Extended read
Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management made notable portfolio adjustments in Q1 2025, significantly increasing its stakes in Microsoft and Amazon. The move into Microsoft was reportedly driven by attractive valuations following a software sector selloff, while the Amazon additions were linked to accelerating AI integration within the company. Conversely, Pershing Square drastically reduced its exposure to Alphabet, slashing its stake by 95%. This reallocation reflects a strategic bet on specific large-cap tech names with strong AI growth prospects.
