On October 1, Guidewire rose 5.37% in regular trading, trading at approximately $150.15 per share, with turnover of $9.644 million. The rally was driven by the disclosure of a new multi-year contract with a leading US-based personal lines insurance carrier.

According to a regulatory filing, Guidewire has entered into a multi-year agreement to onboard the insurer onto Guidewire Cloud and its PolicyCenter platform. Notably, the client ranks among the company's top 10 by fully ramped annual recurring revenue, underscoring the strategic significance of the deal. The company stated that the agreement does not modify its quarterly or full-year guidance.

The contract adds to a string of positive developments for the cloud platform provider. In its most recent fiscal Q4, Guidewire reported adjusted EPS of $0.99, beating the $0.94 consensus estimate by over 5%, while revenue of $411.1 million also exceeded expectations. Fiscal 2027 revenue guidance of $1.71 billion to $1.73 billion came in above consensus. Additionally, the August launch of its Qusar release introduced AI agent capabilities for claims and underwriting, reinforcing the company's AI-driven growth narrative. Analyst consensus maintains a buy rating with a mean price target of $201.08.
