This billionaire’s portfolio is world-famous: Bill Ackman (58) invested his money in just a few individual stocks. The investor is the founder and CEO of the hedge fund Pershing Square Capital Management, where he manages around $15 billion. With success: According to Forbes, his assets are around nine billion US dollars.

Like many other institutional investors with a certain level of investment, Ackman recently had to disclose to the US Securities and Exchange Commission via a 13F filing which US stocks are currently in his portfolio and what movements took place in the third quarter.

Billionaire Bill Ackman invested in these few stocks

The largest position in billionaire Bill Ackman’s portfolio is the Brookfield Corporation. This is a Canadian asset management company that, according to Motley Fool, aims to provide investors with a return of over 15 percent in the long term. In many ways, it is similar to Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway in that it relies on companies with recurring revenues and solid cash flows that can put their capital to productive use. It seems to be working: the stock is already up over 50 percent since the beginning of the year. However, Ackman increased the position again by 377 percent. Based on the current share price, he’s upped the ante for a quick $1.5 billion! The majority of analysts are optimistic and recommend buying the stock, with an average price target of $63 seeing a twelve percent chance of upside.

At its second largest position, Hilton worldwidehe sold 18 percent of his shares. This may be a case of profit-taking, as the share price has gained over 40 percent since the beginning of the year. Additionally, the company recently announced that it increased its share repurchase program by $3.5 billion. However, the price fantasy may be limited for now. The majority recommend holding here and even see single-digit downside potential with an average price target of $239.

The positions Chipotle Mexican, Restaurant Brands International and Howard Hughes The billionaire left it (virtually) unchanged. Also his shares in Google parent alphabetin which he holds both A and C shares, as well as the shares of Canadian Pacific Kansas City, remained almost unchanged or changed only minimally.

However, things get exciting with the following two candidates…

A billionaire is buying up this world-famous stock – and he is buying this stock completely new

Having only bought it in the last quarter, the billionaire seems more than enthusiastic about this stock: in the third quarter he increased his position in sporting goods manufacturers Nike by a whopping 345 percent. At the current price, that corresponds to a value of almost one billion US dollars. It’s a bit surprising: the share price has been down a good 30 percent since the beginning of the year. The latest figures at the beginning of October for the first quarter of the new financial year were not well recorded and the forecast for the full year was withdrawn.

However, the new CEO appointment in mid-October gave hope: Elliott Hill, who once started as an intern at Nike and knows the company inside out, now has the reins in his hands. In addition, the share is currently cheaply valued: the P/E ratio of 24 is well below the average of the past ten years of 38. Analysts calculated an average loss in sales and profits for the current figure. Things could look up again the following year. 21 analysts currently rate the stock as a buy, 21 as a hold and two as a sell. A price target of $92 offers over 20 percent room for improvement.

If there is a new addition to this small portfolio, it will be something hot. But over two million shares of Seaport Entertainment Group actually made it onto the billionaire’s radar in the third quarter. But this is mainly because this is a spin-off from Howard Hughes, which has been traded on the stock exchange since August 2024. Therefore, this share will automatically have become the property of Bill Ackman.
