Fundamental quality

ATTRACTIVE

79

out of 100

Markel Group Inc. earns a fundamental-quality score of 79 out of 100, profiling it as a company with solid fundamentals. Its score rests mainly on its financial strength (net debt 0.27× EBITDA). Its weakest area is its profitability (net margin 14.7%). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What the company does

Markel is the insurer that wants to be Berkshire Hathaway when it grows up: specialty insurance for odd risks (classic boats to horse farms), a patiently managed stock portfolio and a collection of wholly owned industrial businesses (Markel Ventures).

What will shape its future

  • Specialty underwriting: insuring the odd risks others can't price is its moat.
  • Its investment portfolio and Ventures, the Buffett-style compounding engine.
  • Discipline in a soft market: growing less when prices don't compensate.
