Jim Cramer Looked at 17 Stocks, Including Microsoft, CrowdStrike, and Salesforce

14. ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE:NOW)

ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE:NOW) was among the stocks Jim Cramer looked at recently, as he discussed the recent bounce in software stocks. Cramer noted it as a “chronic underperformer” during the episode, as he commented:

ServiceNow’s finally in the black for the day. It’s got an expanded buyback, and the CEO bought a ton of stock at a much higher price. It’s been a chronic underperformer; it’s still down 42% for the year. It can go higher… Both ServiceNow and Salesforce have some businesses that should be disruptable and others that aren’t. If you have any division, though, that is disruptable right now, Wall Street is merciless to your stock.

ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE:NOW) provides a cloud platform that supports digital workflows through AI, automation, low-code tools, analytics, and a suite of IT, security, customer service, and employee experience products. A caller asked about the stock during the March 23 episode, and Cramer said:

Okay, now what we’re dealing with here is stock sells at 26 times earnings. That’s incredibly cheap for a great growth stock. But we all know that there is turmoil when it comes to these, you know, software as a service stocks are so bearish. It’s so painful for me to say this, but as much as I respect Bill McDermott, I think the stock’s going to be in for a little bit more turbulence than it already has been because that particular SaaS business model is disliked intensely right now on Wall Street.
