Arch Capital Group (ACGL): Revisiting Valuation After Recent 6% Share Price Rebound

Simply Wall St

Arch Capital Group (ACGL) has quietly outperformed over the past month, climbing about 6% even as recent annual revenue and net income growth cooled. That mix of steady returns and slower earnings momentum sets up an interesting valuation check.

Zooming out, Arch Capital Group’s roughly 5.6% 1 month share price return contrasts with a softer 1 year total shareholder return of about negative 6 percent, suggesting recent momentum is rebuilding after a cooler stretch.

With analysts seeing upside to the current share price but earnings growth slowing, the key question now is whether Arch Capital is quietly mispriced value, or if the market is already baking in its next leg of growth.
