Hi Scott,
For subscribers not familiar with NOW its a California based cloud-based software company that provides enterprise solutions for digital workflows. It helps businesses automate and streamline their operations across IT, HR, customer service, and other departments.
On the surface NOW’s earnings last week looked impressive:
- Total Revenues: $2.96 billion, also up 21% from the previous year.
- Adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS) $3.67, slightly above analyst expectations of $3.65.
- The company authorised a further $3 billion for share repurchases.
However, the stock slipped due to concerns over slightly lower-than-expected subscription revenue growth forecasts. We agree that the business should be a beneficiary of the AI revolution and feel NOW is in an accumulation zone after correcting over 2o%.
There are forecasts on the MM Website for NOW here, though LSEG are not producing the detailed stock report on this company, which is a quant report available on most stocks. It’s a strongly supported stock with consensus price target of ~$US1170, over 25% above Fridays close.
