AI Analysis · Q2 2026

Fairfax Financial Holdings Q1 2026 13F is a $1.94B, 29-position portfolio among the most concentrated activist books in the 13F-HR dataset: five positions account for 60.4% of AUM (ORLA Mining 25.8%, Under Armour Class A 13.1%, CVS 10.0%, Kennedy-Wilson 7.4%, Under Armour Class C 6.5%). ORLA alone at $501.6M on 31.8M shares (25.8%) is a high-conviction bet on a Canadian gold miner Fairfax has accumulated across 4-plus quarters. AUM fell from $2.08B to $1.94B (-6.8%) driven by Occidental sale at a $249M loss and a Vanguard S&P 500 sale at $37M. Thirty-one changes (2 new, 2 sold, 8 increased, 1 decreased) reflect a focused activist-campaign playbook. Under Armour combined at $380.6M (19.6%, two CUSIPs): Class A held steady with +2.5% shares, Class C TRIPLED with +132.6% shares (12.5M new shares, $81.5M deploy) -- a textbook activist-capital maneuver concentrating economic exposure without over-concentrating voting power. CVS at $194.8M (10.0%, flat) is Fairfax's largest activist campaign pushing for strategic separation. Kennedy-Wilson at $144.3M (7.4%) is a distressed real-estate activist play. Cleveland-Cliffs at $125.7M (6.5%) is a steel activist. Kraft Heinz +2.9% shares; BlackBerry held through price decline. Two new opens: Wendy's at $22.8M as an activist consumer opening, Warner Bros Discovery at $1.6M as media distressed speculation. Two sold: Occidental at $249M legacy energy exit, Vanguard S&P 500 at $37M as last passive sleeve liquidation. Garrett Motion -29.2% shares is the only decrease. Eighteen unchanged positions form a stable satellite. A 77.25 whaleScore on $1.94B reflects extreme activist-anchor concentration. The Q1 delta is best read as Fairfax concentrating $286M from OXY plus VOO sales plus ORLA price appreciation into the activist core while eliminating the last passive tail.

The two defining positions are the two largest. ORLA Mining Ltd ($501.6M, 25.8%, 31.8M shares, flat -- pure price increase of +$78.0M from Q4 $423.6M) is a Canadian gold-copper-zinc miner and the portfolio's single largest holding. At 31.8M shares on an estimated ~100M-share float, this is likely a controlling or near-controlling stake with board representation. ORLA's assets: the Broken Hill gold-base-metals mine in Australia and the Red Mountain gold project in British Columbia, both with resource upgrades and production ramp-up in recent years. Fairfax has built this across four consecutive quarters. Zero add in Q1 signals the position is fully built and the manager is a committed long-term holder awaiting operational delivery. The $78M value increase in Q1 reflects ORLA's stock appreciation on gold-and-copper price strength and mine-production progress.

Under Armour Inc ($380.6M combined, 19.6%, two CUSIPs UAA plus UA) is the second activist anchor and the most actively managed quarter. Class A (UAA, $253.7M, 14.8%, 43.0M shares, +2.5%) held with a small add. Class C (UA, $126.9M, 6.5%, 22.0M shares, +12.5M shares, +132.6% from a 9.46M base -- effectively tripling the Class C stake at approximately $81.5M) is the quarter's most significant activist deploy. The Class A/Class C structure matters: Under Armour has two share classes with different voting rights, and Fairfax's massive Class C increase while holding Class A steady is a textbook activist-capital maneuver concentrating economic exposure without over-concentrating voting power. Fairfax has held an activist Under Armour stake for multiple years, publicly pushing for strategic-review and CEO-change. The Q1 Class C add signals renewed conviction ahead of a potential activist catalyst or board-seat negotiation.
