ServiceNow Q2 2026: 24% revenue growth and $29B RPO headline a quarter defined by $8.8B in M&A-driven margin compression
ServiceNow delivered 24% total revenue growth in Q2 2026, with subscription revenue of $3.877 billion and RPO of $29.0 billion (up 21% YoY), signaling durable enterprise demand. The Armis ($7.6 billion) and Veza ($1.2 billion) acquisitions structurally compressed subscription gross margin from 80% to 73% QoQ through acquisition-driven intangible amortization — a cost that will persist for five to six years. The effective tax rate nearly doubled to 32% from 18%, driven by stock-based compensation shortfalls, adding a second margin headwind that the non-GAAP presentation obscures.
