The portfolio's value increased from $1.84 billion to $1.87 billion in the second quarter of 2025, with a focus on larger equity holdings. The top three positions are Orla Mining, Occidental Petroleum, and CVS Health, which together account for approximately 54% of the portfolio [1].
One of the significant changes is the reduction in the BlackBerry Ltd. (BB) stake, which is now at around 10% of the portfolio. The position was first purchased in 2010 and aggressively built up, but it saw a ~13% trimming this quarter at prices between $2.80 and $5.32 [1].
Occidental Petroleum (OXY) is now the second-largest 13F stake at ~14% of the portfolio, built during the four quarters through Q2 2023 at prices between ~$57 and ~$67. The stock is currently trading at $45.14, below its purchase range, but there was a marginal increase this quarter [1].
Kraft Heinz (KHC) saw a whopping ~350% stake increase in the previous quarter and another ~45% increase this quarter, with the stock currently trading at $26.67 [1].
Orla Mining (ORLA) remains a significant position, with the stock trading well above its purchase range at $10.98 [1].
The portfolio also holds stakes in Fairfax India Holdings, Fairfax Financial Holdings, and Fairfax Africa Holdings, with notable increases in these positions. The portfolio's overall equity portfolio was 100% hedged until Q4 2016, when those hedges were removed [1].
Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited (OTC: FRFHF) has achieved a 19.9% net annual return since its inception, with a 6.9% annual performance on the S&P 500. The stock has gained 44.74% of its value over the past 52 weeks, closing at $171.00 per share on September 5, 2025 [2].
The portfolio's adjustments reflect a strategic shift towards increasing positions in specific sectors and reducing exposure to others. The changes are likely aimed at aligning with the company's long-term investment strategy and capitalizing on market opportunities [1].
