Bill Ackman’s Pershing Square has taken a position at Microsoft, the billionaire hedge fund manager said in a post on X on Friday.
“As the two great forces in the stock market converge – the growth of index ownership and the growth of capital controlled by highly short-term oriented, highly leveraged investors with no tolerance for volatility, opportunities occasionally emerge to acquire some of the most dominant long-term compounding franchises at attractive valuations,” the post said. “The 13F filing later today will reveal the new position of Microsoft, which we have been following for many years, and will be presented at a very compelling valuation.”
Ackman didn’t say how big the tech giant’s stake is, but called it a “core holding.”
