jittawit.21/iStock via Getty Images Guidewire Software ( GWRE ) shares fell 12% in premarket trading on Friday despite reporting strong quarterly results and issuing upbeat guidance, as analysts struck a cautious tone, raising concerns about annual recurring revenue growth and whether delayed deals could signal macroeconomic pressures or spending shifts toward AI initiatives. For the full year, Guidewire issued subscription and support revenue in the range of $963M to $969M and total revenue between $1.46B and $1.47B vs. consensus of $1.45B. CEO Mike Rosenbaum noted “a productivity tsunami,” and CFO Jeffrey Cooper cited the power of the company's "financial model.” Management was more defensive in Q&A on deal timing, with Rosenbaum saying, “there's really nothing to read into this,” and reinforcing, “it is not related to anything macroeconomic.” The company's ARR growth decelerated from “22%” in Q2 to “19%” in Q3. While Q3 introduced explicit talk about slipped deals and backlog headwinds, management repeatedly framed the issue as timing and a “small number of discrete deals,” and reiterated confidence in “a very strong Q4.” Furthermore, AI cost and unit economics monitoring remains early, with CFO Cooper stating that token usage measurement is still developing and Guidewire is focused on “adoption with some controls.” The stock is down 25% so far this year.

Startup Apex Space announced that it had raised more than $200 million as it works to increase production of satellite platforms for commercial firms and government work, including the development of President Donald Trump ’s Golden Dome missile defense shield. The Los Angeles-based company makes satellite buses, which control operations like power generation and communication while enabling customers to add equipment such as cameras, scientific instruments or defense technology. The new fundraising round, co-led by Glade Brook Capital Partners and Washington Harbour Partners , nearly doubles the company’s valuation to $2.3 billion, including the investment, according to a press release from the company. Apex Space expects to use money from the round to expand the startup’s satellite manufacturing facility in Los Angeles and ramp up its rate of developing spacecraft. The company hopes to capitalize on increased demand as more satellite operators deploy spacecraft used for Earth observation, communications and internet access. Northrop Grumman Corp. on June 1 announced it was partnering with Apex Space to develop prototypes of space-based interceptors for Golden Dome , a layered defense system intended to protect the US. Space-based interceptors, an unproven technology, are meant to shoot down incoming missiles from orbit. Apex Space has also invested $15 million on a privately funded space-based interceptor demonstration called Project Shadow, which will help validate that its spacecraft can host and support missile interceptors in orbit. Project Shadow is on track to launch this summer, according to the company.
