  • $2,032.42 P/E (TTM): 12.75X Cap: $25.73B
  • View MKL Profile
  • View Questions on MKL

Q: Curious to hear your thoughts on starting a position in Markel (about a 3% position). The stock has got beaten up lately and from what I've read some of this weakness seems to be from the Equities they hold being down with the rest of the market when they reported earnings last. Many of these have recovered well. It looks like a good US stock for a TFSA because it doesn't pay a dividend. Planning to hold for 15+ years.
