The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday, Dec. 16, edition that RBC Dominion Securities analyst Bart Dziarski says 2025 was "a year in which stock picking drove alpha" within his Canadian diversified financials coverage universe, and he predicts 2026 will "be no different." The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that Mr. Dziarski's top value pick is Fairfax Financial Holdings. Mr. Dziarski continues to rate Fairfax Financial "outperform," with an unchanged share target of $2,200 (all figures U.S.) Analysts on average target the shares at $2,185.50. Mr. Dziarski says in a note: "We expect the valuation discount vs. peers to narrow as Fairfax continues to deliver solid operating results. Recent inclusion into the S&P/TSX 60 Index should build investor interest." The Globe reported on Aug. 6 that Mr. Dziarski had reaffirmed his "outperform" recommendation for Fairfax Financial. It was then worth $1,736.97. The Globe reported on Aug. 6 and Nov. 11 that Raymond James analyst Stephen Boland had reiterated his "outperform" recommendation for Fairfax Financial. The shares were then going for $1,736.97 and $1,574.78.
