2 Technology Shares That Might Secure Your Financial Future

Technology Stocks and the Impact of Artificial Intelligence

In recent years, technology shares have delivered impressive gains, largely fueled by advancements in artificial intelligence. However, in 2026, investor enthusiasm for this sector waned as worries mounted that AI could threaten the viability of many software firms.

This shift in sentiment led to a significant sell-off in software-as-a-service (SaaS) stocks, causing notable declines in the share prices of several established companies. For those focused on long-term growth, these price drops presented a chance to purchase shares at more favorable valuations.

Among the SaaS companies worth considering are ServiceNow (NOW, down 3.06%) and Workiva (WK, down 2.80%). Both were affected by the AI-driven sell-off, but once market concerns ease, these stocks may offer substantial upside. Let’s explore what makes these businesses stand out.

ServiceNow: Resilience Amid Market Turbulence

ServiceNow’s stock dropped by more than 30% between the start of 2026 and April 1, reflecting Wall Street’s retreat from software companies. Despite this, ServiceNow continues to deliver impressive results.

Demand for its workflow solutions remains robust. By the end of Q4 2025, ServiceNow achieved nearly 40% year-over-year growth in net new annual contract values exceeding $1 million. Quarterly revenue climbed 21% compared to the previous year, reaching $3.6 billion.

• Market Cap: $102 billion
• Day's Range: $96.96 – $105.58
• 52-Week Range: $96.96 – $211.48
• Volume: 20 million
• Average Volume: 19 million
• Gross Margin: 77.53%
• Current Price: $97.47
• Today's Change: -3.06% ($-3.08)

ServiceNow has incorporated AI agents into its platform, which has been met with strong customer adoption. For example, the Now Assist AI product saw its net new annual contract value double year-over-year in Q4.

These results indicate that ServiceNow’s customer base remains loyal, and fears about AI disrupting its business appear exaggerated.

Workiva: Navigating AI Fears with Steady Growth

Workiva offers a platform that helps organizations meet regulatory compliance requirements. Its stock price fell 30% this year through April 1, as AI concerns swept through the market. Nevertheless, Workiva’s operations remain solid.

In Q4 2025, Workiva’s revenue increased 20% year-over-year to $238.9 million. This strong performance enabled the company to report net income of $11.8 million, a turnaround from a net loss of $8.8 million in the prior year.

Looking ahead, Workiva expects Q1 revenue to reach between $244 million and $246 million, representing a healthy rise from last year’s $206 million.

• Market Cap: $3.3 billion
• Day's Range: $56.91 – $60.13
• 52-Week Range: $56.06 – $97.09
• Volume: 888,000
• Average Volume: 935,000
• Gross Margin: 78.47%
• Current Price: $57.20
• Today's Change: -2.80% ($-1.65)

Workiva’s services are essential for regulatory compliance, making it less susceptible to replacement by AI. CEO Julie Iskow emphasized, “We operate in an environment where data must be reliable, traceable, defensible, and ready for audit.”

Why Workiva and ServiceNow Are Attractive Investments Right Now

With both stocks trading lower, their valuations have become more appealing. The forward price-to-earnings ratio, which reflects how much investors are willing to pay for expected earnings over the next year, indicates that these companies are currently undervalued.

The chart above shows that Workiva and ServiceNow’s forward earnings multiples are near their lowest levels in the past year. ServiceNow previously reached a 52-week high of $211.48, while Workiva peaked at $97.10. If these stocks recover to those levels, investors could see significant gains.

Given their ongoing sales growth and attractive pricing, now is an opportune moment to consider investing in both ServiceNow and Workiva.
