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.

ServiceNow's $7.75B Armis bet faces first test as it aims to be No. 1 in security

ServiceNow spent about $7.75 billion in cash on Armis as it aims to lead enterprise security. Chief executive officer Bill McDermott said on September 9 that the company is "now the eighth largest with an ambition to be #1." The company reports third-quarter results after the close on October 28, its first earnings since that claim. Investors will look for a disclosed security growth rate. BNP Paribas estimates security and risk could reach about $1.5 billion in annual contract value, growing 30% to 40%. ServiceNow has not confirmed this. Acquisitions are weighing on margins. Third-quarter guidance is an 8% GAAP operating margin against 31% non-GAAP. Revenue beat estimates in each of the last five quarters, yet the stock fell after the last three reports. Consensus expects revenue of about $4.09 billion, up about 20%.

ServiceNow CFO: Overwork doesn't make a better leader, recovery drives performance

ServiceNow president and chief financial officer Gina Mastantuono says overwork does not make a better leader. Speaking at the Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit, she said recovery is a prerequisite for high performance, not a distraction from it. She criticised the idea that 14-hour days and four hours of sleep show commitment. "That is such a terrible example for the people around us," she said. Prioritising recovery helped her listen more thoughtfully, stay composed under pressure, and improve her work-life balance. Fellow panellist Alicia Hatch of Deloitte said 94% of female C-suite executives played sports growing up. Deloitte projects global women's sports revenue will reach at least $3 billion in 2026, a 340% rise over four years.

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.
