GuideWire Software Inc (GWRE) News

Maybe I'll put these together for the C-suite on an annual basis.

$GWRE revised the offering and increased the target to $600 million. That's a +20% difference. Do these people know what they're doing?

Layoffs. No other info.

Wow! -52% from the 52 week high. Marcus and the BoD chose poorly. What an unmitigated disaster. Maybe we can finally stop promulgating the fantasy that all you need is an MBA. Maybe . . . maybe your executives should have actual experience in the relative business.

GWRE decided they would embrace the Cloud, to the exclusion of actual insurance knowledge. How is that working out? Oh wait. Yeah -52%. The board needs to clean house, starting with the chairman.

CEO is out of his depth. The “Chief Product Manager” is by most accounts clueless about the insurance industry.

What a turd. But I guess this is to be expected with management constantly dumping.

I wonder how high this goes if they really execute on the cloud transformation.

Someone is cashing out.

News: $GWRE EMC Insurance Companies Selects Guidewire Cloud to Accelerate Business Transformation and Growth

Got this from GWRE - EMC Insurance Companies Selects Guidewire Cloud to Accelerate Business Transformation and Growth

jesus - it's total meltdown.

Au. Now I see why the stock was falling so rapidly. Obviously someone leaked news of Ryu's resignation.

But I did pay off the house and all other debt, put two people through college, and am still able to take very nice extended vacations all over the world. Spent 6 weeks in Asia a couple years ago.

I've made a small fortune off this stock. IPO was what? $15-$17. Sigh . . . if I had held everything instead if periodically taking profits I'd be able to retire early. Hindsight indeed.

You missed a nice move in hindsight..not your cup of tea

Interesting. Only 200 robinhoobders

There are a couple of things that bug me about this one.

The P/E is crazy high.
The insiders are dumping.

IPO @ 13. Today trading in high nineties.

$GWRE Guidewire Software (NYSE:GWRE)

2018 EPS Estimate: $0.06
2019 EPS Estimate: $0.33 (+450.0%)
Stock Price: $92.59
P/E Ratio: 231.5
Consensus Rating: Buy
Ratings Breakdown: 7 Buy Ratings, 2 Hold Ratings, 0 Sell Ratings.
Consensus Price Target: $95.00 (2.6% Upside)

As GWRE grows its stand alone SAAS revenues and expands its use and offerings of data base information look for its growing relationship with VRSK to expand. New CFO at VRSK may be willing to seek a larger strategic acquisition with company like GWRE. Premium would have to be 40-50% for GWRE shareholders to accept IMHO

Volatility squeeze watch for the breakout!
