This ServiceNow Analyst Begins Coverage On A Bullish Note; Here Are Top 5 Initiations For Wednesday

DA Davidson analyst Gil Luria initiates coverage on ServiceNow (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>) with a Buy rating and announces Price Target of $1150.

DA Davidson Initiates Coverage On ServiceNow with Buy Rating, Announces Price Target of $1150

A recent report from Bank of America Securities (BofA) highlights a significant, yet currently underestimated, medium-term surge in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/software" rel="noreferrer noopener">software spending</a> driven by AI agents.
While the market has shown some caution due to an &#8220;underwhelming generative AI adoption or monetization cycle&#8221; so far, BofA believes that &#8220;agentic functionality&#8221; could be the key to unlocking substantial revenue.
BofA&#8217;s &#8220;deep dive&#8221; into agentic AI suggests that spending on this technology could reach a staggering $155 billion by 2030. This estimate is three times higher than most current industry analyst projections.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44523216/microsoft-plans-proprietary-ai-to-power-business-software-and-reduce-openai-dependence-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">Microsoft Plans Proprietary AI To Power Business Software And Reduce OpenAI Dependence: Report</a>
Agentic functionality could be the defining catalyst for AI monetization, as agents can potentially unlock sustainable, measurable, and material workforce productivity improvements, as per BofA.
The analyst leveraged a top-down approach to estimate the potential &#8220;services&#8221; Total Addressable Market (TAM) capture of agentic AI (with services representing human salaries or wages).
BofA estimated global knowledge worker wages across seven major occupation categories (sales, finance, and IT) are $18.6 trillion annually.
The analyst noted it is reasonable to assume that agents will perform 10% of workflows for this cohort of employees by 2030, representing $1.9 trillion in automation-driven value.
Assuming software vendors can capture roughly 8% of this value (representing 12 times customer ROI on agentic spending), this would equate to global agentic AI spending of $155 billion, as per BofA.
The analyst presented surveys summarizing the state of agentic AI adoption, general agentic investment posture, and job functions best suited for agents. Responses indicate that 64% of organizations expect to pursue agentic AI initiatives in 2025, per BofA.
However, the analyst noted that agentic AI initiatives remain in the early stages of deployment, with 53% in the exploration stage, 25% in the pilot stage, and only 6% of organizations in production (as of January 2025).
Unsurprisingly, surveys indicate that customer service, marketing, sales, and software development are likely to be the first significant job functions to adopt agentic technologies, BofA said.
Key AI beneficiaries in BofA coverage included Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) (with the Azure or OpenAI partnership and Microsoft 365 product cycles), Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) (Agentforce), ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>) (Now Assist), Intuit Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTU#NASDAQ">INTU</a>) (Intuit Assist for QuickBooks and TurboTax), HubSpot, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUBS#NYSE">HUBS</a>) (Breeze AI agents), GitLab Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GTLB#NASDAQ">GTLB</a>) (Duo) and OneStream, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OS#NASDAQ">OS</a>) (SensibleAI).
As per the analyst, these firms possess the key ingredients for AI success and monetization, notably large customer datasets, robust data management, or governance capabilities. BofA said these companies also have publicly or in beta agentic AI features or products available today. The analyst expects monetization to begin ramping in calendar 2026.

<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

<h3>A Look at ServiceNow P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
ServiceNow has a better P/E ratio of 136.27 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 92.8 of the Software industry. Ideally, one might believe that ServiceNow Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1749765619_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

The BofA Securities <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/software" rel="noreferrer noopener">software research team</a> hosted 18 public and 10 private companies at the BofA Global Technology Conference in San Francisco on June 3-5.&nbsp;
With an ever-changing macro policy backdrop, the spending environment was the focus of this discussion.&nbsp; AI product cycles were another key topic discussed, with companies citing healthy pilot activity for agentic applications.&nbsp;
Based on discussions, participating software companies endorsed a generally stable environment, although companies remained cognizant of underlying risks.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45755544/rising-ai-analytics-budgets-could-lift-microsoft-snowflake-datadog" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rising AI, Analytics Budgets Could Lift Microsoft, Snowflake, Datadog</a>
Furthermore, the analyst report noted that while product cycles for agentic AI are still in their early stages, they are reportedly gaining traction through initial pilot deals.
Analyst Brad Sills included key takeaways from meetings with participating companies in this report. 
Sills said Microsoft Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) (Buy, price forecast $515) Commercial CFO Mat McBride suggested sustained momentum in the Azure business, led by healthy cloud migration. According to the analyst, Microsoft is rapidly innovating across the enterprise stack.
ServiceNow&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>) (Buy, price forecast $1,085) Chief Customer Officer Chris Bedi highlighted solid execution through a tough macro environment in the tariff-impacted manufacturing vertical and DOGE-impacted Federal vertical. ServiceNow noted sustained momentum across the broad IT, customer, and employee application suites. It is expanding rapidly to multiple departments in the enterprise.
In front office applications, Salesforce&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) (Buy, price forecast $350) COO and CFO, Robin Washington, reiterated pockets of weakness in tariff-impacted verticals like manufacturing and retail, though noting strength elsewhere, Sills said. According to the analyst, Salesforce is driving growth in both core and Agentforce.
The analyst noted that Datadog&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DDOG#NASDAQ">DDOG</a>) (Buy, price forecast $138) CFO, David Obstler, highlighted the company&#8217;s expanding product offering and its long-term growth potential for monitoring cloud workloads, which are increasing in volume and complexity due to AI. The analyst noted that Datadog&#8217;s AI-native cohort is growing quickly, though volatility is inherent in the consumption model.
Sills said Asana (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASAN#NYSE">ASAN</a>) (Buy, price forecast $21) noted slight incremental macro headwinds in April for its enterprise segment. According to the analyst, AI Studio could represent a powerful second-half 2026 catalyst for Asana.
The analyst noted that software firms cited solid leading indicators for agentic application adoption, though these cycles remain nascent.
He said data management vendors such as Microsoft noted added database activity as enterprises prepare for running agentic AI applications.
DevSecOps software vendor JFrog (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FROG#NASDAQ">FROG</a>) (Buy, price forecast $48) discussed how AI-focused code is beginning to show up more this year, Sills said. The analyst pronounced JFrog&#8217;s setup good heading into the second half of 2025.
Application vendors Salesforce and ServiceNow cited healthy pilot activity for agentic applications, Agentforce, and Now Assist, the analyst noted. However, he said revenue targets are limited at this cycle stage.&nbsp;
Microsoft cited hundreds of thousands of customers running Microsoft 365 Copilot, expanding deployments, Sills noted.&nbsp;
He said that OneStream (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OS#NASDAQ">OS</a>) (Buy, price forecast $33) highlighted its attractive AI value proposition and adoption trends in the back office with its SensibleAI Forecast offering. OneStream is an AI-powered back-office disruptor.
The analyst said Asana and Freshworks (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FRSH#NASDAQ">FRSH</a>) (Neutral, price forecast $18) noted healthy demand for AI Studio and Freddy AI. Freshworks&#8217; AI offerings are driving up the list across all growth levers.

Which Software Stocks Is BofA Securities Bullish On?

Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) may be the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVDA/news">undeniable epicenter of the AI Revolution</a>, but the aftershocks of its chip-powered boom are being felt far beyond semiconductors. 
According to Wedbush analyst Dan Ives, &#8220;for every $1 spent on Nvidia, there is an $8-$10 multiplier across the rest of the tech ecosystem.&#8221; Looking at the value chain, this ripple effect is now seemingly reaching software giants like Adobe Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>), Salesforce Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) and ServiceNow Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>).

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Silicon To Software: The AI Domino Effect</h2>
Nvidia has surged nearly 16% over the past year, though the stock has cooled with a 24.7% drop in the past month. Still, the foundational role its chips play in AI infrastructure—especially for hyperscalers like Amazon.com Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) AWS and Alphabet Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) GCP—is creating second-order beneficiaries.
Companies like Adobe, Salesforce and ServiceNow sit squarely in the next wave of value creation, as enterprise clients now shift focus from AI infrastructure buildouts to actual deployment across vertical-specific use cases.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Adobe, with its suite of creative and document tools, has jumped 8.6% over the past month after lagging most of the year. </li>
<li>Salesforce remains down 20.4% YTD, but its AI-powered CRM offerings are increasingly viewed as critical in enterprise automation. </li>
<li>ServiceNow, meanwhile, is up over 3.5% this month and nearly 44% over the past year, as its AI-infused workflow solutions continue gaining traction.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Enterprise Adoption Accelerates In 2025</h2>
Wedbush believes 2025 marks the true inflection point in enterprise AI adoption. Ives notes that "high priority AI use cases have been identified and now being driven/accelerated across a myriad of verticals," positioning software vendors to capitalize as companies move from experimentation to scale.
While Nvidia may be the "Godfather of AI," the broader investment case now hinges on identifying which software players will ride this $2 trillion AI spending wave. For investors, that may mean looking beyond the chip king to the quiet beneficiaries—those turning silicon into scaled solutions.

How Nvidia's $10 Ripple Effect Could Lift Adobe, Salesforce, ServiceNow

Zscaler Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZS#NASDAQ">ZS</a>) shares rallied in early trading on Friday, after the company on Thursday reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45683134/zscaler-beats-q3-earnings-estimates-raises-guidance-increases-investments-in-ai">upbeat results for its fiscal third quarter</a>.
The announcement came amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Piper Sandler On Zscaler</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/590783e6290fa70001409b4a/rob-owens">Analyst </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/590783e6290fa70001409b4a/rob-owens">Rob Owens</a> downgraded the rating from Overweight to Neutral, while raising the price target from $235 to $260.
Zscaler reported solid results for the fiscal third quarter, with billings and revenues surpassing Street expectations, "while new products continue to gain traction," Owens said in the downgrade note. Revenues grew 23% year-on-year to $678 million, coming in above the guidance midpoint by 1.8%, he added.
Calculated billings grew 26% year-on-year to $785 million, beating Street expectations by $25 million, the analyst stated. "However, as we contemplate the recent momentum of the stock and incremental near-term risks in the Red Canary acquisition integration + Fed uncertainty, we believe shares are fairly balanced at current levels," he further wrote.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">RBC Capital Markets On Zscaler</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5880b6f377f9dd00011b0ab2/matthew-hedberg">Analyst Matthew Hedberg</a> maintained an Outperform rating, while lifting the price target from $288 to $304.
Zscaler reported strong quarterly results, "with outperformance across the board against high investor expectations," Hedberg said. The company did not experience any "noticeable impact" from tariffs, he added.
Management raised their full-year guidance across the board, projecting revenue and billings growth of 23% and 21.5%, up from their prior outlook of 22% and 20.5%, respectively, the analyst stated. "Like cyber peers, Zscaler introduced Z-Flex, a new purchasing program to ease procurement and increase module adoption," he further wrote.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Citizens On Zscaler</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/6298be750c34880001d668d9/trevor-walsh">Analyst Trevor Walsh</a> reiterated a Market Outperform rating, while raising the price target from $240 to $310.
Zscaler reported non-GAAP earnings of 84 cents per share, beating consensus of 76 cents per share, Walsh said. The company announced the appointment of Kevin Rubin as chief financial officer, he added.
Zscaler announced plans to acquire managed detection and response (MDR) provider Red Canary to boost its AI-powered security operations center (SOC) capabilities, the analyst wrote. The acquisition is expected to close in August 2025, he added.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">KeyBanc Capital Markets On Zscaler</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/62eacb8a9bab060001dbd41a/eric-heath">Analyst Eric Heath</a> reaffirmed an Overweight rating, while taking the price target higher from $290 to $310.
Zscaler reported a strong beat in the quarter, with ARR (annual recurring revenue) growing 23% year-on-year to around $2.9 billion, Heath said. Billings came in at $785 million, beating consensus of $761 million, he added.
Management's guidance implied billings of $1,140-$1,145M million for the fiscal fourth quarter, representing 25%-26% year-on-year growth, in-line with expectations, the analyst stated. "We see strong momentum in the SASE market, a strengthening portfolio of emerging products to cross-sell, and an experienced GTM leadership team selling to the C-suite," he further wrote.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Truist Securities On Zscaler</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/57fdefd3ac6af40001334e3e/joel-fishbein">Analyst Joel Fishbein</a> maintained a Buy rating, while lifting the price target from $260 to $300.
Zscaler reported a record quarter, with more than $1 billion in in TCV (total contract value) bookings, Fishbein said. The company's strong results were "driven by improving sales productivity and lower attrition," he added.
Zscaler witnessed growing customer demand for the platform, "in particular Zero Trust Everywhere, Data Security Everywhere, and Agentic Operations solutions," the analyst wrote. Management flowed the beat to their full-year outlook, he further stated.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Wedbush On Zscaler</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5e00ad4e3513fb0001f03cfd/daniel-ives">Analyst Daniel Ives</a> maintained an Outperform rating, while raising the price target from $240 to $300.
Zscaler reported a beat across the board, with strong billings due to continued robust demand for its zero trust and AI security solutions, Ives said.
"Management announced on the call that starting in FY26, the company will switch from billings to ARR as the main metric to properly use for ZS going forward," he further wrote.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Cantor Fitzgerald On Zscaler</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58d11d3db85e93000188d7b9/jonathan-ruykhaver">Analyst Jonathan Ruykhaver</a> reiterated an Overweight rating, while raising the price target from $275 to $290.
Zscaler's revenue and cRPO (current remaining performance obligation) bookings grew 23%, "reflecting strong customer demand for the Zero Trust Exchange platform," Ruykhaver said. The company's emerging growth categories, Zero Trust Everywhere, Data Security Everywhere and Agentic Operations, were the key drivers, with combined ARR of around $1 billion, he added.
Customers contributing $1 million in ARR grew 27% year-on-year in the quarter, while those spending over $100,000 grew 18% to 3,363, the analyst further stated.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Needham On Zscaler</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/601a8839a6fe6f00010c6966/mike-cikos">Analyst Mike Cikos</a> reaffirmed a Buy rating, while lifting the price target from $240 to $310.
Zscaler reported "another strong quarter," outperforming billings expectations again, Cikos said. Management raised their full-year billings guidance "by passing through the entirety of the upside in 3QFY25 and nudging 4QFY25 slightly higher," he added.
"We believe the platform expansion and go-to-market changes under Chief Revenue Officer Mike Rich are taking hold as Zscaler looks to emulate the ServiceNow model by driving deeper, more strategic relationships with customers while gaining greater wallet-share," the analyst wrote.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Rosenblatt Securities On Zscaler</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/585aa876b5a482000151d0ed/catharine-trebnick">Analyst Catharine Trebnick</a> reiterated a Buy rating, while raising the price target from $235 to $315.
Zscaler delivered a "standout" performance in the quarter, exceeding expectations on growth and profitability, Trebnick said. Operating margin came in at 21.6%, around 40 basis points (bps) higher than Street expectations, she added.
"The company remains on a path toward its long-term $5B+ ARR target, supported by strategic initiatives like the acquisition of Red Canary and the appointment of a new CFO," the analyst wrote.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Stephens On Zscaler</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/67ebeaa15b91ab00015a8af3/todd-weller%20">Analyst Todd Weller</a> maintained an Overweight rating and price target of $255.
Zscaler's billings beat consensus by 3.2%, while revenue by 1.8%, Weller said.
"Zscaler also announced Kevin Rubin as new CFO. Mr. Rubin was previously CFO of Alteryx, an AI and cloud analytics platform provider that was acquired by Clearlake Capital and Insight Partners in March 2024," the analyst wrote.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Guggenheim Securities On Zscaler</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/587f78d077f9dd000126ef0f/john-difucci">Analyst John DiFucci</a> reaffirmed a Neutral rating on the stock.
Zscaler's results beat consensus estimates across the board and the company raised its full-year guidance, "which is about as good as it gets relative to expectations in the security sector this quarter," DiFucci said.
Growth in new ACV was modestly better than the previous quarter's 1% growth and the third quarter "had the easiest comp of the year," which implies that "business momentum (as measured by a 2-year stack of New ACV growth) modestly deteriorated in F3Q," the analyst wrote.
ZS Price Action: Shares of Zscaler had risen by 8.56% to $272.27 at the time of publication on Friday.

$100 Invested In This Stock 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Rep.

Here's the latest transactions made by the congresswoman in May.
What Happened: Greene ranks 24th among the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42860759/10-best-stock-traders-in-congress-in-2024-where-do-nancy-pelosi-pete-sessions-susan-collins-marjorie-taylor-greene-rank">best-performing members</a> of Congress based on their trades in 2024.

Why It&#8217;s Important: Members of Congress are allowed to buy and sell stocks as long as they properly disclose the transaction.
The process has drawn scrutiny from the public and retail investors as members of Congress could have inside information and time their trades accordingly. Committee assignments in particular, often draw red flags from investors.
Greene serves on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and the House Committee on Homeland Security with several subcommittee appointments. The congresswoman&#8217;s past trade in technology and cybersecurity stocks has drawn attention with her role within Homeland Security.
Greene's past trades of Palantir Technologies and a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44255172/marjorie-taylor-greene-buys-more-bitcoin-etf-shares-ahead-of-trumps-strategic-reserve-executive-order" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;Bitcoin ETF&nbsp;</a>have drawn criticism along with the timing of her trades, as she is a close ally to President&nbsp;Donald Trump.
When asked previously about buying stocks earlier this year that soared days later after Trump announced a pause to tariffs, Greene<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;brushed aside the criticism.</a>
"I think that criticism is laughable. President Trump has been talking about tariffs for decades," Greene told reporters when asked about the trades at a recent town hall event in Georgia in a clip&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/1912456434081480777" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">shared&nbsp;</a>by Unusual Whales. The congresswoman used the opportunity to boast about her stock performance, which ranked her as one of the top trading members of Congress in 2024.
"I don't place my buys and sells,&#8221; Greene said, citing an agreement she has with her portfolio manager, who handles all the buying and selling of stocks. "He did a great job. Guess what he did. He bought the dip. And that's what anybody that has financial sense does.&#8221;
Greene also said her portfolio manager did not have inside information, everything was public and a potential tariff pause wasn't a secret.
Sen.&nbsp;Josh Hawley&nbsp;(R-Mo.) has reintroduced legislation that would ban members of Congress from trading or holding individual stocks.
The bill is known as the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments Act, or PELOSI Act based on the first letter of each of the main words. The name takes aim at the congresswoman and former Speaker of the House&nbsp;Nancy Pelosi&nbsp;(D-Calif.). &nbsp;
"Members of Congress should be fighting for the people they were elected to serve — not day trading at the expense of their constituents," Hawley&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hawley.senate.gov/hawley-reintroduces-pelosi-act-to-ban-congress-from-trading-stocks/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a>. "Americans have seen politician after politician turn a profit using information not available to the general public."
Hawley said the bill will help "restore Americans' trust in our nation's legislative body."
Hawley's bill is being reintroduced as President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;<a href="https://time.com/7280114/donald-trump-2025-interview-transcript/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said&nbsp;</a>he would support such a ban.
"Well, I watched Nancy Pelosi get rich through insider information, and I would be okay with it. If they send it to me, I would do it," Trump told TIME.
Trump said he would sign the ban if the bill passes Congress.
While Pelosi makes headlines for her trades, it's important to remember that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;it is both Republican</a>&nbsp;and Democratic members of Congress who are profiting from buying and selling stocks and options while in office, with some trades coming with questionable timing or having a connection to committees they serve on.
In 2024, a list of the top-performing traders in Congress included six Republicans and four Democrats.
