Fairfax Financial (FFH) has garnered a mixture of perspectives from various experts, predominantly praising its long-term value focus and solid management under Prem Watsa. The company has shown excellent performance in its insurance business, with recent results indicating a strong combined ratio and improved underwriting metrics. However, several analysts caution against entering the stock at present due to the absence of immediate buying catalysts and its high valuation relative to peers. While some experts express ongoing confidence in FFH's long-term prospects, others suggest waiting for a more attractive entry point. Overall, the prevailing sentiment indicates FFH as a stable, defensive choice in the insurance sector, which has been resilient in recent market conditions.

BRK.A

BUY

New issue of preferred just this week and he bought some of that. No concern about credit.

HOLD

One of the few financials that weathered the storm. Made a lot of money on the credit default swaps in the 08/09 mortgage meltdown. Bonds are a little higher on the risk scale and rated in the BB area, BBB splits. Fairly good yield but keep a close eye on them.

TOP PICK

Owned for a long time. A premier global property and casualty insurance company. Balance sheet is as strong as it has ever been. Are well positioned to benefit when the insurance industry improves. Trades below book value.

SELL

His model price is $300, which is a -18% differential.

TOP PICK

FFH.PR.C-T: Attractive alternative because of 5.5% yield and protection against inflation over the next 5 years. The pick of the litter. It’s a ‘reset’ preferred share.

TOP PICK

Preferred shares 5.75%, series C. Wants Preferreds at this point as an option to highly cyclical, pure equity exposure. These have a reset function where every 5 years the rate will get adjusted based on government bond yields and provide some protection against inflation.

BUY

(Market Call Minute) About book value, which is decent. Thinks book value will continue to grow.

BUY

Trading below book value and is quite a bargain at these levels. Astute management.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Very smart management and the track record speaks for itself.

COMMENT

De-listing from the NYSE but is not a big point. He doesn't own because it is too difficult to forecast what the earnings are going to look like.

DON'T BUY

A black box company. He can't tell what's inside. Financial statements are opaque.

BUY

(Market Call Minute) Only 1.3 times book value which has gone up dramatically over the last year

BUY

Investment returns have been excellent but you have all the problems that come with property/casualty. A lot of those issues are now behind them but quarter-by-quarter volatility of earnings and share price will give you worries so you have to have a long-term perspective.

TOP PICK

Preferred shares-series C, 5.75%. Alternative to holding cash. Has a reset function so that every 5 years the rate is reset, representing a nice protection against inflation. They are accumulative units meaning they get paid before common shares.

BUY

Buying subsidiaries, valuation is rich for the sector.
