ServiceNow's stock has declined nearly 50% as the company faces a strategic paradox: it must sell AI technology (Now Assist) that could commoditize its core business. While the company's Configuration Management Database provides switching costs and 98% customer renewal rates, AI is automating the process-driven workflows that form ServiceNow's foundation. The shift to AI products introduces higher compute costs, pressuring margins, while traditional growth is maturing with 85% of large enterprises already customers. Competition from embedded rivals like Microsoft further threatens ServiceNow's platform value.
