On July 7, ServiceNow rose 3.16% in regular trading, trading at $111.12/share, with turnover of $265 million. The stock gained alongside a broad rally in the AI application software sector.

On the news front, AI application software stocks including Palantir, Applovin, and Shopify all moved higher in a coordinated sector rally. Market sentiment has shifted as investors increasingly recognize that AI applications will not entirely replace traditional software services, but rather generate new demand in areas such as cybersecurity. The earlier extreme fear that AI giants would rapidly cannibalize the traditional software market has notably subsided. Additionally, Guggenheim previously upgraded ServiceNow from neutral to buy with a $125 price target, signaling that AI represents incremental opportunity rather than existential threat for established software companies. Benchmark also recently raised its price target on ServiceNow to $130 from $125, maintaining its buy rating. Analysts polled by FactSet assign ServiceNow an average buy rating with a mean price target of $140.76.
