Israeli Prime Minister: This visit to the US aims to understand the US President’s views on the Iran issue.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview that the conflict between Israel and Iran will only end when Iran’s current regime is overthrown or so weakened that it is forced to abandon its nuclear program. He emphasized that Iran’s nuclear program must be terminated "regardless of whether an agreement is reached". When discussing the planned meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, Netanyahu noted that the meeting will not focus on delivering new intelligence, as the military and intelligence agencies of the U.S. and Israel are already in close cooperation. He stated that the purpose of the trip is to discuss with Trump and understand his thinking, adding that the development of the situation largely depends on Trump’s final decision. In addition, Netanyahu also commented on the U.S.-Saudi nuclear deal. He expressed agreement with Trump’s stance that "Saudi Arabia can only access a civilian nuclear deal", and stressed that both Israel and the U.S. will never allow Saudi Arabia to possess a military nuclear program. Netanyahu also said he will "definitely" attend the United Nations General Assembly to be held in New York in September. (CCTV News)

Lido Responds to stETH Yield Calculation Anomaly: Issue Fixed, Oracle Upgraded, User Funds Unaffected.

Ethereum staking protocol Lido stated on X that today’s stETH rebase has been completed as expected, with ETH rewards omitted yesterday due to calculation gaps now fully restored. The corresponding annual percentage rate (APR) stands at approximately 2.29%. The protocol’s oracle has also been updated and audited; the new version will boost report processing speed and enable faster root cause identification for similar future issues. Regarding yesterday’s reward calculation anomaly, Lido said contributors are still conducting root cause analysis, with additional investigation details to be shared on its official forum and social media channels. User funds were never at risk throughout the entire incident. The initial assessment points to a special edge case as the likely cause: a validator in pending deposit status was omitted from yesterday’s reward report, resulting in some staking rewards not being included in calculations. Lido noted that a full incident post-mortem report will be released in the coming days to further detail the root cause, remediation measures, and subsequent improvement plans.

Founder of Mango Labs: Has gone long on Changxin Technology, calling it a rare 1:5 leverage trading opportunity.

Mango Labs founder @dov_wo shared his market views, noting he has gone long on Changxin Technology, calling it a rare 1:5 risk-reward opportunity with a 20% downside and 100% upside, a 5-to-1 payout. @dov_wo outlined his bullish thesis as follows: low float ratio, regulatory tailwinds, and institutional optimism for its investment opportunity at a market cap below $3 trillion. He advised on the strategy: if Changxin gaps up tomorrow, close the position to lock in profits directly; if it gaps down then rallies, wait patiently and wrap up the trade within 3 days.

Jiang Zhuoer: Changxin Memory will likely hit its all-time high on its first day of trading, and recommended pairing it with hedging operations on Hyperliquid.

Jiang Zhuoer, founder of BTC.TOP (B.TOP), posted that Changxin Memory will likely open higher, surge then pull back, hitting its all-time high on the first trading day. The ideal play is to buy at the A-share opening, sell during the midday H-share-driven rally, then sell on A-share and buy back on H-share the next day to square positions. Without H-share exposure, investors will be trapped by the T+1 trading rule, possibly holding the stock for a lifetime just like PetroChina.

26 July 2026 | 14:23 BitMart has begun winding down its trading platform, becoming the fifth notable exchange to announce an exit in 2026 and the second in a matter of days.

Key Takeaways BitMart stops all trading on August 26. Platform operations officially end January 31, 2027. BMX fell roughly 47% after the announcement. 2026 is the heaviest year for exchange exits. Exchange tokens depend heavily on platform utility. Self-custody removes ongoing exchange counterparty exposure. According to BitMart’s official closure announcement, new registrations, deposits and new trading orders began being suspended on July 26 at 01:30 UTC. All trading services are scheduled to end on August 26 at 01:00 UTC, while the platform plans to cease operations completely on January 31, 2027.

The exchange described the decision as the result of a review of its operating conditions, market environment and future strategy. It disclosed no revenue figures, liquidity problems or shortage of customer assets.

An orderly wind-down still converts an active marketplace into a deadline-driven withdrawal operation, and the products and tokens built around the exchange can lose their purpose while the platform is still online.

Important Notice

After a careful evaluation of the Company’s operating conditions, market environment, and future strategic direction, BitMart has made the difficult decision to commence an orderly wind-down of its trading platform operations. We deeply regret having to make… pic.twitter.com/KX3zczIrAh

— BitMart (@BitMartExchange) July 26, 2026

The Practical Deadline Comes Before January 2027 BitMart’s final closure date is months away. The date that matters to active users is much closer.

The exchange will stop spot, futures and other trading services on August 26. Futures accounts are entering reduce-only mode, new spot orders are no longer being accepted and automated products such as copy trading, grid trading and API trading are being discontinued.

Any derivatives positions left open when trading ends may be settled using the applicable mark price, index price or settlement rules. Traders lose control over the timing of their exit in August, five months before the platform formally shuts.

BitMart recommends closing positions, completing any necessary identity verification and submitting withdrawal requests before August 26. Withdrawals are expected to remain available afterwards, though requests may be transferred into a separate processing procedure and could require additional documentation.

Users who wait may encounter heavier withdrawal traffic, longer compliance reviews or delayed responses from a support team handling an unusual volume of requests. Operational congestion alone can make access slower and more complicated.

BMX Lost the Business That Gave It Utility BitMart’s native BMX token fell roughly 47% following the announcement, according to the supplied daily chart.

The sell-off carried BMX beneath all three displayed moving averages. The 50-day SMA stood near $0.30, followed by the 100-day around $0.31 and the 200-day near $0.327. Price was trading around $0.0892 in the chart snapshot, leaving the token far below the range it occupied before the closure became known.

Daily BMX/USDT technical price chart displaying a sharp downward price drop / Source: TradingView The decline reflects a change in what BMX is for. According to BitMart’s official description of BMX, the token was created around exchange-specific benefits, including discounted trading fees. BitMart also planned to use part of its profits to repurchase and burn BMX.

Both mechanisms depend on an operating platform. Trading discounts lose their function when trading ends, while a buyback programme tied to company profits becomes less meaningful when the underlying business is being closed.

BMX will continue existing as an ERC-20 token after BitMart closes. The wind-down notice attaches no purpose to it, saying nothing about future buybacks, remaining exchange benefits or other token-related programmes.

The Difference Between a Token and a Share An exchange token may offer fee discounts, staking rewards, access to launches or benefits funded by platform revenue, which ties its value closely to the growth and activity of the issuing exchange.

Ownership in the company is a separate matter. Holding BMX gives its owner no direct claim on BitMart’s cash, customer base, technology or remaining assets during the wind-down, based on the exchange’s published utility description.

Token holders gain when trading activity and exchange revenue expand. They hold none of the legal protections or residual claims available to shareholders if the business closes.

BitMart’s decision comes only days after BitMEX published a separate closure timetable, with trading scheduled to end in September 2026. The same dynamic played out there: BMEX fell 92% while Bitcoin open interest on BitMEX had declined 96% from its 2024 peak, showing that both the token’s utility and the exchange’s trading relevance had already weakened sharply.

BitMEX is also facing a proposed lawsuit involving allegations of theft and insider trading. The complaint arrived during the shutdown period, though the available evidence does not establish that it caused the exchange’s decision to close.

Five Ways an Exchange Leaves the Market The history of failed and discontinued crypto exchanges is often presented as one long list, though the causes differ substantially:

Security failure: Assets are stolen through an external breach or internal compromise. BitGrail closed in 2018 after a large Nano theft, while Cryptopia was hacked in January 2019 and entered liquidation four months later. Insolvency: The exchange cannot meet its obligations. Mt. Gox stopped operating in 2014 after a major theft contributed to its collapse. Fraud: Customer assets or company records are deliberately misused. FTX collapsed in 2022 after customer deposits were misappropriated, leading to the conviction of founder Sam Bankman-Fried, while Thodex ended in 2021 and BitConnect in 2018. Regulatory shutdown: Authorities prevent the platform from continuing. BTC-e was seized by law enforcement in 2017 over its role in processing criminal funds. Commercial exit: Declining revenue, volume or strategic relevance makes continued operation unattractive. LocalBitcoins stopped active trading in 2023 after years of falling volume, and DMM Bitcoin transferred customer accounts and assets to SBI VC Trade in 2025. BitMart currently belongs in the final category based on the information it has disclosed. The company has announced an organised exit and kept withdrawals available.

Former Global CEO Nenter Chow added a detail that sits awkwardly with that reading. In a statement posted to X, he said his employment was terminated on July 24, two days before the closure notice, and that he was neither consulted about nor informed of the decision, learning of it when it became public. He urged users to rely on BitMart’s official channels and act on the notice without delay.

I want to clarify my position regarding BitMart’s notice on 26 July 2026 concerning the orderly wind-down of its trading platform operations.

On 24 July 2026 I was informed that my employment as Global CEO was being terminated and that my offboarding would begin immediately. I…

— Nenter (@50Nent) July 26, 2026

BitMart has not publicly responded to the statement, which is Chow’s own account. It establishes no cause for the closure, though it places the decision above the level of the company’s chief executive and suggests ownership rather than management drove the timing.

That classification could still change if new evidence emerges. The absence of a detailed financial explanation leaves the precise commercial reason unknown, and speculation is not a substitute for it.

Eight Years Put BitMart Above the Median BitMart was founded in 2017 and began developing its trading business in 2018. By July 2025, the company said it had served more than 10 million users across over 200 countries and regions. A year later, it is leaving the market.

Eight years of operation placed BitMart in the upper quarter of the industry’s survival record. Across 33 notable exchange closures since 2012, the median lifespan is four years:

Fourteen of the 33, or 42%, closed within three years. Bitcoinica and Altsbit lasted under twelve months. Six lasted exactly two years, among them TradeHill, Bitfloor and FCoin. Only eight, or 24%, reached eight years or more. Four survived a decade: LocalBitcoins, KUNA, Zondacrypto and BitMEX. 2026 has already produced more of those closures than any year in the set. Zondacrypto, Bitcom, AscendEX, BitMEX and BitMart have all announced exits with the year barely half finished, against a previous high of four in 2019.

The 2026 group is also unusually old. Its five members averaged more than nine years of operation against the four-year median, and two of them, Zondacrypto and BitMEX, tie for the longest-running exchanges on the list at twelve years each. This year’s exits cluster among established platforms.

The list mixes causes as much as durations. It contains Mt. Gox’s insolvency, BitConnect’s fraud and LocalBitcoins’ voluntary wind-down, and lifespan alone cannot separate them. Surviving a decade proved nothing about surviving an eleventh year.

An exchange remains an operating company regardless of its age, requiring recurring trading activity, sufficient fee revenue, banking access, secure custody, regulatory permission, competent management and enough customer trust to keep assets and orders on the platform. A company can continue processing trades while several of those foundations deteriorate, and users often see the formal closure notice only after management has spent months assessing whether the business remains viable.

How to Exit Before the Deadline BitMart’s timetable is preferable to an exchange abruptly freezing withdrawals or entering bankruptcy without warning. FTX shows what that alternative costs. It collapsed in November 2022, creditor repayments only began in February 2025, and the estate is still running distributions in 2026. Those creditors are repaid against claim values fixed at November 2022 prices, so passing 100% of a claim still leaves a Bitcoin holder short of the coins they deposited.

BitMart customers have been given time to close positions, redeem products, download records and transfer assets. Waiting until the final deadline remains the weakest option available.

The exhcnage warns that withdrawal requests may require identity checks, source-of-funds documentation, address verification, sanctions screening and Travel Rule reviews. Processing may also slow because of network conditions or a large number of simultaneous requests.

The exchange has separately warned users about scams offering paid priority withdrawals, account unfreezing or faster processing. BitMart says it will not request passwords, authentication codes, private keys or recovery phrases through private messages.

The practical response is administrative:

Review all spot balances and open derivatives positions. Redeem eligible staking, lending and Earn products. Complete required identity and security verification early. Confirm the correct blockchain and destination address. Download trading, deposit and withdrawal records. Use only BitMart’s official website and support channels. None of these steps require predicting whether BMX will recover or whether BitMart could reverse its decision. They reduce dependence on systems that are being progressively switched off.

What “Not Your Keys” Actually Means The phrase “not your keys, not your coins” is sometimes used as a blanket rejection of centralised services. Its precise meaning is narrower: cryptocurrency held on an exchange depends on that exchange’s systems and willingness to process withdrawals.

The user holds an account balance and a claim against the platform. The exchange holds the private keys needed to move the underlying blockchain assets.

Self-custody removes that continuing counterparty exposure. The cost is personal responsibility for private keys, backups, addresses and transaction security.

BitMart’s closure shows why the distinction matters. Even during an orderly wind-down, users must follow the platform’s deadlines, pass its reviews and wait for it to approve and broadcast withdrawals. Someone already holding assets in a self-controlled wallet depends on none of that.

BitMart may complete its wind-down cleanly and return every remaining balance. Even in that outcome, the BMX collapse and the withdrawal timetable show how quickly the relationship changes once the company behind the market decides to leave it. The tokens survive on-chain. The route to them closes with the company.

His work spans everything from Bitcoin and altcoins to macroeconomic trends influencing risk assets worldwide.

Crypto exchange BitMart has begun winding down its trading platform, gradually suspending new registrations, deposits and orders ahead of a full trading halt on Aug. 26.

In a notice published at 9:40 p.m. ET Saturday, the exchange said the decision followed an evaluation of its operating conditions, market environment and future strategic direction. 

All spot, futures and other trading services will stop at 01:00 UTC on Aug. 26. BitMart plans to cease trading platform operations at 15:59 UTC on Jan. 31, 2027, after which users will keep login access for a period to view records and submit withdrawal requests.

Withdrawals remain available, with BitMart recommending that users close their positions by 01:00 UTC and submit withdrawal requests by 05:00 UTC on Aug. 26. Requests made after that recommended timeframe will be transferred to a separate processing procedure, while some withdrawals may face additional identity, source-of-funds, sanctions or security reviews.

BitMart also began placing futures accounts in reduce-only mode and stopping the acceptance of new spot orders. Copy trading, grid trading and API trading are being discontinued in phases, along with BitMart Earn, staking, lending and Launchpad products.

BMX, the exchange's token, traded near $0.066 on Sunday morning, down nearly 60% over 24 hours, according to CoinGecko data. 

CEO says he was not consulted Following the announcement, global CEO Nenter (Nathan) Chow said on X that the company told him on July 24 that his employment was being terminated and that his offboarding would begin immediately.

Chow said he had played "no role in the management or decision-making of the company" since that date, was not consulted on the wind-down, and learned of it when it became public. He said he had not been given a confirmed final date for his departure and would not comment further.

Chow said his concern is for BitMart's users and employees, and told customers to rely only on the exchange's official channels and to act on the notice without delay. BitMart had not publicly addressed Chow's statement as of publication.

Chow joined BitMart from Animoca Ventures, where he was a partner, and was appointed global CEO in April 2025 when founder Sheldon Xia moved to group president.

Abrupt reversal The wind-down marks a reversal from BitMart's public messaging earlier this month. In a first-half report, BitMart said assets under management in its asset-management business grew approximately 256% period-over-period, while Chow outlined plans to expand the exchange's prediction markets, tokenized asset offerings and regulatory footprint.

"BitMart is eight years old this year," Chow said in the report. "We intend to be here for the next eight, and we are building accordingly."

Only a month earlier, BitMart said it had secured an Australian Financial Services Licence and planned to expand its local compliance, legal and operations capabilities. At the time, the company said it served more than 13 million users in more than 180 countries and territories. The wind-down announcement did not explain what had changed since either statement.

In a statement dated May 23, BitMart said online claims that users could not withdraw stemmed from its risk system intercepting 239 linked accounts that it accused of farming platform activity subsidies through abusive trading. It said all operations were running normally.

In that statement, BitMart said it would publish a proof-of-reserves report once security and risk-control considerations were addressed. Its website did not appear to contain a subsequent full report as of Sunday, though the exchange previously disclosed several hot-wallet addresses.

BitMart previously suffered a $150 million hot-wallet hack in December 2021. The Block later reported that the exchange's parent company won an arbitration award tied to a separate $6 million attack involving the Bitcoin SV blockchain.

The shutdown comes three days after BitMEX announced that it would close permanently on Sept. 23 following a strategic review. Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao described BitMart's announcement as "tough times (again)" in an X post and said the process appeared to be an orderly wind-down.

Two leases totaling almost 57,000 square feet at SL Green’s 1185  Sixth Ave. were just signed, bringing the 1.1 million square-foot tower between West 46th and 47th streets to about 92% full.

One lease was a 29,166 square-foot renewal and expansion for insurance firm Ryan Specialty LLC, while the other was a new, 27,508 square-foot lease with property management firm Solil Management LLC.

SL Green leasing director Steven Durels said, not surprisingly, “We’re delighted to have both of these highly regarded firms as part of the building’s premier tenant roster.”

The highrise has reached 92% occupancy. Stefano Giovannini The tower recently saw major improvements including for the lobby, elevators and corridors.

Moroccanoil, a luxury and body-care company, recently signed a lease for  37,000 square feet, moving from 135 E. 57th St. which is being converted to apartments.

Luke Lloyd discusses the market's reaction to rising AI investments from companies like Alphabet (GOOGL), arguing the spending is essential for future growth. He also shares a bullish outlook on software stocks, saying AI will enhance existing platforms rather than replace them.

The second quarter proved to be a strong one for big banks, which were fueled by a surge in investment banking and mergers and acquisitions, institutional trading, and rising asset levels. But one big bank failed to impress investors despite reporting solid results in Q2: Citigroup (C +0.23%).

Citigroup stock has tumbled some 7% since the bank reported earnings on July 14. It's surprising given how Citigroup performed, crushing estimates by a wider margin than many of its competitors. But the investment case may have turned negative for many investors on the tepid outlook.

But is this a knee-jerk reaction or a longer-term concern?

Image source: Getty Images.

Blowout Q2 results Citigroup turned in an excellent second quarter, with revenue up 14% year over year to $24.8 billion. This beat estimates of $23.7 billion. Net income skyrocketed 45% to $5.8 billion, or $3.15 per share, which destroyed consensus estimates of $2.73 per share. Earnings were buoyed by improving credit quality, as provisions for credit losses were $2.5 billion, 12% lower than the same quarter a year ago.

Citigroup posted strong gains across the board. Net interest income rose 13% year over year across the franchise. Equity markets trading revenue soared 45%, while investment banking revenue surged 44% year over year.

Also, its efficiency ratio, which shows how much the bank spends for every dollar of revenue, sank by 530 basis points to 57.4%. And its return on tangible common equity, another key efficiency metric, soared 430 basis points to 13%.

Given the strong results, investors were looking for the bank to raise its guidance, but it did not, as Citigroup maintained its previous guidance across its key metrics. Not only did Citigroup not lift its outlook, it raised some red flags.

Playing the long game On the earnings call, CFO Gonzalo Luchetti said management expects expense growth to outpace revenue growth in some of the next few quarters as the bank invests in its business. Some of the increased spending will come from pulling forward investments initially slated for 2027.

"We are taking full advantage of the market conditions, particularly if they are good in the second half, to be able to make the investments and take actions that will drive growth for the next number of years. And that is where and that is the message that the Street should be taking from this," CEO Jane Fraser said on the earnings call. "We are playing the long game."

The Street is actually bullish on Citigroup stock, with 77% rating it as a buy. It has a median price target of $156 per share, which suggests 18% upside.

Citigroup stock is cheap right now, trading at 12 times forward earnings and a PEG ratio below 1 at 0.72. And if the next few quarters are choppy, it could become even cheaper. The outlook may have changed the short-term investment case for some, but as Fraser said, they are playing the long game. It might not be a bad stock to pick up if it dips further, as the efficiency and growth metrics have been excellent.

United Chief Executive Scott Kirby called Delta's CEO to discuss a potential deal but the talks didn't progress, according to people familiar with the matter.

NEXT HEADLINE »Bank of Nova Scotia Has $23.07 Million Stock Position in NetApp, Inc. $NTAP

Micron Technology (MU -7.24%) and Sandisk (SNDK -10.79%) have recorded stunning gains on the stock market over the past year, primarily due to the favorable conditions in the memory market, where demand is substantially outpacing supply.

While Micron stock has jumped 728% during this period, Sandisk's gains are even more phenomenal at over 3,200%. However, both memory stocks have pulled back significantly. Shares of Micron are down by 24% over the past month, while Sandisk has taken a bigger hit by sliding 38%.

However, the pullback in these stocks seems like a solid buying opportunity for investors. But if you had to choose one of these semiconductor stocks for your portfolio right now, which one should you be buying? Let's find out.

Image source: The Motley Fool.

Sandisk and Micron's incredible growth is sustainable Sandisk and Micron's earnings and revenue have increased at an exponential pace in recent quarters. This is primarily due to the artificial intelligence (AI)-fueled demand for memory chips in data centers. Morgan Stanley notes that memory chip prices have jumped by 6x over the past year, as demand has significantly exceeded supply.

The investment bank also points out that the memory supply crunch won't ease anytime soon despite new capacity additions. Memory manufacturer SK Hynix corroborated Morgan Stanley's concerns earlier this month, pointing out that memory demand will outstrip supply beyond 2030. So, it won't be surprising to see the strong pricing environment that's supporting Sandisk and Micron's remarkable growth continuing.

Data by YCharts

Even better, both companies are setting themselves up for durable long-term growth, as evidenced by the long-term agreements they are signing with customers. Micron, for instance, noted on the June earnings call that it has signed 16 strategic customer agreements (SCAs), which have significantly increased its remaining performance obligations (RPO).

Specifically, Micron had $5 billion in RPO at the end of fiscal Q3, which ended in May. However, its RPO ballooned to $100 billion by the end of June, as customers scrambled to secure long-term memory supply. That number is likely to have increased further this month, as the company recently announced that it has signed SCAs with multiple companies serving the automotive industry.

RPO refers to the total value of contracts a company has to fulfill at the end of a period. So, Micron's improving revenue pipeline should allow the company to sustain its red-hot growth momentum and exceed analysts' expectations over the long run.

Similarly, Sandisk is also entering into multi-year supply agreements with customers as a part of its new business model. It signed five such agreements in the first four months of the year. Three of those agreements were worth a minimum revenue commitment of $42 billion, while it didn't disclose the value of the other two deals.

These agreements could significantly lift Sandisk's growth over the long run, considering that it has generated $13.2 billion in revenue over the past year. Not surprisingly, even Sandisk's revenue is projected to jump substantially from the recently concluded fiscal year's level of $19.8 billion.

Data by YCharts

Should you buy Sandisk or Micron, or both? The strong top-line growth that Sandisk and Micron are poised to deliver should ideally translate into robust bottom-line growth as well, as the supply crunch should ensure prices remain favorable for both companies. Not surprisingly, analysts are forecasting a significant uptick in their earnings over the long run.

Data by YCharts

What's worth noting is that both these semiconductor stocks have really attractive forward earnings multiples.

Data by YCharts

The S&P 500 index, for some perspective, has a forward earnings multiple of 21.5. So, both are value stocks, as their forward price-to-earnings ratios are below the S&P 500's despite their red-hot growth potential.

So, you can't go wrong with either Sandisk or Micron, as both AI stocks are capable of delivering significant long-term upside thanks to favorable memory market dynamics.

ServiceNow (NOW +7.38%) continued to deliver excellent revenue growth when the software-as-a-service (SaaS) company reported its Q2 earnings; however, it once again wasn't enough to lift the beaten-down stock. There has been a narrative that AI will disrupt the software layer, and as a result, SaaS stocks have seemingly been able to do no right. As a result, ServiceNow stock is down 40% on the year.

While its stock has been struggling, ServiceNow has shown no signs of its growth slowing down. The company's platform is the backbone of its customers' entire software stacks, and it's been seeing strong growth with both its AI and cybersecurity offerings.

Accelerating growth For Q2, ServiceNow's revenue jumped 24% year over year to $3.99 billion, while its adjusted earnings per share (EPS) rose 11% to $0.90. That was above the $0.86 in adjusted EPS and $3.93 billion in revenue that analysts were expecting.

Subscription revenue climbed 25% year over year to $3.88 billion, while professional services revenue rose 9% to $110 million. On a constant currency basis, subscription revenue accelerated from 19% growth in Q1 to that 23% growth.

ServiceNow is seeing strength in several areas. Its AI annual contract value (ACV) surged 40% quarter over quarter to over $1 billion, and it is on track to hit $1.5 trillion by year-end. Meanwhile, it said it already has a $1 billion cybersecurity business and that it's growing faster than any other top company in the space. It added that AI Control Tower, which launched just this spring, is "supercharging" its security and risk business.

The company also highlighted the momentum it was seeing in customer relationship management (CRM). It said this is already a $2 billion ACV business and that growth has been accelerating.

Another closely watched SaaS metric is remaining performance obligations (RPO), which is deferred revenue plus backlog growth, as it can be a future revenue growth indicator. In the quarter, ServiceNow saw its RPO increase by 21% to $29 billion, while current RPO (cRPO) also increased by 21% to $13.2 billion.

Looking ahead, the company projected its Q3 subscription revenue to grow 20.5% to a range of $3.975 billion to $3.98 billion. It anticipates cRPO to increase by 19.5%. For the full year, the company raised its subscription revenue guidance to a range of $15.76 billion and $15.78 billion, representing growth of 22.5%. That was up from prior revenue guidance of $15.735 billion to $15.775 billion, representing growth of 22% to 22.5%.

The company indicated that its guidance is likely conservative and that there could be upside given its strong new net ACV.

Trading at a forward price-to-sales (P/S) multiple of 5 based on 2027 analyst estimates and a forward P/E of 18, the stock looks undervalued for a company with a highly recurring business model and strong gross margins that is growing its revenue above 20%. However, valuation alone isn't a reason enough to buy the stock.

While it does face the risk of AI disruption, given how embedded its systems are in customers' workflows and data, I think this risk is minimal. I also think most organizations will not want to tie their fortunes to one AI model company, which is a big reason why having a separate software layer is important. Meanwhile, ServiceNow appears to be doing all the right things. It's leaned into both AI and cybersecurity, and it's handling business as usual.

At the same time, its AI Control Tower looks like it has strong potential to be a future growth driver. The rise of AI agents should create a big need for agentic AI orchestration platforms, and its solution looks poised to be a top option. It is designed to oversee every AI agent model running within an organization, while monitoring their performance and making sure they follow governance rules. With its acquisitions of Armis and Veza, it also has strong security protocols in place.

While it likely will require patience, I'd be a buyer of the stock.
