s analyst target is higher in dollar terms, but target prices for different stocks aren’t directly comparable and don’t establish value. The multiples don’t account for business prospects, risks or why investors value each company as they do.

SS&C screens cheaper on all three supplied multiples
SS&C’s P/E is 23.5, compared with MongoDB’s 458.9. Its PEG is 0.71 versus 1.67, and its P/B is 2.83 versus 9.07. SS&C has the lower figure on all three measures. That’s a relative valuation snapshot, not a forecast of future returns.
Bull case
SS&C’s P/E of 23.5, PEG of 0.71 and P/B of 2.83 are all below MongoDB’s corresponding multiples. SS&C also has a higher TTM return on equity: 12.4%, compared with MongoDB’s 2.0%. These figures help put the valuation gap in context, but they don’t tell us what lies ahead.
Bear case
A lower multiple doesn’t guarantee that SS&C is undervalued or that its shares will perform better. This snapshot doesn’t provide enough information to assess future growth, business risks or why the market values the companies differently.
The valuation comparison
SS&C has lower figures than MongoDB on all three supplied multiples. Its P/E is 23.5 versus 458.9 for MongoDB, its PEG is 0.71 versus 1.67, and its P/B is 2.83 versus 9.07. The comparison points in the same direction across all three measures. You can review the individual company snapshots for MongoDB and SS&C Technologies. Lower multiples describe how the stocks compare on these figures; they don’t prove that SS&C is undervalued or will outperform.
Profitability, dividends and analyst figures
The snapshot reports TTM return on equity of 12.4% for SS&C and 2.0% for MongoDB. SS&C’s dividend yield is 1.36%, while MongoDB’s is 0.00%. Both have a Buy analyst consensus in our table. The listed analyst targets are US$98.56 for SS&C and US$452.50 for MongoDB. But these dollar amounts aren’t comparable measures of value: they apply to different stocks, and the snapshot doesn’t explain the assumptions behind them.
What this snapshot leaves open
These figures are a starting point for comparing two companies in the same sector and industry group, not a complete investment case. They don’t explain why the market assigns each stock its current multiples or provide a full picture of future growth and business risks. MongoDB’s larger market cap—US$26.6 billion versus SS&C’s US$19.0 billion—adds context about company size, but doesn’t answer those questions. Investors comparing the two may want to look beyond the multiples before drawing conclusions.
