Guidewire signs $1.7 billion agreement to buy AI underwriting firm hyperexponential
Guidewire entered a definitive agreement to acquire hyperexponential for a $1.7 billion base cash price, subject to adjustments, plus up to $400 million contingent on recurring-revenue targets. The target supplies AI-native underwriting and pricing software for commercial insurers. Guidewire expects a fiscal 2027 second-quarter closing, subject to conditions; its projected agentic underwriting combination is not a live integration. The company’s premium-volume and growth claims are issuer statements.
