Why is ServiceNow stock sliding today?
ServiceNow (NOW) stock fell 3.0% to $141.29 due to geopolitical tensions and profit-taking after a 30% monthly surge. Analysts had raised price targets, but insider sales and high valuation made it vulnerable. Broader market declines also contributed, with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones down slightly.
