We just covered the Claude Stock Portfolio: Top 10 Stocks to Buy According to AI Chatbot. ServiceNow (NYSE:NOW) ranks #3 (see Claude Stock Portfolio: Top 5 Stocks to Buy According to AI Chatbot).

Wall Street has been skeptical about ServiceNow (NYSE:NOW) amid concerns that AI disruption could hurt the company’s long-term growth. The bear case argues that AI agents could eventually replace parts of ServiceNow’s software over time. Anthropic’s AI model Claude recently addressed those concerns, saying it assigns a 20% probability to that bear case but remains bullish on the stock.

Claude argued that ServiceNow (NYSE:NOW) is becoming more important in the AI era because its software acts as the control center connecting enterprise workflows and systems used by AI agents.
