The selection of Guidewire Cloud will help Mountain West to implement its digital transformation strategy. Further, it will improve the company’s core operations and simplify its IT operations while enabling it to quickly adapt to changing market demands.

Guidewire’s Chief Sales Officer, Frank O’Dowd, commented, “We are pleased by the organization’s vote of confidence in our cloud services capabilities and look forward to helping the company continue its mission of providing financial peace of mind for their customers with competitive, quality products and services.”

Needham analyst Mayank Tandon recently downgraded GWRE from Buy to Hold. Tandon said, “While GWRE trades at a discount to other financial software peers, we note that the ongoing model transition from license deals to cloud-based subscription deals is taking longer than anticipated and pressuring both revenue growth and margins. While we view the company’s cloud investments as a prudent move for the long term, we believe the model transition results in a neutral risk-reward in the near term.

Overall, the stock has a Moderate Buy consensus rating based on 3 Buys and 5 Hold. The average analyst Guidewire price target of $122.60 implies 6% upside potential from current levels.
