ServiceNow stock slides as IBM budget warning turns July earnings into a core-growth test
ServiceNow Inc. fell 5.8% to $104.85 in early trading on Tuesday, erasing roughly $6.7 billion of market value, after International Business Machines Corp. warned that spending on AI servers and storage was squeezing software budgets. The move came even as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq opened higher. Investors are treating a hardware-spending shift as an immediate test of ServiceNow’s premium valuation.
