ServiceNow delivered double-digit revenue and RPO growth in Q2, driven by accelerating adoption of its generative AI services, notably Now Assist. NOW exceeded Q2 consensus with $3.99B revenue and $0.90 non-GAAP EPS, and raised its subscription revenue outlook on robust enterprise AI momentum. Free cash flow reached $634M, up 19% year-over-year, as AI-driven subscription revenue growth continues.
NOW's Agentic AI-driven growth is evidenced by the accelerating net new ACV, the higher cross-selling trends, and the expanding customer base. The Claude Mythos fears have triggered their robust Security and Risk monetization trends, with the underpenetrated segment implying further cross-selling opportunities. The prior meltdown/ongoing consolidation has contributed to NOW's cheap P/E of 22.62x while offering more than doubling upside potential to my LTPT of $215.30.
ServiceNow is rated a strong buy, driven by its strategic pivot to become the AI agent control tower for enterprises. NOW's aggressive M&A, including Armis and Veza, directly addresses governance and security bottlenecks critical for enterprise AI adoption. Transition away from seat-based pricing and core ticketing disruption positions NOW defensively against SaaS commoditization and AI-driven competition.
