May 2 - Truist Financial upgraded ServiceNow (NOW, Financial) to "Buy" from Hold following the software firm's stronger-than-expected first-quarter results.
Top-ranked analyst Joel Fishbein raised his price target to $1,200 from $950, suggesting upside of over 25%. He described the enterprise workflow platform as a “rare compounder” with durable growth potential across core and emerging verticals, including customer relationship management and agentic AI.
ServiceNow shares jumped more than 15% on April 24 after reporting an 18.5% year-over-year increase in revenue and better-than-expected adjusted earnings per share. The company also issued a bullish outlook for the second quarter, despite macroeconomic uncertainty.
Fishbein said ServiceNow is well-positioned to consolidate the enterprise IT stack and benefit from demand for pre-built AI tools, citing strong industry feedback. He also praised the firm's go-to-market execution as the “gold standard” among peers.
Despite the recent rally, the stock is still down about 10% in 2025. The analyst views the pullback as a buying opportunity.
