Billionaire investor Bill Ackman revealed that his hedge fund, Pershing Square Capital Management, has taken a new position in Microsoft, valuing the stock as highly compelling. Ackman highlighted Microsoft's dominant enterprise software products, Microsoft 365 and Azure, which generate about 70% of the company's profits. He emphasized the long-term growth potential driven by cloud migration and AI demand, noting recent investments in AI tools like Copilot. Ackman started building the position after a share price drop post Microsoft's Q2 2026 results, buying at a forward earnings multiple of 21 times. Microsoft shares rose 3% following the news, reflecting investor confidence in its resilient business model and cloud expansion plans.
