Pershing Square Holdings

Bill Ackman's Pershing Square sold its entire stake in Alphabet, trimmed Amazon, and bought an additional 553,000 Microsoft shares, making Microsoft the fund's largest AI position at $2.3 billion (6.2 million shares). Pershing cites strong Azure growth, popular M365 products and positive free cash flow — Microsoft reported $90 billion revenue for the quarter, $35.76 billion net income, and $19.6 billion in free cash flow — as the rationale for concentrating AI exposure in Microsoft. The fund views Azure as well positioned amid supply-constrained compute markets and expects Copilot-driven adoption to further entrench Microsoft 365. » Altro su finance.yahoo.com
