Pershing Square Capital Management Increases Stake in Microsoft
Pershing Square Capital Management (PSCM), managed by billionaire Bill Ackman, has announced a new position in Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT). This move comes as the fund, which has a portfolio valued at approximately $15.5 billion, focuses on “Magnificent Seven” stocks. By the end of 2025, Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta made up 39.4% of PSCM’s holdings.
Ackman’s team began acquiring Microsoft shares in February 2026, taking advantage of a 23% decline in the company’s stock during the first quarter, its worst performance since 2008. Microsoft 365 and Azure, which contribute roughly 70% of the company’s earnings, are seen as key drivers of future growth. The investment’s timing aligns with ongoing trends in enterprise IT and AI demand.
Updates on PSCM’s complete holdings will be released later today, May 15, 2026. Additionally, Ackman’s new closed-end fund, Pershing Square USA, has also made Microsoft a core holding.
