Is ServiceNow the Ultimate Enterprise Software Stock?

Parkev Tatevosian, CFA•Sep 25, 2026

Summary

Parkev provides a comprehensive analysis of ServiceNow's growth trajectory, specifically focusing on management's goal to exceed $30 billion in revenue by 2030. Parkev highlights that the company has raised its 2026 AI-related revenue outlook to $1.5 billion, signaling a strong start in monetizing artificial intelligence through IT agents and specialized services for small to medium-sized businesses. Parkev notes that ServiceNow bridges the gap between complex large language models and smaller enterprises that lack the budget for high-end consultants.

ServiceNow (NOW): Parkev recommends ServiceNow as a buy, noting that the company has improved its operating margins from -15% to 13.6% and its return on invested capital to 10.8% over the last decade. Parkev calculates a fair value for the stock at $158 based on a discounted cash flow model, which suggests a 14% upside from the current market price of $138. Parkev argues that while the margin of safety was higher when the stock was trading below $100, the company’s expansion into AI-driven customer support remains a major growth catalyst.
