On June 5, Guidewire Software fell 13.34% in pre-market trading to $131.0 per share, with trading volume of $40,000. The decline followed the company's fiscal third-quarter earnings release after the prior session's close.
Guidewire reported adjusted EPS of $0.82, exceeding the consensus estimate of $0.74, while revenue came in at $372.5 million, surpassing the expected $355.95 million. Despite the double beat, the company's full-year annual recurring revenue guidance midpoint fell slightly below Wall Street expectations, triggering investor concern over the key growth metric. Third-quarter ARR grew 19% year-over-year to $1.147 billion.
The selloff was compounded by a classic buy-the-rumor-sell-the-news dynamic, as the stock had accumulated gains exceeding 22% in the week leading up to the earnings release, intensifying profit-taking pressure following the report. While the company raised its full-year revenue outlook, the ARR shortfall dominated sentiment given its importance as a forward-looking indicator of subscription momentum.
