Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Portfolio Heavily Invested in Four AI Stocks
Billionaire Bill Ackman has concentrated nearly half of his $19.5 billion portfolio at Pershing Square into just four artificial intelligence (AI) stocks: Uber, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta Platforms. As of the June-ended quarter, these companies accounted for 44.4% of the fund's holdings. Ackman is focusing on AI applications rather than infrastructure, a strategy he believes could be more resilient in case of an overvaluation correction or slower-than-expected adoption of AI technologies. These four stocks are seen as leaders with strong competitive advantages and sustainable cash flows across their respective markets—ride-sharing, cloud computing, e-commerce, and social media. The companies have varying forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios ranging from 16.2 for Meta to 24.7 for Amazon. Ackman's strategy highlights a shift in focus toward AI-driven applications rather than the underlying hardware or infrastructure that supports them.
