Company outlook
Full year 2026
- Operating income$6M – $49MFirst given
Set against the company's own guidance and the same quarter a year earlier, not analysts' estimates, which we do not hold. Adjusted figures are the company's own non-GAAP measures, as stated in the release.
| Measure | 3 months toSep 30, 2026 | 3 months toSep 30, 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Revenue | $430.8M | $447.1M | -3.64% |
| Profit | -$687.5M | -$21.9M | -3,042.24% |
| Profit per share | -$9.15 | -$0.27 | -3,288.89% |
| Free Cash Flow | $43.8M | $30.1M | +45.58% |
These are single quarters, not a trailing year — the figures elsewhere on this site cover twelve months and will be much larger. A seasonal business swings a long way between the two: ServiceNow earns $2.0B of free cash flow in its December quarter and $0.5B in its June one.
Compared against the same quarter a year earlier, not against an analyst forecast. A “beat” or “miss” needs a consensus estimate, which is licensed data we do not carry — and getting it wrong is worse than leaving it out.
Earnings calls
What management said
“We’re continuing the course we laid out last year: simplify the company around People Inc. and our MGM Resorts investment. With ample capital, we’re well positioned to invest in our own stock and pursue opportunities for value creation,”

How the share price reacted
Releases land before the open or after the close, so the window runs from the close before the report day to the close of the session after it — the reaction is inside it either way.
