As AI Momentum Grows, Should Investors Buy ServiceNow Stock?
Key Points ServiceNow turned in strong Q2 results and raised guidance powered by AI adoption. The company looks well positioned as the world turns to AI agents. However, the stock has struggled to gain traction this year. 10 stocks we like better than ServiceNow › Share prices of ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW) jumped after the software company reported strong revenue growth and yet again raised its guidance due to strong artificial intelligence (AI) adoption. That said, the stock has struggled to gain traction this year, with its shares down about 7% as of this writing. Despite the stock's underperformance in 2025, it is still one of the best-performing stocks of the past decade, with its shares up nearly 1,200% during that span. The software-as-a-service (SaaS) company made a name for itself as an information technology (IT) management platform before expanding into other areas of organizational workflows such as customer service and human resources. ServiceNow's strength is that its platform can connect siloed departments to create a unified system of record between departments. This in turn is used to help organizations digitize, streamline, and automate their operations. ServiceNow's unified data system and structured workflows make it an ideal environment for AI, which performs best when it has clean and consistent data. As such, the company has embedded AI throughout its Now Platform, including introducing generative AI assistants and more recently AI agents. AI growth continues AI continued to be the biggest driver of ServiceNow's growth in the second quarter. Now Assist -- the company's generative AI suite of solutions -- continued to outperform expectations, with the company signing 21 deals that have five or more Now Assist products. Its number of Pro Plus deals -- which bundle Now Assist with other advanced tools -- climbed 50% sequentially. Eighteen of its 20 largest deals included Pro Plus. The company also recently introduced AI Control Tower, which is a centralized platform for managing AI agents from both ServiceNow and third parties. The company is already using AI agents across its own business and sees AI agents as having a $350 million value this year. Meanwhile, it said it already surpassed its initial full-year net new annual contract value (ACV) expectations for AI Control Tower in just 60 days. Turning to its results, revenue rose 22.5% year over year to $3.22 billion, while adjusted earnings per share (EPS) climbed 30.7% to $4.09. That easily topped the analyst consensus, which was looking for EPS of $3.57 on revenue of $3.12 billion, as compiled by the LSEG. Subscription revenue jumped 22.5% year over year to $3.11 billion, while professional services revenue climbed 19.5% to $102 million. The company continues to do well in adding large customers, increasing its number of customers with a net ACV of $20 million or more by more than 30%. It had 89 deals greater than $1 million in net new ACV in the quarter. The company said transportation and logistics ACV soared more than 100% in the quarter, while technology, media, and telecom ACV surged 70%. Another metric investors like to follow with ServiceNow is growth in remaining performance obligations (RPO), which is deferred revenue plus backlog growth, since it can be an indicator of future growth. In the quarter, the company saw RPO increase by 29% to $23.9 billion, while current RPO (cRPO) rose by 24.5% to $10.9 billion. ServiceNow's revenue growth accelerated in Q2, and this could be an indication that this could continue. The company forecast its Q3 subscription revenue to grow between 20% to 20.5% to a range of $3.26 billion to $3.265 billion. It is expecting cRPO to also increase by 18.5%. Notably, its subscription revenue growth forecast for Q3 is higher than its forecast was for Q2. For the full year, the company upped its subscription revenue guidance. It now anticipates subscription revenue of between $12.775 billion to $12.795 billion, up from previous guidance of $12.64 billion to $12.68 billion. The updated outlook represents growth of around 20%. Original Forecast (Jan) Prior Forecast (Apr) New Forecast (July) Subscription revenue $12.635 billion to $12.675 billion $12.64 billion to $12.68 billion $12.775 billion to $12.795 billion Growth 18.5% to 19% 19% to 19.5% 20% Source: ServiceNow. Is the stock a buy? ServiceNow's stock has been caught up in the narrative that there is a cautious enterprise-software spending environment. However, the company has continued to see strong growth, which accelerated in Q2 and could possibly accelerate next quarter as well. Given that its platform can improve operational efficiency and save costs, the company is in a solid position even during periods of economic uncertainty. More importantly, though, the company looks well positioned to be an AI winner. Its already seeing solid growth stemming from AI, and now it's looking to become an AI agentic hub through its AI Control Tower. If agentic AI become the next big AI investment wave, ServiceNow looks set to be a big potential winner. From a valuation perspective, the stock trades at a forward price-to-sales multiple of 13 based on 2026 analyst estimates. That's reasonable for a high-margin SaaS business with 20%-plus revenue growth, but it's also likely a part of the reason why the stock has been stuck in the mud this year despite posting strong results. I think it is worth accumulating a small position in the stock at current levels, but I'd be a more aggressive buyer on a dip. Do the experts think ServiceNow is a buy right now?
