ServiceNow aims for $30 billion in subscription revenue long-term but faces challenges after its $7.75 billion Armis acquisition, which is costly compared to peers and pressures margins and cash flow. The company took on $4 billion in new debt to fund the deal, increasing interest expenses and impacting free cash flow. Additionally, stock-based compensation is expected to stay flat, limiting operating leverage. Achieving the ambitious growth target requires about 31% earnings growth over five years, which is demanding compared to current growth rates and analyst expectations.
