ServiceNow Q1 FY2026 Earnings: M&A Reshapes Balance Sheet
ServiceNow reported Q1 FY2026 revenue of $3.77 billion, beating guidance, and the stock fell ~17% the next day. The 10-Q shows why: a balance sheet reshaped by Veza (closed in-quarter) and Armis (closed April 20, three days before the filing), goodwill up $963M Q/Q, the largest single-quarter buyback in NOW's history, and GAAP operating margin compressing 126 basis points year-over-year while non-GAAP operating margin rose.
