Contributors at both ends of the window: FY26 31 and 32. A change in the average can come from a new contributor as much as from a changed mind, so both counts stay in view.
Measured between two of our own nightly snapshots of one fiscal period, so a new fiscal year entering the view is never read as a revision. Never backfilled. A window still filling says how many days it holds; a blank one means our record is not that long yet.
If the Street is right, what does that imply for the share price?
Pick a fiscal year and a multiple and the sum runs on the numbers the Street published.
Each point on the line is a multiple, and the flag is the price it implies for FY27. Past multiples are context, not a guide to future ones.
This is multiplication, not a forecast. It assumes the market pays the multiple you chose and that the consensus is right. Both are often wrong.
What you pay for the growth
You are paying 26.8 times the FY26 consensus for earnings the Street expects to grow about 22% a year to FY28. That is 1.2 times the growth rate.Show today's multiple against its own recordHide the multiple record
How much do analysts disagree?
For FY30, estimates run from $8.35 to $8.83 around an average of $8.49, drawn by 11 analysts.
The dashed line is FY25 filed $1.67, on the GAAP basis.
A wide spread is disagreement, not risk; a narrow one is agreement, not accuracy. Later years are always wider because fewer people forecast them. Bars in amber rest on fewer than 15 analysts. The tick on each bar is the average.
Is next quarter a high bar or an easy one?
Analysts expect ServiceNow to earn $1.02 a share in the September quarter, the average of 26 estimates. Results are expected by Jan 27, 2027.
low $0.93
The step from a filed quarter to a consensus crosses bases: the filed figure is the company's own GAAP number and the consensus is on the Street's basis. It is printed with both bases named, not as growth. For the December quarter, analysts expect $1.07 a share.
Does ServiceNow usually beat or miss?
We have not been able to check a quarter yet. Our record of estimates for ServiceNow begins on Jul 4, 2026, and a quarter can be checked only when we hold an estimate for it from before the company reported. The next report is expected by Jan 27, 2027.
We started recording estimates on Jul 4, 2026, so quarters that reported before that date cannot be checked.
Checked against the company's reported figure (GAAP) and the average estimate we recorded the night before its results release. Where analysts' number is on an adjusted basis, we leave the comparison out rather than force it. We started recording estimates for ServiceNow on Jul 4, 2026, so earlier quarters cannot be checked, and we never fill them in after the fact.
Where the growth comes from
The Street expects sales to grow 18.5% in FY27 and EPS 21.6%. Nearly all of it is sales: the net margin moves from 25.4% to 26.2%, and the implied share count from about 1.05B to 1.05B, so these numbers assume no buyback.Show the decomposition and the margin ladderHide the decomposition

Average estimate with low to high beneath. Amber counts mark thin coverage and thin rows carry an amber rule. Shares = consensus net income ÷ consensus EPS, a direction rather than a decimal. The filed row's last column is today's price over the last four reported quarters, the one trailing multiple in that column. a This step crosses the seam: last year is a filed GAAP actual and this year is a consensus estimate, so the two are not prepared on one basis. b More than a third of the analyst panel changed between these two years, so the difference of the two averages measures the panel rather than the forecast.
