ServiceNow Shares Plunge 26% Despite Q4 Revenue Beat; Citi Slashes PT to $177
NOW sits 19% above its 52-week low of $81.24.
Summary
ServiceNow reported Q4 revenue of $3.57 billion, exceeding analyst estimates. Despite this beat, the company's shares experienced a significant decline of 26%. Concurrently, Citigroup lowered its price target for ServiceNow to $177 from $237. This sharp market reaction, contrasting with the reported earnings beat, suggests that investors may be reacting to other factors such as future guidance (not detailed in the headline) or a re-evaluation following a substantial 125% surge in Q1 driven by UAE investor interest in AI software. This material stock movement and analyst downgrade indicate a significant shift in market sentiment and warrant immediate attention from traders.
