ServiceNow's AI revenues are expected to surpass $1.5 billion by the end of 2026 and to reach ~$9.6 billion in 2030. Approximately 50% of net new ACVs are already priced based on consumption rather than on seats, invalidating the entire SaaS-pocalypse narrative that drove the share price to multi-year lows. Rather than completely disrupting ServiceNow's business model, I expect the new consumption-based pricing framework to do the exact opposite, which is to unleash a new era of growth.
The AI software rally has finally come for ServiceNow (NYSE:NOW | NOW Price Prediction), and few enterprise names have moved harder in August after Q2 earnings reset the agentic AI narrative across the group.

ServiceNow continues to demonstrate robust fundamentals, dispelling AI disruption fears and reinforcing its competitive position. Subscription revenues surged 23% to $3.8 billion, with cRPO and RPO growing 21.5% and 22% year over year, respectively. Professional services revenue remains a minor contributor at $109 million, not materially impacting the stock's trajectory.
