KFRCanuk Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) I wonder where they will end up on the list at the end of 2024. Will the market cap beat yoga pants? https://companiesmarketcap.com/canada/largest-companies-in-canada-by-market-cap/ FFH is currently at position 34 with $22.52 B while yoga pants is at 10 with $62.84 B. List looks to be USD. Edited January 3 by KFRCanuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haryana Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Quite a milestone to the overtake the Great-West Lifeco. Next, overtaking National Bank will be a great one as they are one of the major banks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 It is such a relief sometimes to remember it is still only ~30 B and not some ~300 B already:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting to inflation adjust Berkshire and see what they managed to compound in the $US25->100bn range. Different times of course but lots of deals in the $1-5bn space for the prepared mind and that is without taking EM into account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwoodman Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Not a bad attempt, even if it is by an Australian https://www.firstlinks.com.au/warren-buffett-lost-edge-20-years-ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafetyinNumbers Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 I’m glad I got on the record after the AGM that FFH had a great shot at outperforming BRK when it reached the same market cap ~30 years ago benefiting from a lower starting valuation and dramatically bigger float. I hoped it would inspire some long term thinking but most people are concerned about avoiding short term drawdowns. Article attached if anyone is interested.

villainx Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 The idea of inflection point reminds me of what Munger said about getting to 100,000. Except no easing off gas with Prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given so much good writing by others it is rare to have a unique view on Fairfax, well done again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Great-West Life as still maintaining a sizeable lead over Fairfax, with a market cap of $43b - maybe you are looking at the US listing with the market cap in USD? They are another obstacle for getting into the TSX 60, I suppose. If they accepted a heavier overweighting for financials, wouldn't GWO get first dibs? Another reason for changing Fairfax to Chicken and Mattresses Co. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly, GreatWest is already in Tsx60 indirectly via PowerC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comparison should be the same, whether in USD or CAD, and in CAD, I see GWO as being $43.1b and FFH at $40.6, but maybe they were reversed when you commented. And the TSX doesn't use market cap, they make some kind of adjustment for float, so who knows which is first on that basis. 9 minutes ago, Haryana said: Secondly, GreatWest is already in Tsx60 indirectly via PowerC. OK, thanks, I didn't know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s probably inconsequential, for the moment, but fun to watch. https://companiesmarketcap.com/canada/largest-companies-in-canada-by-market-cap/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dartmonkey Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 A bad day for the fans of share repurchases, but a nice day on the TSX60 waiting list, moving up 5 spots, passing 2 financials that are in the index (National Bank! and Sun Life), 1 financial that is in the list via Power Corp (Great-West Lifeco) and nipping at the heels of another, Intact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
