Shares of ServiceNow (NOW) advanced 3.7% during Tuesday’s trading session, reaching an intraday peak of $114.92 before closing at $113.44. The stock finished Monday at $109.42.
Trading volume reached approximately 17.5 million shares throughout the day. This represented a decline of roughly 12% compared to the stock’s typical daily trading volume of 19.9 million shares.
The upward momentum suggests bargain hunters returned to the enterprise software space following an extended selloff that has pressured technology stocks.

Tuesday’s rally follows growing market confidence that artificial intelligence may not pose the existential threat to enterprise software platforms that some feared. Leadership commentary has consistently challenged predictions that AI will simply eliminate the need for comprehensive enterprise solutions, and market participants appear increasingly receptive to this perspective.
Just five trading days prior to Tuesday’s advance, NOW had already posted a 4.3% gain after Nvidia’s chief executive Jensen Huang dismissed concerns that AI would displace the enterprise software industry. That statement triggered a sector-wide rally that benefited companies like Zscaler (ZS) and CrowdStrike (CRWD).
New Products and a Telecom Win
ServiceNow introduced two artificial intelligence-powered solutions to its platform: Autonomous Workforce and EmployeeWorks. The products are designed to enhance workflow automation functionality for corporate clients.

This partnership leverages ServiceNow CRM technology to enable autonomous roaming resolution for telecom subscribers — demonstrating practical applications beyond the company’s core IT service management offerings.
ServiceNow also announced that HCLTech received the 2026 Partner of the Year award, signaling robust growth within its partner ecosystem and channel strategy.
