AMZN--
According to the latest 13F filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Pershing Square has accumulated 5,823,316 shares of Amazon (AMZN), a stake valued at $1.27 billion as of Q2 2025 [1]. This investment accounts for nearly 10% of the firm's $13.7 billion total assets under management. Additionally, Pershing Square has increased its holdings in Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) by 925,000 shares, taking its total to 5,362,980, valued at $945.11 million [1].
The firm also added 29,808 shares of Hilton Worldwide (HLT), a global hotel and hospitality chain, lifting its position to 3,030,578 shares valued at $807 million [2]. Meanwhile, Pershing Square raised its stake in Hertz Global Holdings (HTZ), a car rental company operating across North America and Europe, by 241,127 shares in Q2, increasing its holdings to 15,241,127, worth $104 million [2].
However, Pershing Square has also made significant exits. The firm completely liquidated its 14,799,796-share position in the railway firm Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CP.TO), which had been worth more than $1 billion at the end of Q1 2025 [1].
Ackman is known for his high-conviction bets and has demonstrated confidence in the growth potential of these companies. His latest move into Amazon and increased stakes in other companies reflect this confidence. The complete sell-off in Canadian Pacific Kansas City, however, indicates a shift in investment strategy, possibly due to changing market dynamics or company-specific factors.
