ServiceNow Inc. (ISIN US81762P1021) held investor attention on August 31, 2026 after a second-quarter report showed $3.99 billion in revenue and $0.90 in adjusted EPS, with shares opening at $144.77 and a market capitalization of $149.69 billion.
The quarter ended July 22, 2026, and revenue rose 24.0% year over year from the same period last year, while EPS improved from $0.81 to $0.90.
Revenue and margin mix
ServiceNow's quarterly revenue beat the $3.93 billion consensus estimate by $0.06 billion, and net margin was 11.34% in the latest reported quarter.
Sell-side expectations in the same source set point to $2.24 EPS for the current year, which gives investors a current comparison point against the $0.90 quarterly figure already reported.
What the market is pricing
The stock's opening price of $144.77 sits close to the $144.24 consensus price target reported in the same market summary, while the company traded on a 90.48 P/E ratio and a 0.94 beta.
That combination leaves the valuation tied more tightly to execution than to multiple expansion, especially after a quarter that combined 24.0% revenue growth with a clear EPS beat.
ServiceNow platform
ServiceNow's workflow software helps companies automate service, operations, and employee support across IT and other departments, which keeps subscription revenue and renewal behavior central to the investment case.
Stock view
