In the first quarter of 2025, Fairfax Financial Holdings reported an increase in its equity holdings by approximately $785 million, bringing the total value to $23.2 billion. The company has identified several strong performers in its portfolio, including Eurobank, Orla Mining, and CVS. Analysts have noted that Fairfax's strategy of long positions in certain financial stocks, particularly against a short position in the XFN.TO index, continues to gain traction. Additionally, other investment portfolios have shown positive growth, with one reporting a 6.9% increase in holdings and another projecting over 100% flat potential for value portfolios. The overall sentiment among investors appears optimistic for the remainder of 2025, especially with anticipated catalysts expected in the second half of the year.
