Benchmark analyst Yi Fu Lee initiated coverage of ServiceNow with a Buy rating and a $125 price target, highlighting a 50% stock drop as a buying opportunity. The firm believes ServiceNow is well positioned to benefit from AI-driven growth, supported by CEO Bill McDermott's long-term vision and strong Q4 FY2025 financials, including doubled net new ACV and 34% free cash flow growth. Despite risks like federal budget tightening and integration challenges, Benchmark sees the stock as undervalued with solid revenue visibility and a $5 billion share repurchase plan. This initiation adds a cautious but optimistic voice to the bullish analyst consensus, emphasizing long-term fundamentals over short-term momentum.
