Guidewire Stays Strong Despite AI Growth Concerns

Artisan Small Cap Fund's Q2 2026 investor letter highlights Guidewire Software (GWRE) as a market leader in P&C insurance software, despite facing investor scrutiny over AI-driven valuations. Trading at $131.38, the stock has declined 37.88% year-to-date, with a market cap of $10.94 billion. The fund notes Guidewire's defensible system-of-record position and potential to enhance its competitive edge through AI integration, but broader software sector weakness has pressured the stock. The fund remains optimistic about small-cap opportunities in AI infrastructure and healthcare, while reducing overall software exposure. How will markets react to this shift?
