If you believe NOW’s growth and profitability premium can persist without a major multiple compression, then maintain or add selectively because its revenue growth, margins, and ROIC are all materially superior to ACI despite the model’s large downside indication.
On the provided P/E basis, NOW screens expensive relative to ACI at 66.6x versus 28.9x, while the implied price of $48.35 suggests 56.5% downside from the current $111.23. However, the company’s historical band of $100.11 to $122.35 places the current price near the lower end of its own range, implying the discount is more severe in the relative valuation model than in the stock’s recent trading history.
