Tue Dec 16 09:10:00 UTC 2025: ## ServiceNow Stock Plummets Amidst High Trading Volume, Analyst Shifts
New York, NY – Shares of ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE:NOW) experienced a significant drop on Monday, closing down 11.6% at $764.83 after hitting a low of $760.53. Trading volume surged to 5,881,771 shares, a 258% increase compared to the average daily volume.
The downturn comes despite generally positive analyst sentiment surrounding the company. Recent reports from JPMorgan Chase & Co., Royal Bank of Canada, and TD Cowen reiterated positive ratings and increased price targets. However, Wall Street Zen downgraded the stock to “Hold,” creating some mixed signals for investors. Overall, ServiceNow holds a “Moderate Buy” rating with a consensus price target of $1,137.58.
Several factors could be contributing to the volatility. The company is set to undergo a 5-for-1 stock split on Thursday, December 18th, which can often lead to short-term price fluctuations.
ServiceNow reported strong earnings on October 29th, exceeding expectations with an EPS of $4.82 on revenue of $3.41 billion. The company’s financial health appears solid, with a current ratio of 1.06 and a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.13.
Adding to the market activity, recent SEC filings revealed that Vice Chairman Nicholas Tzitzon and Director Paul Edward Chamberlain sold shares of the company’s stock in November, representing a decrease in their ownership.
Institutional investors have also been active, with some acquiring new positions and others increasing their existing stakes.
