  1. bing news | Bill Ackman Reveals "Important Cornerstone" of SpaceX's Value That Will Surprise Many

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    Bill Ackman has been sounding an alarm about investors’ current obsession with “new‑new” stocks like SpaceX, whose $2 trillion‑plus IPO has drawn feverish attention and driven prices to staggering levels; he argues that this hype may eclipse the more modest but fundamentally solid “old‑school” quality stocks, including the Magnificent Seven, and cautions that the premium placed on novelty could fade as investors recognize the enduring value of established companies. Ackman points out that SpaceX’s massive market cap gives it strategic advantages, such as executing huge all‑stock deals (e.g., the $60 billion acquisition of AI coding startup Cursor) and leveraging its AI arm xAI for synergistic growth, suggesting that while the firm could continue to climb toward even higher valuations, the buzz may eventually settle as the market balances excitement for new ventures against the proven worth of traditional, high‑quality equities.

  2. duckduckgo news | 'The capital will find you': Bill Ackman says what you know is more important than who — and one skill is critical for young people starting out

    Bill Ackman, the 60‑year‑old founder of Pershing Square Capital Management, told James Dumoulin that in business “what you know is more important than who you know,” urging young entrepreneurs to focus on ideas and acquire deep AI knowledge, even learning to code with tools like Claude Code. He cautioned against trying to make money quickly, emphasizing persistence and “never give up” as keys to success, and noted that today’s labor market rewards AI skills with significantly higher wages. Ackman’s own firm recently went public on the NYSE under “PS,” and he, worth about $9 billion, credits his Harvard education, early networking, and a willingness to keep dialing despite rejections for his rise.

  3. BBC News | Universal rejects billionaire Bill Ackman's takeover bid

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    Universal Music Group rejected billionaire Bill Ackman's Pershing Square $64.3 billion takeover offer, saying it fundamentally undervalues the business and is not in the best interests of shareholders, artists, fans and other stakeholders. The board, confident in CEO‑chairman Sir Lucian Grainge’s strategy, highlighted that the firm runs iconic assets such as Abbey Road Studios and labels like EMI and Island Records, and promised enhanced financial disclosures to better assess its value. Ackman had launched the bid in April, arguing the share price had languished due to financial issues unrelated to its music performance, and blamed a large stake held by the Bolloré Group and a delayed NYSE listing for holding the deal back. Bolloré’s chief executive opposed the offer as well. Universal reaffirmed its commitment to leading the global music industry through innovation, signing top talent and deepening fan engagement, amid ongoing industry challenges such as royalty debates and AI‑generated deepfake songs.

  4. qwant news | Bill Ackman built Microsoft stake in first quarter during sell-off, betting on AI and cloud growth

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    Bill Ackman, founder and CEO of Pershing Square, disclosed that his hedge fund began accumulating Microsoft shares in February after the stock fell more than 26% from its July 2025 peak, citing the pullback as a rare chance to buy a dominant tech franchise at a compelling valuation of about 21 times forward earnings. Ackman said investors have over‑reacted to concerns about Microsoft’s AI competitiveness and Azure growth, emphasizing that the company’s M365 suite remains deeply embedded in enterprises thanks to its security, compliance and identity infrastructure, and that its R&D focus on the Copilot AI agent should boost product velocity and customer adoption. He called Microsoft a “core holding” and likened the investment to previous Pershing Square purchases of Alphabet, Amazon and Meta made during periods of AI‑related market skepticism.

  10. #TIL Who the F is #BillAckman and why should I care?

    #Billionaire #HarvardAlum #HedgeFund A-Hole who led the drive to oust those female college presidents for alleged #AntiSemitism and boosted #plagiarism #accusations against ousted #Harvard prez #ClaudineGay is angry people are now leveling similar accusations against his own wife, another #IvyLeague female academic at #MIT

    The prolific #PershingSquare #investor and anti #DEI #blowhard has said of himself “If I think I’m right, I can be the most persistent and most relentless person in America.”

    But he apparently has a thin skin over his wealthy but thick skull too...

    Much of Ackman's latest ire is directed at #BusinessInsider who first published claims Ackman's wife used uncited passages of others works without retribution.
