NOW ServiceNow Inc.

ServiceNow sells cloud-based software that runs the routine work inside large organizations — automating the workflows, approvals, and hand-offs that move between departments, with applications layered on a single platform. Customers are public and private institutions that pay a recurring subscription for access rather than buying the software outright. The company writes the code once and rents it to many, which is why most of the sales dollar falls through as gross profit; the platform itself is the product.

NRG Energy is a competitive power company in the United States: it owns a fleet of electricity-generating plants and it sells electricity and natural gas directly to homes and businesses in deregulated retail markets, where customers choose their own supplier.

It is capital-intensive and carries debt against its plants.
