ServiceNow (ServiceNow (NOW)) shares are getting a boost Monday after the company, together with Accenture (Accenture (ACN)), unveiled a new suite of AI-powered services aimed at helping businesses ditch their old-school risk management platforms and embrace something a bit more futuristic: agentic AI.
The joint offering has two main pieces. First, there are managed security services built on the ServiceNow AI Platform. Second, there's an Accenture AI-powered automation solution. The idea is to remove the cost and complexity that usually keeps companies stuck on legacy cybersecurity systems.
This comes at a time when the cost of getting hacked is higher than ever. According to the announcement, data breach costs in the U.S. hit an all-time high of $10.22 million per incident in 2025, a 9% increase from the year before. And the bad guys are moving faster: AI has compressed the timeline between finding a vulnerability and exploiting it from months to hours.
“The future of cybersecurity will be driven by autonomous operations powered by AI,” said Lou Fiorello, group vice president and general manager of Security and Risk products at ServiceNow. Rex Thexton, global chief technology officer at Accenture Cybersecurity, added, “By combining Accenture’s deep cybersecurity expertise with the ServiceNow AI Platform, we are helping organizations modernize security operations, strengthen resilience, and turn cybersecurity into a driver of business confidence and agility.”
The services include unified integrated risk management, operational technology (OT) risk management, and proactive compliance monitoring. Security teams will use AI agents to keep an eye on vendors and automatically respond to regulatory changes, all from a single platform.
So, what does this mean for the stock? From a trend perspective, ServiceNow is still digging out of a hole. It's down 50.58% over the past 12 months and sits 24.3% below its 200-day moving average of $134.11. That keeps the bigger-picture outlook cautious. On the brighter side, the stock is 1.6% above its 50-day SMA of $99.88. The RSI is at 50.32, which is basically neutral — not overbought, not oversold.
The near-term chart shows a tug-of-war: the 20-day SMA ($105.69) is above the 50-day SMA (a bullish crossover), but the 50-day remains below the 200-day (a death cross that formed back in August 2025). That mix often leads to choppy rallies that need follow-through to become a sustained trend.
Key levels to watch: resistance at $111, a round number where rebounds can stall, and support at $85.50, a prior demand zone above the 52-week low of $81.24.
At the time of publication Monday, ServiceNow shares were up 4.68% at $102.94.
