What would change the picture for NOW

These are the specific events and levels to watch. None of them is a prediction.

  • The Oct. 28, 2026 earnings report arrives in 0 days. ServiceNow, Inc. beat estimates in 2 of the last 4 quarters, with an average surprise of +1.0%, so a miss would break that pattern.
  • Insiders made no open-market purchases in 90 days. Any purchase by an executive or director would be the first in three months and would appear on SEC Form 4 within two business days.
  • The average analyst rating moved from 4.15 to 4.16 over three months on a scale where 5 is strong buy and 1 is strong sell. A wave of post-earnings downgrades usually appears here first.
  • A close above $189.26 would mark a new 52-week high, 22.3% above the latest close of $154.78. A close below $83.0 would mark a new 52-week low, 46.4% below it.
  • Revenue rose 22.2% year over year in the quarter ending Jun 2026, showing a steady trend.
  • Dilution risk is moderate now. A new shelf registration (S-3) or prospectus supplement (424B) for an offering would raise that risk.

Over the past month, NOW ranks 1 of 5 in this group with a gain of +17.7%. The best performer was NOW at +17.7%, while the weakest was ORCL at -1.2%.

Key terms on this page

P/E ratio
Price divided by the last 12 months of earnings per share. A P/E of 20 means investors pay $20 for each $1 of yearly profit. It is only defined when the company is profitable.
Form 4
The SEC form a company's officers, directors and 10% owners must file within two business days of buying or selling its stock.
Open-market trade
A purchase or sale on the exchange at the market price, paid with the insider's own money (code P or S on Form 4), as opposed to option exercises, grants or gifts.
Form 13F
A quarterly SEC report listing the U.S. stock holdings of every investment manager with more than $100 million. It is due 45 days after each quarter ends, so it shows positions with a delay.
Dilution
When a company issues new shares, each existing share owns a smaller piece of the company. Common sources: stock offerings, convertible debt and large stock-based pay.
52-week high / low
The highest and lowest daily closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days).
Analyst consensus
The average of Wall Street analysts' ratings (strong buy to strong sell). Analysts skew positive, so a hold is often read as a cautious view.
