Movement Alert|Guidewire Falls 5.03% in Regular Trading, Continued Sell-Off as Q1 Guidance Disappoints Despite Strong Q4 Beat

Market Focus
Sep 08

On September 8, Guidewire fell 5.03% in regular trading, trading at $154.32/share, with turnover of $35.85 million. The decline extends the prior session's roughly 20% plunge following the company's fiscal Q4 earnings release.

On the news front, Guidewire reported Q4 revenue of $411.1 million, up 15.3% year-over-year, beating the consensus estimate of $402.6 million. Adjusted EPS came in at $0.99, surpassing the $0.93 analyst expectation. However, the company issued fiscal Q1 revenue guidance of $372 million to $378 million, significantly below the $387.1 million analyst estimate, which became the core trigger for the sell-off. Full-year FY2027 revenue guidance of $1.707 billion to $1.727 billion slightly exceeded the $1.70 billion consensus but failed to offset near-term concerns. RBC Capital Markets noted that the FY2027 outlook disappointed amid elevated expectations following the strong Q4. Oppenheimer indicated management is approaching the outlook prudently and sees potential for estimates to trend higher, though Citigroup maintained a Neutral rating while raising its price target to $181.
