Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management has revealed its Q2 portfolio, with new stakes in Amazon and increased positions in Alphabet, Hertz Global Holdings, Hilton Worldwide Holdings, and Brookfield Corporation. Ackman has exited his position in Canadian Pacific Kansas City. The top positions in the Pershing Square portfolio include Uber Technologies, Brookfield Corporation, Restaurant Brands International, and Amazon.com.

Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management has revealed its Q2 portfolio, indicating significant changes in its stock holdings. The hedge fund, led by Ackman, disclosed a new stake in Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) and increased positions in Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL), Hertz Global Holdings (NASDAQ:HTZ), Hilton Worldwide Holdings (NYSE:HLT), and Brookfield Corporation (BN.TO). Notably, the fund exited its position in Canadian Pacific Kansas City (NYSE:CP).

The new 13F filing, released on Thursday, shows that Pershing Square added 5,823,316 shares of Amazon, making it one of the top five holdings in the portfolio [1]. Additionally, the hedge fund increased its stake in Alphabet by 21% and in Hertz Global Holdings by 2% [2]. The portfolio also saw an incremental increase in Brookfield Corporation and Hilton Worldwide Holdings.

Uber Technologies (NYSE:UBER) remains Ackman's largest holding, followed by Brookfield Corporation. The combined stakes in Alphabet Class A and Class C would rank third in the portfolio [3]. The new purchase of Amazon makes the ecommerce giant one of the top five holdings.

Ackman's strategic moves reflect his long-term investment approach, focusing on companies with strong growth potential and significant market opportunities. The addition of Amazon and the increased positions in Alphabet and Hertz Global Holdings indicate Ackman's confidence in these companies' future prospects.

The exit from Canadian Pacific Kansas City, a railway operator, suggests a shift in Ackman's strategy or a reassessment of the company's long-term potential. This move aligns with Pershing Square's history of making strategic changes to its portfolio based on evolving market conditions and company performance.
