This summary was created by AI, based on 35 opinions in the last 12 months.

ServiceNow (NOW) is facing significant market volatility, given the dual challenges of its valuation and the broader impact of AI on software companies. Recent expert reviews highlight that NOW recently beat earnings expectations, showing strong revenue growth, but shares have declined substantially from their highs. Many analysts note that the stock's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, once as high as 71x, has decreased significantly, making it appear more attractive despite concerns about long-term growth and competition. There's a mixed sentiment around its future as a potential AI winner, with some experts expressing cautious optimism about its robust business model and innovative capabilities. The consensus on waiting for a clearer upward trend before investing further reflects uncertainty about current market conditions and the stock's performance trajectory.

DON'T BUY

In time, the CEO will execute and the stock will recover from its 52-week low currently. The balance sheet is in great shape and revenues are growing, but momentum is poor. Would not add now. Software is in the dog house.

DON'T BUY

Software names are down. NOW is -30% the past 6 months. He can't call a bottom on it.

DON'T BUY

Hardware companies are beating the software ones, and this trades at a high 42x PE. Shares slid on Friday, but didn't bounce back today. Software is struggling with AI now.

SELL ON STRENGTH

In his portfolios, certainly less than 10% (and maybe even less than 5%) in software stocks. A lot of generative AI is displacing the magic that comes from these software companies. Look for places to get out. Chart shows it's consolidating; there may be another leg higher, but it's too early to make a call on that.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

ITSM (IT service management) platform. Integrated into the IT department of a lot of Fortune 500 companies. Implementing a lot of AI solutions at these companies, so this name actually benefits from the AI disruption. Free cashflow compounder for a very long time. 

HOLD

Has shown some of the most durable revenue growth in the entire market. Though more expensive, definitely likes it more than CRM. Deserves the valuation premium because it executes so well. Good long-term hold. Over time, need to see traction around AI for the story to continue working. Great company.

WAIT

Dangerous name to be out of. Huge run, strong Q1. Reinforced leadership in enterprise AI. Guidance is in line. Concern about government cuts, but overall average deal size up by 1/3. 18% growth, but trading at 40x 2026 and 33x 2027. A bit expensive PEG ratio. Have to pay up for good names, but wait for better entry when PEG closer to 1.

BUY

Today they delivered a rock solid quarter including beating non-GAAP revenues, and reiterated their full-year forecast and this quarter despite this volatile environment. It's enough to turn this stock around.

TOP PICK

Is the king of workflow automation, so it's perfect for Agentic AI, the next wave in AI. Last January, they said that AI is making them money. He targets $1,159.

(Analysts’ price target is $1150.25)
BUY ON WEAKNESS

Is down nearly 20% in the last 3 weeks. With 21% revenue growth and 18% EPS growth, they continue to monetize AI.

BUY

They're monetizing their AI tools.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It reports Wednesday. They will report and shares will fall after hours--and buy it then. It will rally first thing the next morning. This happens over and over because short-sellers push it down. NOW doesn't miss reports.

BUY

They report next week. Revenue growth this year is 22% and EPS 32%. They know how to monetize AI.

HOLD

Is up 24% in the last 3 months. Shares are high, but they will blow away estimates in their next report.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 15/23, Up 47%)

Runway now shorter. 12-month price target of $876. Main reason it's been a standout has been CEO and management team. Recent C-suite shakeup, but CEO still there.
