How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 22.0x Exit PE.

In-depth Analysis How we analyze

Valuation Analysis: NOW is currently trading at $105.56, which is considered slightly high relative to its 30-day fair value range of $95.74 to $107.84.

This aligns with recent fundamental challenges.
