ServiceNow (NOW) has recently moved onto my accumulation list as the company continues to prove that it is becoming one of the biggest beneficiaries of enterprise AI adoption. While many investors focus on AI infrastructure names, I believe the next phase of the AI cycle will be driven by software companies that can successfully monetize AI at scale. ServiceNow appears to be executing that strategy exceptionally well.

One of the key reasons I started collecting NOW is the company's decision to raise its full-year Now Assist AI revenue target by 50%, from $1 billion to $1.5 billion. Management highlighted that customer demand for AI Agent solutions has significantly exceeded expectations, with larger deal sizes and stronger renewal rates. This suggests that AI is no longer just a future opportunity for ServiceNow—it is already becoming a meaningful revenue driver today.

Another factor that caught my attention is the company's hybrid pricing model, combining software licenses with AI consumption-based revenue. This approach allows ServiceNow to benefit not only from customer adoption but also from increasing usage over time. As enterprises deploy more AI agents across their workflows, the monetization potential could expand far beyond traditional subscription growth.

Beyond AI, ServiceNow is demonstrating multiple growth engines. Its security business has already surpassed the $1 billion milestone, while RaptorDB generated more than $100 million in annual contract value within its first year. These developments show that the company is not relying solely on one product or one trend, but is building a diversified platform capable of sustaining long-term growth.

Finally, growing institutional confidence further strengthens my conviction. Bank of America recently resumed coverage with a Buy rating and a $130 target price, while CITIC Securities raised its target to $168. Combined with the recent strong price action and accelerating AI monetization story, I see ServiceNow as a high-quality software company positioned at the intersection of enterprise digital transformation and AI. While volatility is always possible, I believe NOW deserves a place in my watchlist and accumulation portfolio for the years ahead.

As a retail investor, I focus mainly on the US and Singapore markets, combining a mix of technical trading and long-term investing strategies. I enjoy analyzing charts, spotting patterns, and making calculated moves based on both market sentiment and fundamentals.
