More from our coverage
- NOWSoftware7.7ServiceNow: we would own it below $151.31A rare enterprise platform still growing above 20% with high retention; the free cash flow is real but stock pay takes a large share of it.Base value $189.13

- CRWDCybersecurity6.7CrowdStrike: on our watch listA category leader with strong growth and real cash flow, but stock pay consumes most of the free cash flow and the price assumes years of flawless execution.Base value $300.07
- GOOGLPlatforms6.5Alphabet: we would own it below $167.68Search pays for everything, and AI is both its biggest threat and its biggest opportunity; the price has to allow for search being worth less than it was.Base value $209.60
