ServiceNow (NOW) Stock Trades Up, Here Is Why

What Happened?

Shares of enterprise workflow automation company ServiceNow (NYSE:NOW) jumped 4.6% in the morning session after Snowflake's impressive first quarter results provided a tailwind for the workflow platform. 

SNOW and NOW are not just sector peers, they are formal partners, with Snowflake feeding data directly into ServiceNow's AI workflows via a Zero Copy integration, meaning SNOW's acceleration in AI accounts is a plausible read through for NOW's platform, not just a sentiment trade. ServiceNow positions itself as "the AI control tower for the enterprise, it is the layer that decides what AI agents do once they have the data. Snowflake provides that data. 

When SNOW's CEO said AI is collapsing pipeline build time and driving its strongest sequential revenue growth in company history, the direct beneficiary of more enterprise data flowing faster is the platform that acts on it. ServiceNow's Workflow Data Fabric federates Snowflake data in real time, meaning SNOW's AI accounts and accelerating consumption expand the pool of live enterprise data that NOW's agents can query and trigger workflows against.

What Is The Market Telling Us

ServiceNow’s shares are quite volatile and have had 17 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 10 days ago when the stock gained 8.9% on the news that Bank of America reinstated coverage on the stock with a "Buy" rating and a $130 price target. 

BofA argued that ServiceNow sits in a "mission-critical" spot inside large companies (its software runs the IT, HR, and customer-service workflows that are deeply embedded and expensive to rip out) and that AI will likely make the platform more valuable, not less. The call directly pushed back on the worry that hammered the stock all year: that AI agents could replace workflow software. 

The move was helped by a flurry of new AI partnership announcements with Experian, Accenture, FedEx Dataworks, and Boomi, signalling that ServiceNow's agentic-AI projects are moving out of pilot mode and into real production deployments.

ServiceNow is down 27% since the beginning of the year, and at $107.62 per share, it is trading 48.5% below its 52-week high of $208.94 from July 2025. Despite the year-to-date decline, investors who bought $1,000 worth of ServiceNow’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,135.
