(Reuters) - ServiceNow Inc (NOW.N) soared 29 percent in its New York Stock Exchange stock debut on Friday, as the information technology software company reawakened a market that had cooled in the aftermath of Facebook Inc's (FB.O) initial public offering.
Shares of the San Diego, California-based company opened at $23.28, up $5.28, after pricing at $18, above the expected range. ServiceNow sold 11.65 million shares, raising $209.7 million.
ServiceNow had intended to price shares in a range of $15 to $17. The company sold 9 million shares, while company founder Fred Luddy sold the remaining 2.65 million shares.
In fiscal year 2011, ServiceNow revenue more than doubled to $92.6 million, and it posted a profit of $9.8 million after a loss of $29.7 million in 2010.
ServiceNow's IPO is being underwritten by Morgan Stanley, Citigroup Inc, Deutsche Bank AG, Barclays, Credit Suisse, UBS AG, Pacific Crest Securities and Wells Fargo & Co.
ServiceNow will use the proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
