Description: GWRE Guidewire Software December 19, 2025
Guidewire Software, Inc. (NYSE:GWRE) delivers a comprehensive, cloud-first platform that supports property-and-casualty (P&C) insurers across the policy-to-claims lifecycle, including core applications such as PolicyCenter, ClaimCenter, and BillingCenter, as well as the newer InsuranceNow SaaS suite.
Beyond the core suite, Guidewire’s product portfolio expands into pricing (Rating Management), reinsurance (Reinsurance Management), customer data (Client Data Management), product design (Advanced Product Designer), and a range of digital-engagement and analytics tools-including Predict (machine-learning), HazardHub (property-risk data), Cyence (cyber-risk modeling), DataHub (operational data store), and InfoCenter (business-intelligence warehouse).
Key operating metrics show the company’s momentum: FY 2023 revenue reached approximately $1.86 billion, with subscription-based ARR growing ~20 % YoY and gross margins consistently above 80 %. The P&C sector is being reshaped by accelerated digital transformation, heightened climate-risk exposure, and tighter regulatory reporting, all of which drive demand for integrated, data-rich platforms like Guidewire’s.
For a deeper, data-driven valuation of GWRE, the ValueRay platform offers granular financial metrics and scenario analysis.
