Executive Summary
Pershing Square Holdings generated a 20.9% NAV return and a 33.9% total shareholder return in 2025, outperforming the S&P 500 (17.9%). The portfolio underwent significant restructuring: the fund initiated massive stakes in Amazon and Meta Platforms at dislocated valuations, while completely exiting its multi-year positions in Hilton, Chipotle, Canadian Pacific, and Nike. PSH also increased its ownership in Howard Hughes Holdings (HHH) to 47% and backed HHH's definitive $2.1 billion agreement to acquire Vantage Specialty Insurance with up to $1 billion in preferred stock. The manager remains extremely bullish on U.S. macroeconomic conditions for 2026, pointing to deregulation, stable inflation, infrastructure rollouts, and secular AI gains.
