Significance 6/10

CFO Cooper Jeffrey Elliott sold 4,757 shares of GWRE at $158.72; well-timed prior sales suggest pattern of selling before declines.

Cooper Jeffrey Elliott, GWRE's CFO, sold 4,757 shares on 2026-03-13 at $158.72, reducing his holdings from 72,753 to 67,996 shares. His prior trades at GWRE show a consistent pattern: three measurable sales at the 90-day mark (2025-09-18 triple sale) all registered negative 90-day returns of -22.5%, -22.4%, and -22.0%, indicating well-timed exits before declines. More recently, two December 2025 sells showed 30-day declines of -18.5% and -13.5%, suggesting the insider continues to sell into strength. The current stock price of $160.57 is down 38.7% from its 52-week high of $261.88, placing this sale approximately midway through a significant retreat; whether this sale precedes further weakness or occurs after the main decline will become measurable in subsequent 90-day reporting. The CFO's same-ticker history (3 of 3 prior 90-day outcomes well-timed) warrants monitoring of post-transaction price action.

$791,883
Significance 6/10

GWRE CFO Elliott sells 4,104 shares for $791,882.56; GWRE trades -24.6% from 52-week high; 5 of 5 prior Elliott sales at GWRE well-timed.

Cooper Jeffrey Elliott, CFO of Guidewire Software (GWRE), executed two separate sales totaling 4,104 (4.1K shares) for $791,882.56 on December 16 and 18, 2025, at prices of $192.08 and $195.00 respectively (blended average $192.95). This reduces his holdings by 5.3%, from 77,073 to 72,969 shares. Notably, all five of Elliott's prior sales at GWRE (executed on 2025-09-18) were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with negative post-sale returns ranging from -1.0% to -22.5%, meaning the stock declined after each sale. Elliott's cross-ticker track record shows a 45.00% well-timed rate across 20 open-market sales, suggesting moderate timing accuracy. The current stock price of $197.46 stands -24.6% below the 52-week high of $261.88 and has fallen 19.3% over the past 90 days, placing the company in a period of sustained weakness relative to recent valuations.

Significance 5/10

CFO Cooper Jeffrey Elliott sold 7,535 shares at blended average $248.76 for $1.9M at Guidewire Software

Cooper Jeffrey Elliott, CFO of Guidewire Software, executed 5 separate sales totaling 7,535 shares for $1,874,377.21 on 2025-09-18, reducing his holdings by 8.9% from 84,646 to 77,111 shares. The sales occurred at prices ranging from $246.80 to $250.28, with a blended average of $248.76, slightly above the current price of $244.60. Across his cross-ticker track record, his prior sells showed an average 90-day return of +14.2% with a 90-day well-timed rate of 17.65%, indicating his historical sales have predominantly preceded stock appreciation rather than declines. At this specific ticker (GWRE), his prior 4 measurable sales showed mixed outcomes: 2 of 4 were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with his most recent prior sell on 2025-06-18 declining 11.3% over 30 days and 1.5% over 90 days. The company trades at a P/E of 186.72 with strong recent fundamentals including $293.5M quarterly revenue and +22.6% annual revenue growth, though the current price sits 6.6% below its 52-week high of $261.88.

Significance 6/10

CFO Cooper Jeffrey Elliott sold 14,103 shares of GWRE at $242.87 on 2025-09-16 for $3.4M, reducing holdings by 14.3%

Cooper Jeffrey Elliott, CFO of Guidewire Software, sold 14,103 shares at $242.87 on 2025-09-16 for a total value of $3,425,150.48, reducing his stake from 98,749 shares to 84,646 shares—a 14.3% reduction in holdings. The sale occurred when the stock was trading -5.7% below its 52-week high of $261.88, during a period of +14.8% upward momentum over the prior 30 days. His prior trades at Guidewire show a mixed timing pattern: 2 of 5 prior sales resulted in stock declines over 90 days (well-timed outcomes), while the other 3 were followed by stock appreciation, including two sales in March 2025 followed by +28.5% and +29.7% 90-day gains. The cross-ticker timing record is stronger (17.65% well-timed rate), but same-ticker results suggest this CFO has not consistently sold ahead of declines at Guidewire specifically. The sale represents a substantial reduction in equity ownership while the company reports strong fundamentals: $293.5M quarterly revenue, $46.0M net income, +22.6% annual revenue growth, and a $20.9B market cap.

Significance 5/10

CFO Jeffrey Elliott sells 4,411 shares ($1.1M) at blended $249.12; holds 65.0K shares post-sale

Cooper Jeffrey Elliott (Chief Financial Officer) executed 3 separate sales totaling 4,411 shares for $1,098,879.46 ($1.1M) on June 17–18, 2025, reducing his holdings from 69.4K to 65.0K shares (a 6.4% reduction). The sales occurred at a blended average price of $249.12, near the 52-week high of $257.37, at a time when the stock has risen 14.6% over 30 days and 27.6% over 90 days. His prior 5 trades at GWRE (all sales in March 2025) showed mixed post-transaction timing: none achieved a well-timed 90-day outcome (all posted gains of +27.3% to +33.9% after the sale, indicating the stock continued rising rather than falling), while his cross-ticker track record shows a 90-day well-timed rate of 7.14%, modestly above zero. The company's fundamentals are noteworthy: it is unprofitable on a full-year basis despite $293.5M quarterly revenue and $46.0M net income in the latest quarter, with an elevated P/E of 601.93, reflecting recent profitability swings or very thin margins. Against this context, the sale represents a material reduction in his equity stake while the stock is near its 52-week peak.

Significance 4/10

CFO Elliott sells 4,063 shares at $189.41–$194.98; holds 69,431 shares post-transaction

Cooper Jeffrey Elliott, CFO of Guidewire Software, executed 5 separate sales totaling 4,063 shares for $777,554.58 over two trading days (March 18–19), reducing his holdings by 5.5% from 73,494 to 69,431 shares. The blended average price of $191.37 falls within the 52-week range of $107.64–$218.22, and occurs as the stock is currently -11.4% from its 52-week high and -10.2% over the past 30 days. Elliott's cross-ticker track record shows a 90-day well-timed rate of 11.11% across 9 prior sells, but his same-ticker history at GWRE is notably weaker: all 5 prior sales were poorly timed at the 90-day horizon (positive returns after each sale, 0 of 5 well-timed). The company remains unprofitable with a net income of -$37.3M on quarterly revenue of $289.5M, though annual revenue growth stands at +8.3%. The modest position reduction in the context of recent stock weakness and Elliott's poor historical timing on GWRE trades warrants monitoring but does not signal material concern.

3,897 shares

Significance 4/10

CFO Elliott sells 3,897 shares at blended $171.98; holds 73.8K shares post-sale. GWRE -16.9% from 52-week high.

Cooper Jeffrey Elliott, CFO of Guidewire Software, executed 2 separate sales totaling 3,897 shares for $670,221.37 on December 17-19, 2024, reducing his holdings by 5.0% to 73,842 shares. The stock is currently trading 16.9% below its 52-week high of $207.12 and has declined 12.4% over the past 30 days, creating a depressed price backdrop for the sale. Notably, Elliott's prior 5 same-ticker sales at GWRE (September-June 2024) showed mostly positive 30-day returns averaging around 8.7%, but only 1 of 5 (20%) generated negative 90-day returns that would indicate well-timed selling before a subsequent decline. His cross-ticker track record across 7 prior sells shows a 14.29% well-timed rate, which is weak. The company's fundamentals present a concerning picture: despite $262.9M quarterly revenue and 8.3% annual growth, the business reported only $9.1M net income last quarter and was unprofitable over the full fiscal year, paired with an extremely elevated P/E of 477.94, suggesting the market is pricing in significant future earnings improvement that may not materialize.

Significance 5/10

CFO Elliott sells 15,290 GWRE shares for $2.6M at $172.34 avg; stock near 52-week high, Elliott retains 78.4K shares

Jeffrey Elliott, CFO of Guidewire Software, executed 4 separate sales totaling 15,290 shares for $2,635,020.17 at a blended average price of $172.34 on September 17–19, 2024. The current price of $174.65 is at the 52-week high, and the stock has rallied +18.9% over 30 days and +27.2% over 90 days. At GWRE specifically, Elliott's prior 3 sales (June 2024 and September 2023) were followed by positive 90-day returns (+28.5%, +28.4%, and +12.8%), indicating poor timing on those occasions. The company remains unprofitable on a full-year basis (net income $-5.5M) with a P/E of 151.87, raising questions about valuation sustainability. Elliott's post-transaction holdings of 78.4K shares represent a 16.3% reduction, yet he retains substantial equity exposure.

Significance 5/10

CFO Jeffrey Elliott sells 4,782 shares of GWRE for $642,762.64 across two trades; stock near 52-week high at $137.30

Jeffrey Elliott, Chief Financial Officer of Guidewire Software, executed two separate sales totaling 4,782 shares for $642,762.64 on June 18–20, 2024, at an average price of $134.41, reducing his holdings by 7.2% to 61,596 shares. The sales occurred as GWRE trades at $137.30, near its 52-week high of $137.30, having appreciated 11.6% over the prior 30 days and 20.9% over 90 days. Notably, Elliott's prior sale at this ticker on 2023-09-19 was poorly timed—the stock rose 12.8% in the 90 days following that sale, suggesting he sold before a significant gain. The company reported revenue of $240,678,000.00 in its latest quarter with negative net income of $-5,478,000.00, indicating ongoing unprofitability despite 11.4% year-over-year revenue growth. These sales warrant attention as they occur at elevated valuation levels and follow a history of poorly timed insider exits at this security.
