Arch Capital Group Ltd. (ACGLO): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Financial Services · Insurance - Diversified · Bermuda · High Growth
Is ACGLO undervalued?
At 18.48 (close of 16 Oct 2026), ACGLO trades 89% below the GLS average fair value of 169.55. That average comes from 8 models run on the latest filings, and 7 of them land above the current price. Margins of safety over 30% are the exception rather than the rule across the ~7,400 stocks we value each night, so the number earns Arch Capital Group Ltd. the full Value points in the Wheel Score - and a closer look at what the market is pricing in.
The 8 models disagree widely: Lynch gives 9.39 while DCF gives 363.77. A spread that wide means the average is sensitive to which methods you trust; the model table below shows where each one lands, and the Quote page lets you switch any of them off.
The nightly engine files ACGLO under High Growth: revenue and earnings growing fast enough that the growth-based models carry the valuation.

Quality and financial health
Financial health is average - ACGLO passes 5 of the nine Piotroski tests, which falls one point short of the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. The Financials tab on the Quote page shows which tests fail. The GLS Moat score is 7.9 out of 10, built from ten years of revenue, earnings, margins, cash flow, share count and returns on capital scored for consistency - a high reading that points to a durable business.
Returns on capital are high - ROIC 16.3%, ROE 18.2%, ROA 6.6% - with debt at 0.11 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 17.9%.
Arch Capital Group Ltd. pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain. Revenue comes mainly from Reinsurance 48%, Insurance 46%, Mortgage 7% (fiscal year FY2025).
Institutional ownership scores 1/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 5 / 9 | ROIC | 16.3% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 7.9 / 10 | ROE | 18.2% |
| Debt / equity | 0.11 | ROA | 6.6% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 17.9% | Payout ratio | 1% |
| Institutions | 1 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 39: No options
ACGLO has no listed options in the nightly snapshot, so there is nothing to sell and the stock cannot be wheeled however good the business; the Wheel Score is capped at 39 and shown as "No options" (39 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.
Volume runs at 36k shares a day on a market cap of $34.9B, with a beta of 0.29 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 12 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 25 / 25 | 89% margin of safety | |
| Health | 11 / 20 | Piotroski 5/9 | |
| Moat | 12 / 15 | moat 7.9/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 12 / 20 | 36k shares/day, $34.9B cap, beta 0.29 |
