Fairfax India: Collection of High-Quality Assets at Discount to NAV
January 19, 2023 in Audio, Best Ideas 2023, Best Ideas 2023 Featured, Best Ideas Conference, Diary, Discover Great Ideas Podcast, Equities, Ideas, Member Podcasts, TranscriptsJeffrey Stacey of Stacey Muirhead Capital Management updated his investment thesis on Fairfax India Holdings (Canada: FIH.U) at Best Ideas 2023.
Jeff originally presented Fairfax India at Best Ideas 2022.
Thesis summary:
Fairfax India’s stock price declined 2.6% in 2022, but intrinsic value has increased modestly in Jeff’s judgment. As such, Jeff believes the company is still an attractive investment opportunity.
Fairfax India is an investment holding company whose objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing in public and private equity securities and debt instruments in India. Fairfax Financial owns 42.2% of shares outstanding, while OMERS owns 14.7%. Management and investment advisory services are provided by Fairfax Financial, which has a successful long-term operating record in India. Some the largest investments made by Fairfax India include the Bangalore International Airport Limited, the IIFL group of companies, Sanmar Chemicals Group, and CSB Bank.
Fairfax India trades at a ~35% discount to book value per share. Jeff considers book value per share as a rough but understated proxy for intrinsic value. Fairfax India has been actively buying back shares to take advantage of this discount, having purchased about 7.6% of shares outstanding since the end of 2020.
Given the above-average long-term growth potential of India, a portfolio of public and private investments with solid economic prospects and reasonable valuations, a market price at a significant discount to both book value and intrinsic value per share, and an active and accretive share repurchase program, Jeff believes Fairfax India remains a compelling investment opportunity.

Edita Food: Powerful Brands and Durability in Developing World
January 19, 2023 in Audio, Best Ideas 2023, Best Ideas 2023 Featured, Best Ideas Conference, Diary, Discover Great Ideas Podcast, Equities, Ideas, Member Podcasts, TranscriptsFred Steiner of BCCM Advisors presented his investment thesis on Egypt-based Edita Food Industries (UK: EFID) at Best Ideas 2023.
Thesis summary:
Since the GFC, Egypt has experienced a series of major events, including the 2011 Egyptian Revolution, a change in government and the constitution in 2013, a 50% devaluation in its currency against the US dollar in 2016, Covid-19 and its impact on tourism, the fallout of the Ukraine War due to its dependence on wheat imports and Ukrainian and Russian tourists, and finally, over the past nine months the currency has depreciated a further 50%.
US dollar investors have lost two-thirds of their capital since the 2015 IPO of snack regional market leader Edita Food Industries (EFID.CA on the EGX and EFID.L on the LSE). Over this tumultuous period, Edita has improved the breadth and depth of its portfolio of brands, grown exports to 17 countries, learned from pricing mistakes, and recently established a manufacturing presence in Morocco.
Growth has kept up with the dollar appreciation, translating into a 60-75% contraction in trading multiples. Fred believes Edita offers investors one of the best examples of the power of brands and durability in the developing world.
Edita is valued at 2023 ~7x EV/EBITDA and ~11x P/E while being a consistent generator of high-teens to low-twenties ROIC.
