Upturn Advisory & Investor View for ACGL

11/13/2026: ACGL (1-star) has a low Upturn Star Rating. Not recommended to BUY.

Arch Capital Group Ltd. is a global insurance and reinsurance firm recognized for its disciplined underwriting and diversified business model across property, specialty, and mortgage insurance. The company has historically delivered strong margins by focusing on niche market segments where its expertise provides a competitive advantage. Its primary growth opportunity lies in its ability to deploy capital opportunistically across fluctuating market cycles and expand its specialty offerings. However, risks include sensitivity to major catastrophe events, intense industry competition, and potential volatility in the housing market. The stock may best suit growth-oriented investors looking for a well-managed financial firm, though it is less suitable for those prioritizing regular dividend income.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
ACGL receives a 4-star rating, supported by strong unit economics, solid company fundamentals, solid quantitative characteristics, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
ACGL has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, moderate earnings growth (+2.0%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 30.7%) are partially offset by modest insider ownership of 2.92%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
ACGL's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $6.1B (30.7% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Revenue growth is ACGL's strongest growth driver at +14.3% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, while free-cash-flow growth (-7.5%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 94.6% and approximately 95.6% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 2.92% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 9.28%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 6.83%
Artisan Partners Limited Partnership 6.63%
State Street Corp 4.99%
BAMCO Inc 4.88%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
ACGL generates approximately $372 of gross profit, $250 of operating income, and $307 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Solid margins and strong cash conversion support the rating, although capital efficiency remains solid.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 14.73%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
ACGL has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
