Baron Funds made the following comment about Guidewire Software, Inc. (NYSE:GWRE) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:
“Shares of P&C insurance software vendor Guidewire Software, Inc. (NYSE:GWRE) detracted from performance due to broader multiple compression in high-growth stocks. We remain shareholders. Guidewire has crossed the midpoint of its cloud transition, which should correspond with improving financial results. Guidewire has tripled its potential market through new products and cloud delivery. Over time, we think Guidewire will be the key software vendor for the global P&C insurance industry, with 30% to 50% of its $15 billion to $30 billion total addressable market and margins above 40%.”
