Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Strong Buy Opinion On Shares Of Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited
Nov 10, 2025 10:33 AM

01:30 PM EST, 11/10/2025 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

Our opinion on Fairfax Financial Holdings ( FRFHF ) is unchanged at 5-STARS (Strong Buy). We maintain our 12-month price target at CAD3,000, which is derived from an even more conservative earnings multiple of 9x our 2026 adjusted earnings per share due to some weakness in P&C. We raise our 2025 EPS estimate by USD14.87 to USD219.10 and 2026 by USD26.01 to USD243.41. Q3 generated fairly strong results, with a stronger P&C quarter Y/Y hindered by gains on investments (down 67% Y/Y). P&C operating income grew 18% Y/Y and underwriting profit was up 39% Y/Y. This translated into EPS growing 22% and BVPS growing 14%. The combined ratio of consolidated insurance businesses dropped 190 bps to a very healthy 92%. Management continues to buy back shares aggressively and remains committed to its TRS strategy, giving us confidence in its fundamentals and valuation.

Asking a financial planner what the best asset allocation is for retirees is a bit like asking a dietitian what the best diet is for retirees. Ask five professionals and you’re likely to get five different answers, rooted in personal biases and beliefs. So, what’s the real answer? It’s personal and it’s complicated. I’ve got clients who look almost the...
