Overview

In early July 2026 ServiceNow’s shares fell about 20% as analysts questioned the impact of generative AI on the company’s SaaS model. Despite the dip, several institutional investors increased their positions, while insiders sold more than 28,000 shares.

A week later J. Safra Sarasin Holding AG disclosed a 94.4% reduction of its stake, selling 384,506 shares and retaining a residual 22,647 shares valued at roughly $2.4 million. The filing also listed insider sales by Jacqueline P. Canney (8,927 shares for $799,859) and Paul Fipps (1,048 shares for $103,238), bringing total insider disposals over the prior 90 days to about 28,070 shares worth $2.5 million.

In late July Epoch Investment Partners confirmed a 12% trim, off‑loading 39,398 shares and ending the quarter with 288,791 shares valued at about $30.2 million. Other investors such as Brighton Jones, Sivia Capital Partners, United Bank and Riggs Asset Management also adjusted their positions, but overall institutional ownership remained near 87%.

On 26 July ServiceNow reported second‑quarter revenue of $3.99 billion, a 24% year‑over‑year rise, with subscription revenue up 25% to $3.88 billion and adjusted earnings per share climbing 11% to $0.90, beating expectations. AI‑related contract value jumped 40% quarter‑over‑quarter to over $1 billion, and the cybersecurity business was valued at $1 billion. Full‑year subscription guidance was lifted to $15.76‑$15.78 billion. Despite a roughly 40% YTD decline, the stock rose 7% to $105.71 after the release. ServiceNow also invested $40 million in fintech startup BUSINESSNEXT, valuing it at $700 million to build an autonomous operating fabric for financial‑services customers across the Asia‑Pacific region. Institutional investors responded positively: Waverly Advisors added 81,797 shares, keeping institutional ownership at about 87.2% of outstanding shares.
