ServiceNow Hits New Post-IPO High
TechStockProspector   9/13/2012 4:38:19 PM

So much for getting a bargain on ServiceNow anytime soon. The momentum crowd loves this stock, driving it to a new post-IPO high today of $38.32, 113% above the June IPO price of $18.

With the market cap up to $4.62 billion, ServiceNow trades at 12.7 times the 2013 consensus revenue estimate of $363.1 million. If this valuation holds, expectations will be mighty high going into the next earnings report.

BMC looks most vulnerable because it's the main competitor replaced at the enterprise level, according to NOW management. BMC is seeing some SaaS success at the lower end, but NOW does not compete there. H-P is generally vulnerable for many reasons, but that's a whole other story.

PredicatableChaos,

You are right. The google finance shows negative EPS. So they are losing money. Interesting, their revenue is not small (for a technology company), but they are still losing money. Spending for new technology or products.

@minvestor

Yahoo finance shows a forward P/E of well over 1000.

Since they're currently losing money, Forward P/E may or may not be meaningful.  The stock is up again today.

It looks like these guys have found a really useful cloud service and the growth indicates that their customers agree. There are still many good opportunities out there.

P/E over 1000? How did you get this number?

@Robert,

It looks like your articles can move the market - NOW is up over 7% for the day.

From a financial point of view, it looks like a great business; but with a P/E over 1000 the price is too high for you and me.
