Fairholme Capital Q4 2025: Bruce Berkowitz's 80% Conviction in St. Joe Company

Fairholme Capital Management's $1.43B portfolio reveals extreme conviction, with real estate developer St. Joe Company (JOE) commanding over 80% of assets.

When it comes to concentrated investing, Bruce Berkowitz's Fairholme Capital Management often stands in a league of its own. The firm's Q4 2025 13F filing reveals a highly targeted $1.43 billion portfolio distributed across just 15 positions, reflecting a profound commitment to a select few deep-value and real estate plays.

The St. Joe Behemoth

The defining characteristic of Fairholme's portfolio is its astronomical allocation to a single stock: The St. Joe Company (JOE). Valued at $1.15 billion, this position represents an incredible 80.4% of the firm's reported 13F assets. St. Joe is a major real estate developer and land manager in Northwest Florida. This isn't just a stock pick for Berkowitz; it is essentially a co-ownership of a massive regional development operation.

Energy and Financial Selectivity

Beyond the massive real estate bet, Fairholme's remaining capital is primarily deployed in energy and financials. A $174.7 million (12.2%) stake in midstream energy giant Enterprise Products Partners (EPD) provides substantial yield and inflation protection. Additionally, a $42.0 million (2.9%) position in regional lender Bank OZK (OZK) highlights Berkowitz's willingness to step into complex financial stories where he perceives a margin of safety.

Rounding out the top tier is a modest 1.7% position in Berkshire Hathaway (BRK/B), a common anchor holding among deeply convicted value investors.
