“Guidewire, the market leader in software for the property and casualty insurance industry, was a top contributor this quarter after being a bottom contributor last quarter. The company continued to deliver on its multiyear profit cycle. Recent results exceeded expectations, supported by continued cloud adoption and growing interest in its AI-enabled offerings. Unlike last quarter, when its shares declined amid broader weakness among software stocks despite posting positive quarterly results, its stock was rewarded for its strong results this period. That said, we used the significant intra-quarter share-price appreciation to pare down our capital campaign while maintaining a CropSM investment.”
