Summary
ServiceNow has significantly raised its annual subscription revenue forecast for 2026, now expecting between $15.74 billion and $15.78 billion, up from its previous outlook of $15.53 billion to $15.57 billion. This positive revision is driven by robust demand for its AI-powered software solutions among enterprise clients.
