Q4 Earnings Beat: ServiceNow delivered impressive Q4 results, surpassing revenue and earnings expectations with 21% growth and robust margins. Social media buzzed with praise for the 98% renewal rate, Rule of 51 achievement, and a fresh $5 billion buyback authorization signaling strong leadership confidence. Yet shares tumbled amid a software sector rout, prompting debates on overreaction.
Valuation at Decade Lows: Traders noted the stock's plunge to its cheapest multiples in years, trading below historical averages despite elite fundamentals like 35% free cash flow margins. Enthusiasts called it a rare entry point for a SaaS leader growing twice as fast as peers. Accumulation talks intensified around key support levels like $110.
AI Fears Versus Upside: Concerns over AI agents disrupting seat-based licensing fueled the selloff, but proponents highlighted Now Assist's surge to $600 million ACV, eyeing $1 billion by 2026. Partnerships with OpenAI and Anthropic underscore its pivot to agentic workflows for enterprise control towers. The discourse blends short-term caution with long-term conviction in adaptation.
