Arch Capital opened 2026 with operating EPS of $2.50 and a 15.4% annualized return on equity as an increasingly competitive market drove Insurance gross premiums written up only 2% and Reinsurance down 2.3%. The ex-cat accident year combined ratio rose 130 basis points year-over-year to 82.3% reflecting the pricing cycle turn, though absolute margins remained strong. The Midcorp system migration was completed in 18 months using AI-assisted workflows, positioning the franchise for scale.
