10:34 AM EDT, 09/05/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Guidewire Software ( GWRE ) is likely to face limited investor pushback after recording an "exceptional" fiscal Q4, analysts at Oppenheimer wrote in a note Friday.

The company on late Thursday reported fiscal Q4 adjusted earnings of $0.84 per diluted share. Analysts polled by FactSet expected $0.63. Revenue for the quarter was $356.6 million, compared with an analyst estimate of $337.8 million.

The company said it expects fiscal 2026 revenue of $1.39 billion to $1.41 billion. Analysts expect $1.36 billion.

Oppenheimer analysts said the company's "strong" quarter was driven by 19 cloud deals and eight migrations, including a landmark 10-year deal with Liberty Mutual.

Oppenheimer said the stock remains its top pick among small- and mid-cap equities due to "strong cloud execution, AI beneficiary, and best mix of offensive/defensive characteristics."

Oppenheimer analysts raised their price target on the stock to $300 from $275 and retained an outperform rating.

Shares of Guidewire were up past 17% in recent Friday trading.
