Pershing Square Bets Big on Meta's AI Growth, Signals Bold Tech Strategy
  • Pershing Square sees undervalued upside in Meta Platforms, arguing the stock price underprices Meta’s long-term AI growth potential.

  • Ackman’s Meta bet fits his broader tech concentration, following prior positions in Amazon and Alphabet and signaling a focused wager on high-quality tech leadership.

  • Investors have scrutinized Meta’s heavy AI-related capex, with guidance for 2026 capital expenditure of $115–$135 billion underscoring a conviction that AI infrastructure will drive future value.

  • Market indicators such as the VIX could help traders identify favorable entry points, as lower volatility may support bullish setups.

  • Trading ideas include longs in FET/USDT and RNDR/BTC, with specific technical levels and the potential for BTC to push above $70,000 if correlations hold.

  • Pershing Square’s activity during the period also included new positions in Amazon and Hertz, reflecting a broader rotation into tech and travel-related equities.

  • The fund highlighted opportunistic entries in 2025, including a mid-year Amazon position taken during volatility to capitalize on expected margin expansion in Amazon’s retail business.

  • Pershing Square’s activist-style approach could catalyze upside momentum and improve liquidity, potentially lifting related sectors and crypto activity.

  • The Meta stake was disclosed at the firm’s annual meeting, with the roughly $2 billion position reflecting a substantial portion of the fund’s capital.

  • Pershing Square delivered strong 2025 performance (about 20.9%) versus the S&P 500, though it faced a downturn in January this year.

  • Last year’s outperformance, with a 20.9% NAV gain versus a 14% S&P rise, reinforces the fund’s conviction in concentrated bets on select tech disruptors.

  • The disclosure process and details were reviewed by Reuters, with insights from Pershing Square’s chief investment officer Ryan Israel.
