Investing.com - Property and casualty insurance software company Guidewire jumped midday on strong earnings and guidance.

Guidewire (NYSE:GWRE) shares gained 9% following its results, issued after the bell Wednesday.

The company reported a profit of 34 cents per share and revenue of $169.3 million. That topped forecasts compiled by Investing.com for earnings of 19 cents per share and revenue of $159.75 million.

Looking ahead, Guidewire predicted a fiscal 2019 profit of $1.35 to $1.41 per share, up from previous guidance of $1.24 to $1.34 per share.
