Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 2% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published December 29, 2025
ServiceNow is a strong software company getting positive analyst attention, but the stock has been weak recently so any rebound needs proof it can hold gains. Analysts point to a stock split and comparisons to competitors as reasons for interest, and they note the shares look oversold. In a broadly weak market, early rallies often fail, so wait for clearer signs of stabilization.
Primary drivers
- Analysts prefer NOW versus peers, boosting buying interest
- Stock split raises awareness and makes shares easier to buy
- Deeply sold shares can snap back in a short-term bounce
- AI automation growth could expand valuation if sentiment improves
How it played out
NOW: target missed after a brief same-day peak
Lyra published NOW at $155.15 on 2025-12-29 with expected growth of 25%. The thesis was cautious. It pointed to analyst preference versus peers, a stock split, oversold shares that could rebound, and automation tied to artificial intelligence as possible support if sentiment improved.
Inside the window, NOW peaked at $155.69 on 2025-12-29, a 0.4% gain. It stayed below the $193.94 target and never got there. By the end of the window, it was $103.64. The thesis missed.
