2026 Price Target:
For most of 2026, software has been one of the market’s least-loved sectors. While investors rushed into AI infrastructure names tied to GPUs, networking, memory and data centers, many high-quality software companies were left behind. ServiceNow $NOW ( ▲ 5.89% ) has been one of the biggest victims of that rotation.
Yet beneath the weak sentiment, the business itself continues to execute. Revenue growth remains close to 20%, free cash flow margins remain among the highest in enterprise software, and management believes its addressable market has expanded to roughly $600 billion.
The upcoming earnings report could become an important test—not because investors doubt ServiceNow is a great company, but because they want proof that AI is becoming a meaningful growth driver rather than simply another product feature. Let’s take a deeper dive.
