ServiceNow remains a Strong Buy, driven by robust AI integration, a resilient business model, and reaffirmed 2030 targets. NOW expects AI to grow from 9.5% to 30% of revenue by 2030, supporting management's $30–32B subscription revenue target. Gross margins are projected to stay above 80% as AI adoption scales, with operating and FCF margin expansion anticipated in 2027.
