On June 29, ServiceNow rose 3.04% in pre-market trading, trading at approximately $101.21/share, with turnover of $24.25 million. The stock continues to benefit from a broader AI application software sector rally that has gained momentum over recent sessions.

The key catalyst driving the sector-wide strength is the reported postponement of OpenAI's IPO due to financial challenges, which has significantly eased investor concerns that AI would fully displace traditional enterprise software. Analysts have noted that the narrative of AI entirely replacing software platforms is unrealistic, suggesting the most pessimistic period for the sector may have passed. ServiceNow previously surged over 9% on June 27 alongside peers Workday and Figma as this theme took hold.

Additionally, Benchmark raised its price target on ServiceNow to $130 from $125 while maintaining a Buy rating. The company has also announced a series of partnership expansions in recent weeks, including collaborations with HCL Technologies and Google Cloud for enterprise AI agents, Hewlett Packard Enterprise for autonomous AI-driven service delivery, IBM for legacy data modernization, and Inspira Enterprise for full-suite AI deployment capabilities.
