Original post text
$NOW margins won't get compressed due to inference costs. ServiceNow's pricing bypasses inference cost issue by making AI consumption-based.
🐂 Bull Case
- Revenue growth (0.221) accelerates on AI/optical demand — PT +20-30%
- Price above SMA50 (98.9), Weinstein stage 1 — momentum intact
- Institutional inflows + sector rotation favors AI supply chain names
🐻 Bear Case
- RSI 68.7 — overbought risk, near-term pullback possible
- PE (72.39521) elevated; any guide-down triggers de-risking
- Gross margin (0.76562) compression risk if competitive pressure rises
🚫 Invalidation
Close below SMA200 (140.5) on above-average volume
Break Conditions
- Price closes below SMA200 (140.5) on weekly timeframe
- Revenue growth turns negative for 2+ consecutive quarters
