Wells Fargo Bucks the Trend: Reaffirms Overweight on ACGL With $110 Target Amid Mixed Analyst Calls

Arch Capital Group Ltd. (NASDAQ:ACGL) is one of the stocks that look extremely cheap on paper. On July 10, Wells Fargo reaffirmed its Overweight rating on ACGL and raised its price target to $110 (up from $108), signaling nearly 22% upside from the current share price. This move underscores its optimistic view on Arch’s prospects, especially compared to other sector names that haven't seen similar upward revisions lately.

This bullish tone comes amid a busy July for ACGL: on July 9, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods downgraded the stock to Market Perform with a lower $101 target. So Wells Fargo’s reiteration and raise carries some weight, not just a hollow update, but a confident nod amid mixed analyst sentiment.

Recent price action reflects investor attention: the stock dropped roughly 2.5% on July 9, breaking a short winning streak, then bounced 3.1% on July 14, outperforming peers like Everest, AXIS, and W.R. Berkley, with a surge in trading volume signaling heightened interest.

Arch Capital Group Ltd. is a Bermuda-based insurer and reinsurer that underwrites specialty risks globally, including property, casualty, reinsurance, and mortgage insurance. Operating across some 60 offices worldwide, Arch generated revenue in the tens of billions and employs over 7,200 people.
