ServiceNow meanwhile continues to deliver strong results and build its AI arsenal with plenty of acquisitions.

Many analysts believe that this is a generational buying opportunity into this stock, and enterprise gentrification is going to happen primarily through big vendors like ServiceNow. I am an investor in the company and share this point of view. The key concern is pricing. How would gentrification change the industry’s pricing model?
