Is ServiceTitan profitable?
Now that ServiceTitan is a publicly traded company, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission requires it to publicly file financial disclosures. It made its first report as a public company in early 2025.
The software company's fiscal second quarter 2026 financial report noted that its total revenue rose 25% year-over-year to $242.1 million. Despite that strong revenue growth, ServiceTitan posted a $34.8 million net loss on a GAAP basis, which was higher than the $32.6 million loss it posted in the prior year period.
However, the company's non-GAAP cash flow was reported to be $34.3 million while the year prior had ServiceTitan working with only $18.7 million.
Does ServiceTitan pay a dividend?
No, ServiceTitan didn't pay a dividend as of early 2025. The software company had just completed its IPO. Further, it wasn't yet profitable on a GAAP basis, though it was producing free cash flow.
ETFs with exposure to ServiceTitan
Because ServiceTitan just completed its IPO in late 2024, you won't find many exchange-traded funds (ETFs) offering exposure to the stock. You can, however, invest in an ETF with similar investment themes that could eventually hold its stock.
Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF)
Notable options include:
- SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (NYSEMKT:XHB): This ETF invests in the homebuilders segment of the S&P Total Market Index. As of late 2025, it had 36 holdings, the largest of which were concentrated in consumer durables (51.5%), producer manufacturing (23.16%), and reatil trade (15.82%). The fund's expense ratio is 0.35%, which amounts to $35 on a $10,000 investment.
- Global X Cloud Computing ETF (NASDAQ:CLOU): If you're focused on increasing your exposure to cloud computing stocks, this ETF is one option. The fund tracks the Indxx Global Cloud Computing Index, which comprises companies that stand to benefit from the growth in cloud computing, such as software-as-a-service (SaaS) and product-as-a-service (PaaS) companies, data center real estate investment trusts (REITs), and cloud and edge computing infrastructure and hardware companies. As of late 2025, the ETF had 38 holdings and an expense ratio of 0.68%, which translates to $68 in fees for an investment of $10,000.
- Invesco QQQ ETF (NASDAQ:QQQ): A popular choice with investors seeking broad exposure to the tech sector is the Invesco QQQ ETF, which tracks the performance of the Nasdaq-100 index, consisting of the 100 largest nonfinancial stocks on the Nasdaq exchange. Because the fund invests heavily in growth stocks, it has significantly outperformed the S&P 500 on a 10-year basis, but its declines are often steeper during a bear market. The fund's 0.2% expense ratio means you'd pay $20 in fees on a $10,000 investment.

The bottom line on ServiceTitan
ServiceTitan completed its widely anticipated IPO in late 2024. Eager investors scooped up shares, sending the stock soaring well above its IPO price.
Because of that, the company's valuation is high, especially considering it's not yet profitable. However, ServiceTitan's cloud-based software catering to home builders and other professional contractors is a good product. It puts the company in a strong position to grow its sales and become profitable over time. Interested investors will need to weigh its growth potential against its valuation to see if it's a good investment for them.
