Guidewire was losing ground Friday despite higher-than-expected 1Q results.
The stock was down 14.5% at $176.60, although shares were still up around 80% for the past year.
The San Mateo, Calif., insurance-platform operator said Friday that it has earned $9.1 million in the fiscal first quarter, or 11 cents per share, swinging from a loss of $27.1 million, or 33 cents per share, in the same quarter a year earlier. Revenue was $262.9 million, up 27% from last year's $207.4 million and edging past the average analyst target of $261.5 million, according to FactSet.
Adjusted earnings came to 43 cents per share, a penny more than Wall Street's estimate for 42 cents per share.
For the current quarter, Guidewire guided for revenue of between $282 million and $288 million, better than the $279.4 million analyst estimate. Annual recurring revenue was pegged at $909 million to $914 million, also surpassing expectations for $906.8 million.
