“ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE:NOW) is a leading provider of workflow automation software. We see the company as a key enabler of modernization and digital transformation, which is well-positioned as enterprises look to converge on a single platform solution. Despite its sizable customer base, we believe ServiceNow still has substantial room to expand spending with existing customers, as most have not fully leveraged its full product suite. We also are encouraged by the company’s strong leadership team and history of innovation which should enable it to continue to expand wallet share. Additionally, despite ongoing investments in growth, ServiceNow continues to drive healthy operating leverage.”
