If you believe NOW can sustain 20%+ revenue growth while preserving its 77.5% gross margin and high-teens operating leverage, then holding is defensible despite the premium; otherwise, the valuation gap versus ROST and the far-below-current DCF range argue for reducing exposure.
NOW trades at 66.6x P/E and 8.7x P/S versus ROST at 38.0x P/E and 3.5x P/S, so the market is paying a substantial premium for NOW despite the comparison set. The implied price of $63.43 is 43.0% below the current price, and the current quote also sits above the top of the DCF range.
