Upturn Advisory & Investor View for ACGL

09/15/2026: ACGL (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Arch Capital Group Ltd. is a global insurance and reinsurance firm that has built a strong reputation through disciplined underwriting and strategic market positioning. The company benefits from a diversified portfolio across specialty insurance, reinsurance, and mortgage insurance, which provides stable revenue streams. Its primary growth opportunity lies in its ability to deploy capital efficiently into hard-market insurance conditions. Key risks include exposure to volatile catastrophe losses and potential cyclical downturns in the housing and reinsurance markets. The stock is best suited for long-term investors focused on book value growth, as the company prioritizes reinvestment over dividends, requiring monitoring of underwriting performance and climate-related event losses.

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.

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 2.68%.

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 94.2% and approximately 96.0% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 2.68% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 9.19%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 6.63%
Artisan Partners Limited Partnership 6.33%
BAMCO Inc 4.90%
State Street Corp 4.76%

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. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

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.
