ServiceNow (NYSE:NOW) is under fresh scrutiny as generative AI raises questions about the durability of legacy software models across the industry.

The company has expanded its collaboration with Anthropic to embed advanced AI models into workflow automation and app development on the Now Platform.

ServiceNow is also rolling out AI driven solutions with clients such as Panasonic Avionics and Fiserv, signaling real world deployments rather than pilot projects.

For investors watching NYSE:NOW at a share price of $100.74, these AI moves arrive after a difficult stretch for the stock, with a 30 day return of 29.0% and a year to date return of 31.7%. The 1 year return of 50.0% contrasts with a 9.9% return over 3 years and a 14.8% return over 5 years, which gives a sense of how sharp the recent reset has been.

The key question now is whether ServiceNow can use its Anthropic partnership and customer deployments to keep its workflow platform central as generative AI spreads across enterprise IT. As more companies reassess software spending through an AI lens, investors may focus on how quickly these AI features translate into durable usage, broader adoption across large customers, and differentiated capabilities compared with rivals.

📊 The Anthropic tie up and live AI deployments aim to keep the Now Platform relevant as enterprises question legacy software models.

📊 Watch how quickly AI features gain traction with large customers, any impact on revenue growth, and whether the high 60.3x P/E and 44.3x forward P/E stay supported by earnings.

⚠️ The main risk in this context is that generative AI could compress pricing power or shift budgets toward new platforms if ServiceNow’s AI tools do not stand out.
