Sell signals show what the stock did after the AI exited. A negative number means the AI's exit was well-timed.
Buffett-style framework
AIUP exited NOW on 2026-10-14 and re-entered two days later at a 4.67% weight, while BUZZ was gradually accumulating before a sudden cut on 2026-10-15 and LQAI and AIEQ hold only token positions. This mix of conviction and churn conflicts with a Fail verdict built on valuation and sub-15% ROE, and the AIUP round trip looks like momentum or rebalancing rather than value-driven buying.
- Circle of CompetenceServiceNow sells subscription workflow software with high renewal rates and recurring revenue, so its unit economics are predictable enough to project, even though AI-driven change in enterprise software adds some uncertainty.
- Economic MoatDeep integration into enterprise IT, HR and customer workflows creates high switching costs that should persist for ten or more years, although AI-native challengers could pressure it at the margins.
- ManagementCandor and capital allocation cannot be judged from the data provided, and heavy stock-based compensation and dilution are a concern that would need review of the shareholder communications.
- Financial HealthThe current ROE of 13.77% is below the 15% threshold, and the ten-year record likely includes years under 10%, so the return-on-equity test is not met despite strong revenue growth and positive cash generation.
- Margin of SafetyA P/E of 86.67, EV/EBITDA of 32.76 and price-to-book of 12.27 price in years of flawless growth, which leaves no margin of safety even for a high-quality business.
ServiceNow passes the circle of competence and moat tests, but its ROE falls short of the framework's bar and its valuation leaves no margin of safety. Management could not be judged from the data. This is a high-quality business priced for perfection, so the framework fails it on price and returns on equity.
