What believers are saying

  • Subscriptions grew: ServiceNow reported $3.877 billion in subscription revenue for the June 2026 quarter, up 24.5% year over year.
  • Hybrid work is established: ServiceNow says most staff have flexible arrangements, requiring two or more office days weekly.
  • Security work expanded: the April 2026 Armis acquisition added protection for industrial equipment, medical devices, and connected hardware.

What critics are saying

  • Subscription margins narrowed: in June 2026, ServiceNow kept 73.5% of subscription revenue after direct costs, versus 80% a year earlier.
  • Remote roles limit relocation: ServiceNow requires staff to remain within their employment state, province, region, or country.
  • Older versions lose support: ServiceNow supports two release families and schedules upgrades for customers who fall behind.

What makes ServiceNow unique

  • Customers get separated systems: ServiceNow assigns each customer its own software instance and database, unlike shared tenant designs.
  • Outages get business context: ServiceNow's configuration database maps servers and applications to the business services depending on them.
  • Customers choose upgrade timing: ServiceNow's separate instances let enterprises schedule releases independently from other customers.

Over 25% of S&P 500 stocks are down 40%+: four bargain tech picks, from Netflix to Oracle

More than 25% of S&P 500 stocks are down 40% or more from their highs, even with the index near record levels, as of October 8, 2026. The Motley Fool sees that as a chance to hunt for bargains in tech. It names four picks. Netflix trades at about 18.5 times 2027 analyst earnings estimates, and advertising should drive its growth. Oracle has a $664 billion backlog in cloud infrastructure, but carries heavy debt and burns cash. ServiceNow, hit by the 2026 software sell-off, trades at 7.5 times forward sales as it pushes into agentic AI. AppLovin trades at 13 times 2027 earnings estimates. Its revenue rose 53% last quarter to $1.9 billion.

CFOs at Chevron, ServiceNow and Nasdaq say AI must earn capital; ServiceNow targets $500M savings

Chevron, ServiceNow and Nasdaq finance chiefs say AI projects must prove their worth before getting funded. They spoke on a panel at the Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit in Santa Barbara on Tuesday. Chevron's chief financial officer, Eimear Bonner, said AI "has got to compete for capital" and cannot be "a science experiment." She wants a clear path to value and results that reach the bottom line. ServiceNow's Gina Mastantuno said CFOs must also weigh the cost of falling behind rivals. The company expects $500 million in savings this year, largely from using its own products. Nasdaq's Sarah Youngwood sorts investments by time horizon and tracks AI metrics such as coding speed, client retention and token costs.

ServiceNow vs UiPath: Which AI automation stock is the better 2026 buy?

ServiceNow and UiPath both offer AI-powered automation platforms, but differ in scale and growth. ServiceNow reported revenue of nearly $13.3 billion for fiscal 2025, up 20.9%, with net income of $1.75 billion. UiPath posted revenue of $1.6 billion for fiscal 2026, up 12.7%, achieving its first full-year GAAP profitability with net income of $282.3 million. ServiceNow's AI products surpassed $1 billion in annual contract value in Q2. However, its $7.75 billion Armis acquisition raised total debt to $7.5 billion by June 2026. UiPath carries no debt and maintains a current ratio of 2.5x, but faces slower growth with flat customer count year-over-year. ServiceNow trades at 33.9x forward P/E versus UiPath's 17.1x, reflecting different growth trajectories and market positioning.
