About ServiceNow (NOW)
ServiceNow sells a cloud-software platform (the Now Platform) that large organisations use to automate and digitise workflows. It started in IT service management (handling the IT department's support requests) and expanded into human resources, customer service and operations, more recently with a strong push into artificial intelligence. It works by subscription: customers pay a recurring fee, which gives relatively predictable revenue.
It trades on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker NOW and is part of the S&P 500. It is a growth company that generally pays no dividend, reinvesting profits in the business. The share value is closely tied to the expectation that it will keep growing fast, so it tends to be more volatile than a mature dividend company.
