The Global Race for AI Adoption
00:00 The context here. Victoria is one of the action plan announced by the US Government really to take on China and the AI race that the US wants to win. From a regulatory perspective, how do you think the US is winning or not? So I think there's a lot of good that's in the action plan. But here is one part. You know, there's a lot of conversation about who's going to win the race. And a lot of that focus is on who's going to be at the cutting edge of innovation. And that is obviously important. But a conversation that is just starting to happen that I think is would potentially have an even bigger impact is who is going to win the race on adoption. By that I mean, which are the countries that are going to figure out how to use AI best? Because it is those countries that are going to see the biggest economic benefit from AI. That is the race. And that is that is largely up for grabs right now. I think the United States has an advantage there, and I think the AI action plan has a number of aspects that are focused on adoption, but that race is up for grabs. And I think that is going to be a big indicator of where we see the biggest economic benefit over the next decade. So enough focus, therefore, from your perspective on AI adoption, on training talent, to ensure that in enterprise we're actually getting bang for our buck, productivity actually goes up into the right. So there are a few aspects that I think are critical to adoption. And actually I'd say we release an agenda just before the action plan came out earlier last week. The focus is on three aspects. One is talent and workforce, and that is that is critical. I think there's no aspect more essential. The second is infrastructure and data, and the third is the governance framework and making sure that we get that right. And those three elements are things that the United States but governments around the world need to be figuring out right now if they are going to win the race on adoption. Victoria Last week on the program, Michael Kratsios, who leads the Office of Science and Tech at the White House, came on and he talked about packages that he sees America being a net exporter of everything in the stack from hardware through to the models themselves. You were talking about adoption a moment ago. How does America, as an exporter of AI fit into that? I think that's a critical piece. So a lot of the innovation is happening here in the United States for governments to be able to adopt they to have their private sector using AI in a way that they get the most economic benefit. A big piece of that is going to be AI exportation from the United States. And there was know conversation last week about the data centers and the chips. But obviously an important element of that is the software and the cloud services, because it is literally not possible to adopt AI unless you have cutting edge cloud services, unless you have cutting edge software. And a lot of that's going to be coming from right here in the United States. There was also a discussion about copyright and the president talked about this during his address. Given that you kind of represent more the software side of the stack. How did you think about that? Karan AI It increasingly comes up in the show as a point of priority, particularly for the frontier model or just model makers generally. It's a big issue. It's an issue here in the United States and in other markets as well. So as you know, in the White House and the action plan that was released last week, there's not a lot of discussion of the copyright issue specifically. But the president in his public remarks, spoke to it quite forcefully in terms of the importance of training data and for the air land builders to be able to get that training data and use it with relative ease. So he was very, very clear on that aspect. And that's something that we are anticipating seeing the White House say more about in the next year or so. But the president was very clear in terms of his opinion on the importance of training data and how important that is for the United States to stay ahead of the air race with respect to China. Briefly, Victoria, today's the day we focus on the EU. Its small thing today in terms of competitiveness. They're worried about 50% tariff. How much should they be worried about their own EU act on competitiveness? So again, I think that the EU has huge potential opportunity to benefit from if it starts focusing on adoption. And part of that is addressing some of the digital sovereignty barriers that the EU has put up. There are aspects of the trade deals. You know, the details of the trade deal are not yet fully public. But Ambassador Grier was talking just this morning about looking at things like mutual recognition of cyber security, of streamlining regulations, of steps that Europe can take. And those steps are important not just for us software providers, but for the EU if they are going to be able to adopt and use AI effectively.

Is ServiceNow Stock Headed for a Significant Rally? What Investors Should Know.
ServiceNow (NOW) continues to deliver impressive growth. The provider of cloud-based solutions for digitizing and managing enterprise workflows is witnessing strong demand for its artificial intelligence (AI) and customer relationship management (CRM) offerings, which is translating into a growing customer base with larger annual contract values (ACVs). Yet, despite these strong fundamentals, ServiceNow stock has underperformed broader market indexes this year and remains in the red. This disconnect presents a buying opportunity. The market appears to be overlooking the company's solid long-term prospects. For instance, its customer growth remains strong, retention rates are high, and current remaining performance obligations (cRPO) — a key metric for future revenue growth — are on the rise. More News from Barchart Warren Buffett Warns Inflation Turns Business Into 'The Upside-Down World of Alice in Wonderland' But Weeds Out 'Bad Businesses' Why GOOGL Stock May Be the Market's Next Big Winner Alphabet Posts Lower Free Cash Flow and FCF Margins - Is GOOGL Stock Overvalued? Markets move fast. Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. ServiceNow: AI Demand to Push Stock Higher Most notably, demand for ServiceNow's AI-powered platform continues to accelerate, reflecting broader enterprise adoption trends in intelligent workflow automation. Moreover, internally, AI efficiencies are helping the company drive margin expansion. The strong demand is translating into solid financial performance. In Q2 2025, its subscription revenue rose 21.5% year-over-year to $3.113 billion, while total RPO grew 25.5% year-over-year to nearly $24 billion. The cRPO reached $10.92 billion, up 21.5% in constant currency. The company also achieved a 98% renewal rate, reflecting the significance of its platform for digital transformation. By the end of Q2, ServiceNow had 528 customers generating over $5 million in ACV, and the number of clients contributing $20 million or more jumped by over 30% year-over-year. The quarter also saw the company close 89 net new ACV deals exceeding $1 million, including 11 deals topping $5 million. Notably, every one of its top 20 deals included five or more products, showcasing growing adoption of multiple products, which will drive average revenue per customer and customer retention. ServiceNow's CRM business is another area that's rapidly gaining traction. The company's acquisition of is already paying off, especially in its Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) capabilities, with nine deals closed in June. The company's AI-driven offerings are performing exceptionally well. Products like IT Asset Management (ITAM) Now Assist have seen net new ACV surge nearly sixfold quarter-over-quarter, with average deal sizes more than tripling. Other modules, such as Security Operations (SecOps) and risk, are also doubling in ACV growth, and flagship tools like IT Service Management (ITSM) Plus, Customer Service Management (CSM) Plus, and HR Service Delivery (HRSD) Plus are posting exceptional year-over-year gains in value. The launch of Agentic Workforce Management and the rapid development of new AI infrastructure, such as AI Control Tower and a no-code Agent Studio, position it well for future growth. These new offerings are already experiencing strong demand and generating solid ACV. Financially, ServiceNow is translating this growth into operational efficiency. Margin expansion is being driven not only by revenue growth, but also by AI-driven cost management. In short, the solid adoption of its platform and strong pipeline positions it well to deliver $15 billion-plus subscription revenue in 2026, with $1 billion in Now Assist ACV. What Analysts Recommend for ServiceNow Stock While the stock hasn't yet caught up to these underlying fundamentals, Wall Street analysts are bullish about its prospects and maintain a 'Strong Buy' consensus rating. This suggests that the current market undervaluation may be temporary, and a strong rally could be on the horizon as AI tailwinds continue to drive both top-line growth and operational efficiency. How High Can ServiceNow Stock Go? ServiceNow is well-positioned to benefit from accelerating demand for its AI platform, strong customer retention, and expanding contract values. Despite recent underperformance in the stock, the company's fundamentals remain solid. With analysts maintaining a positive outlook and the broader AI and enterprise automation trends playing in its favor, ServiceNow appears well-positioned for a significant rally. Analysts have an average price target of $1,114.26, implying about 13% upside potential. Moreover, the highest price target for NOW stock is $1,300, indicating 31% upside potential over the next 12 months.

Cloud Computing Stocks in Vogue: 4 Picks to Swim With the Tide
An updated edition of the June 05, 2025 article. Fueled by widespread adoption, cloud computing has generated a significant buzz across the length and breadth of the business enterprise ecosystem. Driving innovation and digital transformation by capitalizing on virtualization technology, it has enabled users to access and store data over the Internet without managing their physical servers and intricate IT infrastructure. This on-demand access to computing resources as services over the Internet ('the cloud' per se) has facilitated the development of cutting-edge technologies. Moreover, by enabling multiple users to share the same hardware resources by connecting to the cloud platform through a web browser or dedicated applications, cloud computing has created the framework for seamless omnichannel customer engagement at lower costs. As cloud computing gains traction with greater flexibility and scalability, it has emerged as an attractive theme for investors seeking to invest in blue-chip tech firms. This has made cloud computing companies like Microsoft Corporation MSFT, Inc. AMZN, International Business Machines Corporation IBM and Arista Networks Inc.

Cloud computing eliminates fixed capital expenses pertaining to the purchase of related hardware and software. It reduces the operating costs of maintaining onsite data centers and deploying IT experts to manage the infrastructure, making it highly cost-effective. Based on a pay-per-use pricing model, enterprises only pay for the computing resources they use. With easy access to a plethora of innovative technologies, it increases productivity with greater agility and flexibility, and improves scalability with higher economies of scale. Moreover, cloud computing services are delivered over a highly secure network with low latency for applications and data backup facilities for improved reliability. Cloud computing services fall into four broad categories, namely infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), serverless and software as a service (SaaS), offering different levels of control, flexibility and management options to business enterprises. Cloud computing, relying heavily on virtualization and automation technologies, provides the requisite infrastructure for AI (artificial intelligence) and machine learning (ML) workloads. It delivers powerful computing abilities to process and analyze data, creating an ideal platform for Big Data management. Per Grand View Research, the global cloud computing market size is expected to swell to $2,390.2 billion by 2030 from $752.4 billion in 2024 at a CAGR of 20.4% with a variety of capabilities across multiple industries. These include better patient monitoring and outcomes in healthcare, personalized financial management and predictive spending, immersive learning in education, superior inventory management in retail and predictive maintenance and better supply chain management in the manufacturing sector. If you intend to capitalize on this buzzing trend, our Cloud Computing Thematic Screen could make it easy to identify high-potential stocks in this domain at any given time, just like the four mentioned above. By leveraging advanced tools, our thematic screens identify companies shaping the future, making it easier to benefit from emerging trends.
