Bill Ackman's 5 biggest stock holdings

I won't keep you in suspense. Here are Ackman's five largest stock holdings right now, according to Pershing Square's latest 13-F filing:

Data source: Pershing Square SEC Filings. Market value, ownership percentage as of 6/30/2025.

One interesting takeaway is that Ackman's three largest positions are all relatively new and were added to the portfolio within the past few years. It's worth noting that Ackman significantly increased the Howard Hughes stake during the second quarter in a deal that also saw Ackman become executive chairman of the business.

As a final thought, it's not a great idea to buy these -- or any other -- stocks just because a billionaire investor owns them. Ackman and Pershing Square's clients generally have a higher risk tolerance than the average investor, so keep this in mind.

However, looking at what billionaires are putting their own money into can be an excellent starting point to help you find stocks. Take a closer look at these stocks to see if they might be a good fit for you.
