ServiceNow’s second-quarter AI annual contract value moved past $1 billion, with management projecting more than $1.5 billion by late 2026. Subscription sales rose 24.5% year over year, while free cash flow climbed 21%.
GAAP operating income dropped 55% amid costs tied to acquisitions, even as the company’s stock traded at $139.75. 24/7 Wall St. assigns a buy rating and a $247.40 target, citing AI contract momentum and growth potential.
If ServiceNow’s AI tools keep expanding, companies may automate more service requests, potentially changing roles for IT support staff and customer-service teams.
