Assured Guaranty ( (AGO) ) just unveiled an announcement.

On January 21, 2026, Assured Guaranty UK Holdings, a wholly owned subsidiary of Assured Guaranty Ltd., closed the approximately $158 million cash acquisition of Warwick Company (UK) Limited, the ultimate parent of Bermuda-based life and annuity reinsurer Warwick Re Limited, after receiving required regulatory clearance from the Bermuda Monetary Authority. The transaction, which includes Warwick Re’s balance sheet, infrastructure, staff and related subsidiaries, immediately positions Assured Guaranty in the annuity reinsurance market and has led to the rebranding of Warwick Re as Assured Life Reinsurance Ltd., which will focus on fixed-term annuities and pension risk transfer annuities, supported in part by guarantees from AA-rated affiliate Assured Guaranty Re Overseas Ltd., thereby broadening the group’s product set and creating a dedicated platform for growth in annuity reinsurance under the leadership of long-time executive Dan Bevill.

The most recent analyst rating on (AGO) stock is a Buy with a $108.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Assured Guaranty stock, see the AGO Stock Forecast page.
