On September 21, 2026, Guidewire Software Inc GWRE shares rose 3.5% to a current price of $149.38. Despite today's positive movement, GWRE has faced significant downward pressure recently, with a 52-week range between $102.30 and $255.89.

GF Value™ verdict: Current price is $149.38 vs GF Value of $215.86, indicating a 30.8% undervaluation.GF Score™ of 76/100 signifies above-average performance across multiple metrics.Notable signal: Insiders have sold $26.1M worth of stock over the past 12 months with no buying activity.Is GWRE Overvalued or Undervalued?Guidewire Software Inc GWRE appears significantly undervalued based on its current market price of $149.38 compared to the GF Value™ of $215.86, suggesting a margin of safety of 30.8%. The GF Value™ represents GuruFocus' proprietary estimate of intrinsic value, calculated using historical trading multiples, previous business growth, and future performance expectations. This valuation indicates that there is a substantial opportunity for shareholders as the stock is trading well below its estimated fair value.

However, it is essential to recognize that the market's negative sentiment could be attributed to various factors, including the recent trend of insider selling amounting to $26.1 million. This pattern indicates a lack of confidence from those closest to the company, which may overshadow the potential upside suggested by the undervaluation. Additionally, the stock's recent performance has seen it decline by 39% over the past year, raising concerns about its momentum and overall market perception.

How Does GWRE's Valuation Compare to Its History?MetricCurrentHistoricalP/E (TTM)91.7x205.7xForward P/E34.6xN/AThe current P/E ratio of 91.7x is significantly below its 5-year median of 205.7x, which suggests that GWRE is trading at a lower valuation relative to its historical performance. This analysis aligns with the GF Value™ assessment of being undervalued, reinforcing the notion that the stock presents a favorable opportunity for potential investors. The forward P/E of 34.6x further indicates that there may be expectations of earnings growth that are not currently reflected in the stock price.

What Does GWRE's GF Score™ Tell Us?The GF Score™ is a comprehensive measure that evaluates a company's performance based on financial strength, profitability, growth potential, valuation, and momentum. With a score of 76/100, GWRE is positioned above average, reflecting its solid fundamentals and growth prospects. The strongest sub-rank is in growth with a score of 8/10, while the weakest is in valuation with a score of 4/10.

MetricRatingGF Score™76/100Financial Strength7/10Profitability5/10Growth8/10Valuation4/10Momentum5/10The combination of scores shows that while Guidewire has robust growth potential, its valuation metrics signal caution. A score of 4/10 in valuation suggests that despite the growth opportunities, the stock might not be the best choice for value-oriented investors at this moment.

What Are Gurus and Insiders Doing with GWRE?Currently, four gurus hold positions in GWRE, with two adding to their stakes and three trimming their holdings in recent quarters. This activity provides a mixed signal; while some gurus see value in the stock, others are reducing their exposure, possibly due to concerns regarding its recent performance and market conditions.

In terms of insider activity, the sale of $26.1 million worth of stock over the past year, with no buying activity, may indicate a lack of confidence among executives about the company’s future performance. This pattern of insider selling could be a red flag for potential investors, as it suggests insiders may not believe the stock is currently undervalued, despite what the GF Value™ indicates.

What This Means for InvestorsGiven the current analysis, Guidewire Software Inc GWRE appears significantly undervalued based on the GF Value™ assessment. However, the patterns of insider selling and mixed guru activity warrant a cautious approach. While there might be potential upside based on current valuations, the lack of insider confidence and recent performance trends should be carefully considered before making investment decisions.

It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors. Luckily, Zacks Premium offers several different ways to do both.

The research service features daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, all of which will help you become a smarter, more confident investor.

Zacks Premium also includes the Zacks Style Scores.

What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores, developed alongside the Zacks Rank, are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing methodologies; they also help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.

Based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics, each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F. The better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform; an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on.

The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:

Value ScoreFinding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value, are what value investors like to focus on. So, the Value Style Score takes into account ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to highlight the most attractive and discounted stocks.

Growth ScoreGrowth investors are more concerned with a stock's future prospects, and the overall financial health and strength of a company. Thus, the Growth Style Score analyzes characteristics like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will see sustainable growth over time.

Momentum ScoreMomentum traders and investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." This investing style is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Employing factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, the Momentum Style Score can indicate favorable times to build a position in high-momentum stocks.

VGM ScoreIf you want a combination of all three Style Scores, then the VGM Score will be your friend. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, helping you find the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum. It's also one of the best indicators to use with the Zacks Rank.

How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank A proprietary stock-rating model, the Zacks Rank utilizes the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings outlook, to help investors create a successful portfolio.

#1 (Strong Buy) stocks have produced an unmatched +23.8% average annual return since 1988, which is more than double the S&P 500's performance over the same time frame. However, the Zacks Rank examines a ton of stocks, and there can be more than 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, and another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.

But it can feel overwhelming to pick the right stocks for you and your investing goals with over 800 top-rated stocks to choose from.

That's where the Style Scores come in.

To have the best chance of big returns, you'll want to always consider stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B, which will give you the highest probability of success. If you're looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, it's important they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.

As mentioned above, the Scores are designed to work with the Zacks Rank, so any change to a company's earnings outlook should be a deciding factor when picking which stocks to buy.

For instance, a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one that boasts Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings forecast, and a much greater likelihood its share price will decline as well.

Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

Have you evaluated the performance of Guidewire Software's (GWRE - Free Report) international operations during the quarter that concluded in July 2026? Considering the extensive worldwide presence of this provider of software to the insurance industry, analyzing the patterns in international revenues is crucial for understanding its financial resilience and potential for growth.

In the current era of a tightly interconnected global economy, the proficiency of a company to penetrate international markets significantly influences its financial health and trajectory of growth. For investors, the key is to grasp how reliant a company is on overseas markets, as this provides insights into the durability of its earnings, its ability to exploit different economic cycles, and its overall growth capabilities.

Participation in global economies acts as a defense against economic difficulties at home and a pathway to more rapidly developing economies. However, it also comes with the complexities of dealing with fluctuating currencies, geopolitical risks and different market dynamics.

Our review of GWRE's last quarterly performance uncovered some notable trends in the revenue contributions from its international markets, which are commonly analyzed and tracked by Wall Street experts.

The company's total revenue for the quarter stood at $411.09 million, increasing 15.3% year over year. Now, let's delve into GWRE's international revenue breakdown to gain insights into the significance of its operations beyond home turf.

A Closer Look at GWRE's Revenue Streams AbroadOther Americas generated $7.12 million in revenues for the company in the last quarter, constituting 1.7% of the total. This represented a surprise of +43.47% compared to the $4.96 million projected by Wall Street analysts. Comparatively, in the previous quarter, Other Americas accounted for $4.82 million (1.3%), and in the year-ago quarter, it contributed $4.48 million (1.3%) to the total revenue.

Canada accounted for 11.6% of the company's total revenue during the quarter, translating to $47.63 million. Revenues from this region represented a surprise of +1.19%, with Wall Street analysts collectively expecting $47.07 million. When compared to the preceding quarter and the same quarter in the previous year, Canada contributed $40.19 million (10.8%) and $38.77 million (10.9%) to the total revenue, respectively.

Of the total revenue, $33.56 million came from Total APAC during the last fiscal quarter, accounting for 8.2%. This represented a surprise of +11.9% as analysts had expected the region to contribute $29.99 million to the total revenue. In comparison, the region contributed $32.46 million, or 8.7%, and $39.74 million, or 11.2%, to total revenue in the previous and year-ago quarters, respectively.

During the quarter, Total EMEA contributed $68.41 million in revenue, making up 16.6% of the total revenue. When compared to the consensus estimate of $61.42 million, this meant a surprise of +11.38%. Looking back, Total EMEA contributed $52.79 million, or 14.2%, in the previous quarter, and $77.42 million, or 21.7%, in the same quarter of the previous year.

International Revenue PredictionsFor the current fiscal quarter, it is anticipated by Wall Street analysts that Guidewire Software will post revenues of $376.21 million, which reflects an increase of 13.1% the same quarter in the previous year. The revenue contributions are expected to be 1.3% from Other Americas ($5.02 million), 12.5% from Canada ($46.96 million)7.4% from Total APAC ($27.89 million) and 14.6% from Total EMEA ($55.05 million).

For the full year, the company is expected to generate $1.72 billion in total revenue, up 16.5% from the previous year. Revenues from Other Americas, Canada, Total APAC and Total EMEA are expected to constitute 1.3% ($21.56 million), 11.6% ($198.56 million)7.2% ($124.26 million) and 14.2% ($243.31 million) of the total, respectively.

The Bottom LineRelying on global markets for revenues presents both prospects and challenges for Guidewire Software. Therefore, scrutinizing its international revenue trends is key to effectively forecasting the company's future outlook.

In an era of growing international ties and escalating geopolitical disputes, financial analysts on Wall Street pay keen attention to these developments to fine-tune their earnings estimations for businesses operating across borders. It's important to note, however, that a range of additional variables, like a company's local market status, also play a crucial role in shaping these forecasts.

At Zacks, we place significant importance on a company's evolving earnings outlook. This is based on empirical evidence demonstrating its strong influence on a stock's short-term price movements. Invariably, there exists a positive relationship -- an upward revision in earnings estimates is typically mirrored by a rise in the stock price.

The Zacks Rank, our proprietary stock rating mechanism, demonstrates a notable performance history confirmed through external audits. It effectively utilizes the power of earnings estimate revisions to act as a predictor of a stock's price performance in the near term.

At present, Guidewire Software holds a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). This ranking implies that its near-term performance might mirror the overall market movement. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> .

Assessing Guidewire Software's Stock Price Movement in Recent TimesOver the past month, the stock has seen a decline of 19.8% in its value, whereas the Zacks S&P 500 composite has posted a decrease of 0.8%. The Zacks Computer and Technology sector, Guidewire Software's industry group, has ascended 1.5% over the identical span. In the past three months, there's been an increase of 30.7% in the company's stock price, against a rise of 3.9% in the S&P 500 index. The broader sector has increased by 2.2% during this interval.

Guidewire Software, Inc. (NYSE:GWRE) had one of the ugliest earnings reactions in software this quarter. The Guidewire stock drop reached as much as 20.8% during the day on Friday, September 5, 2026. Shares hit a low of $157.05 and later settled in the $160-$166 range.

That’s well below Thursday’s closing price of $202.86. As a result, the sell-off wiped out more than $2 billion in market value in a single session.

Yet the company topped Street estimates on both revenue and profit. Instead, investors zeroed in on a soft first-quarter guide. They also spotted early signs that the ARR growth story is cooling. This Guidewire stock drop fits a pattern seen across software earnings this season.

The Numbers Behind The Guidewire Stock DropGuidewire’s fiscal Q4 2026 results were announced on Thursday evening. Overall, they cleared the bar comfortably:

Adjusted EPS of $0.99 vs. the $0.93 consensusRevenue of $411.1 million vs. ~$402.7 million estimate, up 23% year-over-yearARR of $1.242 billion, up 19% year-over-year and above guidanceCloud ARR up 35% year-over-year, now 84% of total ARROperating income of $340 million, up 63% year-over-yearGross ARR attrition below 1.5% company-wideCEO Mike Rosenbaum made an optimistic statement and said that the transition to cloud technologies is proceeding in accordance with expectations. In particular, he noted an increase in margins and cash flow. He also mentioned PricingCenter’s new deal with Nationwide.

So Why Did The Guidewire Stock Drop Happen?The last quarter looked great on paper but investors were already thinking ahead to what comes next for Guidewire, and that’s where we have the worry.

Light Q1 FY27 revenue guide: According to Guidewire’s forecast, revenue in Q1 2027 amounted to 372-378 million dollars. This is ~3.3% lower than analysts’ forecasts. Consequently, this led to an immediate decrease in sales after business hours. ARR growth is decelerating: Full-year FY27 ARR guidance implies growth of ~18%. That’s down from 19% in FY26. According to management, part of this reflects normalizing attrition rates. License revenue headwind: Guidewire flagged a $46 million license revenue decline for FY27. This shows the ongoing shift toward subscription-based cloud contracts. Valuation And Macro PressureTwo more factors made things even worse:

Valuation left no room for error and heading into earnings, GWRE traded above a 120x trailing P/E. Therefore, a "beat and maintain" quarter wasn’t enough as Wall Street wanted "beat and raise". Macro crosswinds added pressure and a strong U.S. jobs report reignited debate over Fed rate policy. This weighed on high-multiple software names broadly, so there was no market cushion left for GWRE’s stumble. Wall Street’s Reaction Was Mixed, Not BearishNotably, analysts didn’t abandon the stock. and most kept bullish ratings. Still, they changed price targets to reflect the reset:

Oppenheimer kept "Outperform" and raised its target to $210 DA Davidson reiterated "Buy" with a $222 target Baird kept "Outperform" with a $235 target Goldman Sachs held "Buy" while cutting its target from $255 to $225 Overall, the Street consensus is a "Moderate Buy." In fact, average targets still imply solid upside from Friday’s price.
So what’s the takeaway? The deceleration looks real, but modest. Meanwhile, over half of next year’s net-new ARR is already under contract and also, record-low attrition suggests the core franchise stays durable.

The Bigger PictureGWRE now trades over 40% below its 52-week high of $272.60. Still, it remains well above its 52-week low of $102.30. The stock has logged nearly 40 moves greater than 5% this past year. Even so, Friday’s drop stands out. Ultimately, this Guidewire stock drop shows that “very good” guidance isn’t good enough for a stock priced for perfection. So is this a healthy reset? Or is it the first crack in an overheated growth story? That’s the question investors now face.

Guidewire Software (NYSE:GWRE) closed fiscal 2026 with annual recurring revenue, or ARR, above its guidance range, supported by cloud migrations, low customer attrition and demand for newer artificial intelligence and pricing products.

Chief Executive Officer Mike Rosenbaum said ARR ended the fiscal year at $1.242 billion, up 19% year over year on a constant-currency basis. After a $5 million foreign-exchange adjustment at year-end, ARR was $1.237 billion, Chief Financial Officer Jeff Cooper said. Fully ramped ARR, which reflects the annualized value of customer contracts once fully deployed, rose 22% on a constant-currency basis.

The company reported 26 core deals in the fourth quarter and 62 for the full fiscal year, covering PolicyCenter, ClaimCenter, BillingCenter or InsuranceNow. Guidewire’s cloud ARR grew 35% year over year and represented 84% of total ARR, Cooper said. Nationwide migration and product expansion A key fourth-quarter agreement came from Nationwide, which signed a multiyear deal to move its full InsuranceSuite estate to Guidewire Cloud Platform. Nationwide also selected PricingCenter for personal-lines pricing and rating, becoming Guidewire’s first U.S. tier-one PricingCenter customer, according to the company.

Rosenbaum said the Nationwide relationship, which spans more than a decade, validates Guidewire’s ability to support large insurers in the cloud. He added that the PricingCenter deployment is expected to test the product’s capability and scale for other tier-one insurers.

Guidewire closed eight PricingCenter deals during the fourth quarter and 12 for the full year. Other customers selecting or expanding PricingCenter included Capital Insurance Group, Shelter Insurance and Achmea Farm Insurance in Australia. A longstanding customer in Finland became the company’s first existing InsuranceSuite customer in Europe to adopt the product.

President John Mullen said the pricing market is fragmented, with insurers generally using multiple established rating and pricing tools rather than internally developed systems. He said PricingCenter’s integration with PolicyCenter, Advanced Product Designer and Guidewire’s data platform is intended to help insurers make pricing changes more quickly and accurately.

AI products gain commercial traction Guidewire also highlighted early demand for ProNavigator, an AI-driven assistance product embedded in ClaimCenter and PolicyCenter workflows. The company recorded 14 ProNavigator wins in the fourth quarter and 28 for the full year.

Customers adopting ProNavigator included MAPFRE US, Definity, Alfa Insurance and Hollard in Australia. Mullen said customers are using the product for insurance-domain AI capabilities, claims and adjuster experiences, and as an alternative to internally developed tools.

Rosenbaum said ProNavigator’s early momentum was primarily from cross-selling into Guidewire’s installed base. Over time, he said, the product could differentiate Guidewire’s core systems in new customer opportunities, rather than necessarily serving as a standalone entry point.

The company also said developer assistants are now available to customers and partners, while its Qusar release introduced an agentic platform designed to let insurers build AI agents tailored to their existing Guidewire implementations and workflows. Management emphasized that Guidewire intends to support open architectures and integrations with third-party AI systems, while positioning its core platform as a source of structured insurance data and operational context.

Fiscal 2026 revenue, profits and cash flow For fiscal 2026, Guidewire reported total revenue of $1.475 billion, up 23% year over year. Subscription revenue rose 37% to $916 million, while subscription and support revenue increased 33% to $971 million. License revenue declined 7% to $235 million as customers continued transitioning from term licenses to cloud subscriptions. Services revenue increased 23% to $270 million.

Non-GAAP gross profit rose 25% to $990 million, with an overall gross margin of 67%. Subscription and support gross margin expanded four percentage points to 74.5%. Non-GAAP operating income increased 63% to $340 million. Operating cash flow grew 30% to $390 million. Guidewire ended the period with $1.2 billion in cash equivalents and investments. The company repurchased $606 million of stock during fiscal 2026, representing 4.1 million shares at an average price of $148.41 per share. Rosenbaum also pointed to gross ARR attrition of less than 1.5% across all ARR and less than 1% among core-systems customers.

Cooper said Guidewire had 105 customers with fully ramped ARR above $5 million at fiscal year-end, compared with 86 at the end of fiscal 2025.

Fiscal 2027 outlook For fiscal 2027, Guidewire forecast ARR of $1.45 billion to $1.46 billion, representing 18% constant-currency growth at the midpoint. More than half of the net new ARR included in the outlook is already under contract with defined ramp dates, Cooper said.

The company expects total revenue of $1.707 billion to $1.727 billion, including subscription and support revenue of $1.240 billion to $1.246 billion. Guidewire expects license revenue of about $189 million and services revenue of about $285 million.

Guidewire forecast non-GAAP operating income of $403 million to $423 million, GAAP operating income of $197 million to $217 million, and operating cash flow of $445 million to $465 million. It expects subscription and support gross margin of 75% to 76% and total gross margin of 67% to 68%.

For the first quarter, the company projected ARR of $1.253 billion to $1.259 billion and subscription and support revenue of $279 million to $283 million. Cooper said first-quarter subscription and support margin should be about 77%, aided by roughly $4 million in cloud-infrastructure-provider credits, while services margin is expected to be around break-even due in part to the timing of fixed-fee services engagements.

Cooper also said Chief Accounting Officer David Pedersen plans to retire in early November.

The market expects Guidewire Software (GWRE - Free Report) to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended July 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook is important in assessing the company's earnings picture, but a powerful factor that might influence its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on September 3. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis provider of software to the insurance industry is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.94 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +11.9%.

Revenues are expected to be $402.23 million, up 12.8% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.39% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction).

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Guidewire Software?For Guidewire Software, the Most Accurate Estimate is lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bearish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -1.98%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.

So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Guidewire Software will beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Guidewire Software would post earnings of $0.79 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.82, delivering a surprise of +3.80%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates three times.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Guidewire Software doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Qusar includes Guidewire-built claims and underwriting agents, plus Developer Assistants that help developers ship features more than 40% faster than with generic coding assistants

, /PRNewswire/ -- Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE) today launched the Agentic Framework in its new Qusar release, enabling insurers to build, deploy, and manage AI agents on Guidewire Cloud Platform. The framework delivers value grounded in Guidewire's deep insurance context across the functions that matter most to the business throughout the insurance lifecycle. Paired with new capabilities across Guidewire's application portfolio, the Agentic Framework empowers carriers to protect indemnity margins, and elevate underwriting decisions, giving them the operational speed and precision to compete with confidence.

Qusar introduces the Agentic Framework, along with Guidewire-built Claims and Underwriting Agents and Developer Assistants purpose-built for Guidewire developers. The Agentic Framework enables insurance carriers to choose the right AI model for each task and provides AI agents with secure, real-time access to policy, claims, and billing data and workflows. This allows complex, multi-step processes to run automatically, so decisions that once took days can happen in minutes.

"Insurers are increasingly recognizing that AI value comes from deep integration with core business processes, not from isolated experimentation," said Karlyn Carnahan, Executive Partner, Celent. "Agentic Framework addresses this directly by letting insurers deploy AI within their existing systems and workflows while maintaining operational control and compliance."

Qusar also introduces Guidewire-developed agents designed for specific insurance workflows.

Claim Summarization for ProNavigator**: Provides adjusters claim summaries, allowing them to focus on complex resolutions instead of manual note review Policy Change for ProNavigator*: Serves as an embedded assistant that helps underwriters and customer service representatives complete policy changes faster, leading to quicker turnaround and improved quote-to-bind ratios Agentic First Notice of Loss (FNOL)**: Guides claimants through the first notice of loss using conversational AI voice, capturing key claim details to improve the customer experience "Guidewire AI innovations are helping us transform how we support our teams and serve our members," said Garrett Anderson, Chief Information Officer, Automobile Club of Southern California. "By using AI to summarize claims and streamline key insurance workflows, we're improving efficiency, helping our adjusters focus on higher-value work, and creating a stronger foundation for future innovation."

Qusar also introduces Guidewire Developer and Builder Assistants that understand the Guidewire code base, programming languages, design patterns, and configurations. For application development, Developer Assistants streamline work across Gosu (Java-compatible Guidewire programming language), Integrations, Jutro (Guidewire digital platform), and Functions (serverless extensions)*. For data and product work, Data Curation Assistant for Data Studio* converts plain language into precise SQL, while Product Design Assistant for Advanced Product Designer (APD)* helps automate insurance product configuration.

"By building the Agentic Framework directly into Guidewire Cloud Platform, we are giving developers and AI builders the tools to engineer and safely deploy insurance-aware AI agents into their daily operations," said Diego Devalle, Chief Product Development Officer, Guidewire. "Additionally, Developer Assistants help teams deliver solutions more than 40% faster than generic coding assistants*** by combining AI capabilities with the deep contextual knowledge embodied in our platform. Our customers and partners are already seeing the tangible benefits, using these tools to quickly build and deploy AI agents that support both developers and business users."
