Why Are We Positive On Arch Capital Group?

With roots dating back to 1995 and now operating across insurance markets on six continents, Arch Capital Group (NASDAQ: ACGL) provides specialty insurance, reinsurance, and mortgage insurance services worldwide through its three main business segments.

1. Net Premiums Earned Skyrockets, Fueling Growth Opportunities

While insurers generate revenue from multiple sources, investors view net premiums earned as the cornerstone - its direct link to core operations stands in sharp contrast to the unpredictability of investment returns and fees.

Arch Capital Group’s net premiums earned has grown at a 23.3% annualized rate over the last two years, much better than the broader insurance industry.

2. Outstanding Long-Term EPS Growth

Analyzing the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) shows whether a company's incremental sales were profitable – for example, revenue could be inflated through excessive spending on advertising and promotions.

Arch Capital Group’s EPS grew at an astounding 25.9% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years, higher than its 22% annualized revenue growth. This tells us the company became more profitable on a per-share basis as it expanded.

3. Growing BVPS Reflects Strong Asset Base

For insurers, book value per share (BVPS) is a vital measure of financial health, representing the total assets available to shareholders after accounting for all liabilities, including policyholder reserves and claims obligations.

Arch Capital Group’s BVPS increased by 16.2% annually over the last five years, and growth has recently accelerated as BVPS grew at an exceptional 24.8% annual clip over the past two years (from $35.56 to $55.38 per share).
