"Service Now biggest acquisition ever right and on a Tuesday we are seeing this on a Tuesday. We saw that they did reach a deal to buy cyber security startup uh Armis. This is a deal that's valued at about 7.75 billion. We know Service Now is an IT management company. Uh we are seeing this representing its largest acquisition to date. Service Now will pay in cash for this deal uh for Armis and it expects to fund the transaction through a combo of cash on hand as well as debt. So we're looking at shares that are down as much as 2.9% on the day."

The discussion on ServiceNow focuses on its largest acquisition to date of cybersecurity firm Armis for roughly 7.75 billion. Despite the strategic move, the stock is experiencing short-term weakness with shares down 2.9%, compounded by an overhang from recent share struggles. The deal, expected to close in the second half of 2026, presents both a long-term growth catalyst and near-term investor caution.
