Arch earnings date
Arch is expected to report its next results on October 27, 2026. Watch the insurance expense ratio.
What has Arch guided for the year?
Arch’s risk limits are boundaries, not earnings targets. Tangible equity means shareholders’ capital after goodwill and other intangible assets; a net loss is measured after Arch’s own reinsurance. A rare-event return period describes a modelled annual probability, not a disaster scheduled for a particular year. The July 2026 Florida estimate remained below the stated boundary, but the model cannot guarantee that actual losses will stay within it. The tax-rate guidance also supplies no numerical target.
| The period it covers | High | The date it was given | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-in-250 year return period net probable maximum loss from a severe catastrophic event | Ongoing | 25.0% | 2026-08-04 |
| Modeled RDS loss from a severe economic event | Ongoing | 25.0% | 2026-08-04 |
| Annualized effective tax rate | Fiscal 2026 |
What this means. The two 25.0 percent catastrophe figures are not expected losses; they are estimated worst-case limits after reinsurance and before taxes, compared with Arch’s tangible shareholders’ equity.
Did Arch keep its past promises?
The performance-share plan tests whether profits build durable capital. Tangible book value per share measures common shareholders’ accounting capital after removing goodwill and other intangible assets. Arch reported tangible book value per common share of $61.71 at December 31, 2025, compared with ordinary book value of $65.11. The 2023–2025 plan targeted 11% annual growth, while the reported result was 33.65% annualized over the cycle, producing a 200% payout.
What are Arch’s revenue and profit trends?
Net premiums written fell 6.9% from the same quarter of 2025, while the combined ratio worsened to 83.5%. Core earnings fell to $893 million, and net income fell to $1,057 million. Fewer shares softened the decline in diluted EPS.

What should I watch in Arch’s next results?
Arch is scheduled to report third-quarter earnings on October 27, 2026. The key combination is the insurance expense ratio, the amount of reinsurance business retained and the size of repurchases. A smaller premium book may show discipline, but a smaller book with stubborn costs and aggressive distributions would deserve scrutiny.
