Ah, the thrilling tale of Billionaire Bill Ackman and his daring dalliance with three assets in a massive bet on tech, mobility, and grub!
Pershing Square Capital, the hedge fund helmed by our dear Bill, has allocated nearly half of its $11.9 billion portfolio into just three assets, as revealed by SEC filings.
The largest allocation, you ask? Why, none other than the rideshare giant Uber, with a whopping $2.8 billion invested, or 18.5% of its portfolio, holding 30.3 million shares. Quite the coup, wouldn’t you say?
Uber’s strength lies in its dominant driving platform, fueled by network effects that attract more drivers and riders, alongside its growing profitability and robust cash flow generation. A veritable feast for the eyes, indeed!
But wait, there’s more! Pershing now holds an estimated 18,984,772 shares of Chipotle Mexican Grill, representing 9.07% of its portfolio, valued at just over $1 billion. A spicy investment, if you will!
Chipotle’s scalable, health-focused fast-casual model leverages strong brand loyalty and operational efficiency to drive consistent growth, although the company has faced challenges like tariff-related cost pressures and weaker 2025 foot traffic. A bit of a sour note, but we mustn’t let it dampen our spirits!
Lastly, Pershing Square Capital has committed 14% of its portfolio, approximately $1.6 billion, to Google’s parent company Alphabet. A bet on the tech giant’s continued dominance, fueled by cloud computing, artificial intelligence, ad services, and YouTube, bolstered by high switching costs and data-driven network effects, although the firm continues to fight ongoing antitrust challenges. A true test of wit and cunning!
