Fairfax Financial (FFH-T) presents a mix of opinions among analysts, characterized by a stable yet turbulent market presence. While it boasts a solid reputation as a well-managed company with strong long-term growth potential, particularly in its insurance sector, many experts imply that the current market conditions are not optimal for buying. Reviews suggest a sideways trend in stock performance without any significant catalysts on the horizon, with some indicating that the best earnings cycle may be behind. Moreover, the stock tends to trade at a discount compared to peers, hinting at potential undervaluation, but several analysts believe that it may not be a screaming buy at this moment. The long-term outlook remains positive, though considerable patience is required to fully appreciate the investment's value.

Berkshire Hathaway, BRK

DON'T BUY

Three-year time horizon. He sold this, because it wasn't performing, failing to reach 2018 highs. Doesn't see a sign of that happening...yet. He's neutral on it, but look elsewhere.

DON'T BUY

He sold this recently. The stock has a pattern of bouncing off support at $550. That was broken recently so he exited. It may still rally back to $700, but he has moved his money elsewhere.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It's suffering. It's a "black box" with insurance and investment sides; the latter has had a checkered performance. It had a big dip in the past 12 months. It does well in relatively poor markets, though. Maybe it's a buy on a pullback.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jul 16/19, Down 9%) FFH took a haircut from Blackberry's stock decline, but he still likes FFH. FFH's chart routinely bounces off $550 up to around $720.

DON'T BUY

It peaked in mid-2018, and has been in a downtrend since. Currently, it is testing a support level; watch it if it falls below that. Not excited about this stock.

DON'T BUY

He is looking at Fairfax India, where there is better value. There is better places to go he feels than FFH-T. They have been pressured by recent interest rate moves.

TOP PICK

It is trading at a really good level. The risk/reward is pretty good. Their compounding growth had been lacking compared to earlier periods but right now everything is lined up. (Analysts’ price target is $752.89)

HOLD

He admires the company. The problem the market has is that the earnings can be so erratic. In the latest quarter they had some non-cash gains due to consolidation. The value of the stock will follow the underlying book value of the company which has continued to climb over the years.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jul 23/18, Down 15%) It's an India play. He's owned this a long time. A well-run company. He's been buying the dips; now is the best time to buy this. Their insurance business boasts strong combine ratios. American insurance companies trades at 1.6x book vs. FFH trading below book value. They have big investments in India and globally. They have other direct investments in India, and he's confident about that country's long-term. Now is the best time to buy FFH in 10 years.

DON'T BUY

Very stable company, so little volatility. Their insurance business floats their business, but CEO Prem tends to underperform his investments. Earnings aren't cheap. He prefers MFC in the insurance space. But if there is a recession, FFH is a reliable flight to safety.

TOP PICK

The chart has big swings but definite patterns. It will likely reach low-$700's again. Great to own for the coming year. (Analysts’ price target is $762.34)

TOP PICK

It's well-run. Their insurance side has improved a lot and is more profitable. Their investment portfiolio has been challenging in the last two years, but their long-term record is exceptional, so he has faith in it. The stock is trading close to its book value and the lowest in 7 years. He expects its coming quarter report to be strong, because their investments like BlackBerry have moved up a lot. (Analysts’ price target is $756.20)

DON'T BUY

You had a sharp move in 2015 and it has been flat since and is at the lower end of that range since. It is heading to the 2010 level of $300 during the next recession. He likes the company and management but there is more downside than upside due to market conditions.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 24/19, Down 1%) It's a hedgy stock. He likes it as a longer-term trade. The chart shows big swings. It bottoms around $600 and believes it can top $700, as it has in the past. His target is $700.

DON'T BUY

Prem Watsa can do not wrong. This has been built on the backs of the financial sector over the years. However, he owns Fairfax India. As a long term strategy he prefers Fairfax India. Currency wise, anything in Asia should do well. Growth potential in Asian financials should be exponential over the next few years. Better growth market with the India play.
