ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW) is a cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform that leverages AI and workflow automation to streamline digital workflows across enterprises, automating tasks in IT, customer service, HR and more.
Though it delivered dismal performance in 2025, its strong fundamentals and near-term catalysts support a bullish outlook for 2026.
Shares of NOW are down nearly 32% over the past year, including an approximately 10% drop to start 2026.
Still, the company’s exceptional customer retention and consistent earnings record have prompted analysts to forecast significant upside.
ServiceNow Is at the Intersection of Software and AI
Industry consultancy Grand View Research estimates the global enterprise software market at nearly $264 billion in 2024 and projects it will exceed $517 billion by 2030, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1%.
At the same time, Grand View Research expects the global intelligent automation market to expand from roughly $14 billion in 2024 to $44.74 billion by 2030, a CAGR of 22.6%.
Those trends play to ServiceNow’s strengths. Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Santa Clara, California, the company builds enterprise software that helps businesses automate a wide range of processes.
The company’s flagship offering—the Now Platform—is designed to:
- Digitize and automate processes across the enterprise
- Boost productivity with embedded analytics and AI in every app
- Rapidly respond to change by enabling business analysts and developers to build new workflow apps
The suite has achieved a notable 98% customer retention rate, above the SaaS industry average of roughly 90% renewals. Much of that retention is tied to ServiceNow’s integration of AI into the Now Platform, which has supported robust revenue growth.
From Q3 2024 to Q3 2025, ServiceNow’s top line grew from $432 million to $502 million, a year-over-year increase of more than 16%. After years of operating in the red, the company returned to profitability in 2019 with net income of $627 million; by the end of FY 2024 that figure had grown more than 127% to $1.4 billion.
Shares of NOW failed to convert those healthy fundamentals into gains last year amid several AI-driven selloffs. After a year of strong financials but weak stock performance, 2026 looks poised to offer a reversal for shareholders.
NOW’s Impressive Earnings Track Record
The last time ServiceNow missed earnings expectations was Q1 2018. Since then, the company has met or beaten earnings estimates for 30 consecutive quarters. Q4 and full-year 2025 results were expected around Jan. 28.
Over the same span, the company missed revenue forecasts only three times, helping to convince Wall Street the streak can continue. With trailing earnings per share (EPS) of $1.65, ServiceNow is forecast to grow full-year EPS by nearly 29% next year, from $8.93 to $11.49.
What Wall Street Thinks of ServiceNow
Despite concerns over a forward P/E ratio around 83.14, Wall Street remains broadly bullish on NOW. Of 42 analysts covering the stock, 35 rate it Buy, five rate it Hold and two rate it Sell.
The consensus Moderate Buy rating and the analyst average 12-month price target of roughly $216 imply more than 57% potential upside.
Short interest is low at about 1.65% — roughly 17 million shares of the approximately 1 billion shares outstanding. Meanwhile, institutional ownership exceeds 87%, with inflows of $8.83 billion over the past 12 months, more than double the $4.25 billion in outflows.
ServiceNow scores higher than 92% of the companies evaluated by MarketBeat, ranking 83rd out of 633 technology stocks.
