Why Is Guidewire (GWRE) Stock Rocketing Higher Today
Shares of insurance industry-focused software maker Guidewire (NYSE:GWRE) jumped 16.2% in the afternoon session after the company reported impressive first-quarter 2025 (Fiscal Q3 '25) results, which blew past most of the key metrics we track including billings, annual recurring revenue, EPS, and adjusted operating income. In addition, quarterly revenue guidance outperformed Wall Street's estimates. What really stood out was subscription revenue, which rose 32%, showing that more customers are signing up and sticking around. That helped push sales up by 22%, a strong pace for a company this size. Margins also got a lift. With expenses held in check, operating income more than doubled on a non-GAAP basis. That efficiency boost powered a big jump in earnings per share, which more than tripled year-over-year. Management also raised revenue and operating income targets for the year, and guided to stronger-than-expected results in the fourth quarter. Overall, we think this was a solid quarter with some key areas of upside. Is now the time to buy Guidewire? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Guidewire's shares are not very volatile and have only had 9 moves greater than 5% over the last year. Moves this big are rare for Guidewire and indicate this news significantly impacted the market's perception of the business. The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 12 months ago when the stock gained 16.3% on the news that the company announced a "beat and raise" quarter. Guidewire beat analysts' revenue, billings, and ARR (annual recurring revenue) expectations. Its full-year ARR guidance also beat Wall Street's estimates. One negative was that its gross margin decreased, but it didn't matter much in the face of a "beat-and-raise" quarter. Zooming out, we think this was a solid quarter, showing the company is staying on track. Guidewire is up 49.9% since the beginning of the year, and at $254.11 per share, has set a new 52-week high. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Guidewire's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $2,408. Today's young investors likely haven't read the timeless lessons in Gorilla Game: Picking Winners In High Technology because it was written more than 20 years ago when Microsoft and Apple were first establishing their supremacy. But if we apply the same principles, then enterprise software stocks leveraging their own generative AI capabilities may well be the Gorillas of the future. So, in that spirit, we are excited to present our Special Free Report on a profitable, fast-growing enterprise software stock that is already riding the automation wave and looking to catch the generative AI next.

Doritos and Skittles could carry ‘not recommended for human consumption' warning labels in certain parts of the US
Some of America's favorite snacks may be banned in certain parts of the U.S. if the packaging does not warn about certain ingredients. New legislation in Texas would warn consumers in the state about ingredients that are 'not recommended for human consumption' in other countries, but still allowed in the U.S., Bloomberg reported. More than 40 ingredients, from synthetic food dyes to bleached flour, would require warning labels on the products' packaging starting in 2027, if the bill is signed into law. The legislation would affect snacks and candies such as Nacho Cheese Doritos, Little Bites Chocolate Chip Muffins, Skittles, M&Ms and Sour Patch Kids Watermelon, as well as breakfast cereals and sodas such as Froot Loops, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Mountain Dew. If the bill is signed by Governor Greg Abbott, it would affect snacks sold statewide. This could also open the door for a nationwide switch-up. Bloomberg reported that companies forced to comply with state regulations often chose to roll out changes across the whole country to streamline production. Abbott has less than 20 days to sign the bill, and it's unclear whether he will. His press secretary, Andrew Mahaleris, told Bloomberg before the bill was sent to the governor: 'Abbott will continue to work with the legislature to ensure Texans have access to healthy foods to care for themselves and their families and will thoughtfully review any legislation they send to his desk.' If the bill is signed into law, there are instances when the state-mandated labeling won't be required: if the Food and Drug Administration or Department of Agriculture deems an ingredient safe, restricts its use or bans it after September 1. Industry groups and companies, including food and drink makers and retail giant Walmart, had sent a letter to Texas lawmakers 'in strong opposition' to the bill. 'As it's written, the food labeling provision in this bill casts an incredibly wide net — triggering warning labels on everyday grocery items based on assertions that foreign governments have banned such items, rather than on standards established by Texas regulators or by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration,' read the letter, which had circulated on social media. The letter warned that this potential change 'could destabilize local and regional economies at a time when businesses are already fighting to keep prices down, maintain inventory, and avoid layoffs.' If the bill did get signed into law, it would be a win for not only Texas lawmakers but Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a vocal critic of certain chemicals in food like synthetic dyes. Supporters of the Texas bill have claimed that Kennedy backs the legislation, Bloomberg reported. According to the outlet, Texas Representative Lacey Hull claimed she received a call from the HHS secretary when it passed.
