Fundamentals
Valuation and ratings
Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited trades at USD1,649.72, close to the USD1,717.08 our fair value estimate puts on the business. On this measure the market and the model broadly agree, so the interesting question is which of them is wrong.
Our moat model scores it 56 out of 100, which is a moat, but not a deep one. A moat is a structural reason competitors cannot take the profits away, and it matters more to a long holding period than any single quarter's numbers do.
It changes hands at 8.2 times earnings. Be careful reading that in isolation: for a cyclical business a low P/E arrives at the top of the cycle, when profits are peaking and about to fall, which is exactly when the shares look cheapest and are not.

Estimates are the published analyst consensus and move often. An earnings date is scheduled, not certain, and a share tends to reprice most violently on the day itself.

Common questions
Is Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited (FRFHF) undervalued?
Against our fair value estimate of USD1,717.08, FRFHF at USD1,649.72 is 4% below fair value. That is one model's answer, not a recommendation. It is built from normalized earning power with growth capped deliberately low, which understates companies whose value is mostly future growth.
Which funds own FRFHF?
2 of the institutions we track reported a position in FRFHF in their most recent SEC 13F filing. A 13F is filed up to 45 days after quarter end, so it tells you what a fund held then, not what it holds now.
What is FRFHF's P/E ratio?
FRFHF trades at 8.2 times earnings. A low P/E is not automatically cheap: on a cyclical company it is usually a warning that earnings are at a peak.
Does Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited (FRFHF) pay a dividend?
Yes. Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited yields 0.90% at the current share price. It has paid a dividend in each of the last 12 complete calendar years. A dividend is declared by the board and can be cut at any time; a yield is a fact about the current price, not a promise.
