Pershing Square Holdings William A. Ackman | “BN's share price decreased 7% year-to-date as of June 30, 2026. Strong company performance has been overshadowed by sector-wide concerns including the durability of business development companies as a growth vector, and the risk to asset managers who have high investment allocations to private credit and/or software companies which may be at risk for disintermediation. Importantly, Brookfield has immaterial exposure to these risks and has accordingly outperformed peers year-to-date. We believe Brookfield remains on track for mid-teens-or-better distributable EPS growth this year, dependent on the exact pace of BN's carried interest realizations which should meaningfully accelerate over the next several quarters. BN trades at 14 times our earnings estimate, a low multiple given our views on growth and business quality.” | BULL | Q2 2026 Aug 13, 2026 | View Pitch |
Zelikovic Investments Yoav Zelikovic | “Brookfield Corporation (BN), a Canadian investment management company that controls a number of subsidiaries, such as Brookfield Asset Management, Brookfield Reinsurance and other companies engaged in the energy, real estate and finance sector. The new Ceo, Connor Teskey, who in February 2026 replaced the legendary CEO, Bruce Flatt. During Flatt's tenure as CEO the company's stock price increased by an average of 19% since 2002. Brookfield continues to increase the AUM (Assets Under Management) on average by ~20% per annum. As company shareholders, we share in the management and success fees that they charge their clients. Brookfield also continues to invest in AI beneficiaries, primarily data centers. The stock value of the parent company, BN, decreased by 21% in 2025 and another 3% YTD, despite double digit growth in earnings. This company aims to adopt the Berkshire Hathaway model and we will be their very satisfied partners if they succeed in doing so.” | NEUTRAL | Q2 2026 Aug 3, 2026 | View Pitch |
Pershing Square Holdings William A. Ackman | “Brookfield benefited from improving fundraising trends and realization activity across its private funds. Management continues to recycle capital into higher-return opportunities while maintaining a strong balance sheet. The company's exposure to real assets and long-duration infrastructure provides inflation protection and stable fee-related earnings growth. BSD Analysis: Brookfield is capitalizing on a once-in-a-generation investment supercycle in 2026, driven by the massive infrastructure requirements of the AI revolution and the global transition to clean energy. The company is leveraging its one trillion dollar asset base to meet explosive demand for data centers and renewables, with its 2026 outlook highlighting grid modernization and "behind-the-meter" generation as primary growth catalysts. Management expects to maintain a 28 percent compound annual growth rate in distributable earnings, fueled by its expanding Wealth Solutions business and a shift toward business transformation in its private equity arm. While high-interest rates remain a factor, Brookfield's disciplined capital recycling and focus on inflation-indexed revenue streams provide a resilient floor for total returns. As institutional allocations to infrastructure and credit continue to rise, Brookfield's role as a premier global owner-operator makes it a top-tier pick for the current structural shift in the global economy.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Feb 18, 2026 | View Pitch |
Pershing Square Holdings William A. Ackman | “Leading asset-rich alternative asset manager with deep domain expertise Attractive long-term financial outlook Owns 73% of $84bn publicly-listed asset manager (Brookfield Asset Management) with significant value derived from asset-light, recurring management fee streams We believe that deep domain expertise and best-in-class returns position Brookfield to benefit from multi-trillion-dollar wave of AI-related infrastructure investment Financial profile poised to inflect in the near-term Double-digit earnings growth in 2025 below structural potential as carried interest still below target and Brookfield invests for growth Near-term outlook supports acceleration to ~25%+ earnings growth Growth supported by a step-function increase in carried interest realization and the rapid scaling of BN's Wealth Solutions business Management targeting nearly $7 of earnings-per-share in 2030, or ~25% compounded BN's valuation of ~ x earnings remains a discount to our estimate of intrinsic value and comparable US-peers BSD Analysis: Brookfield is positioning itself as a primary beneficiary of a generation-defining investment supercycle driven by the convergence of AI, decarbonization, and deglobalization. The company is leveraging its massive one trillion dollar asset base to meet explosive demand for digital infrastructure and clean energy, with its 2026 outlook highlighting renewables as a critical cost advantage for data centers. Management's disciplined capital recycling strategy and operational focus are expected to drive robust free cash flow growth even as global interest rates remain elevated. With a diversified portfolio spanning infrastructure, private equity, and real estate, Brookfield offers a resilient model that pairs stable, inflation-linked returns with high-growth thematic exposures. As price discovery in the real estate sector stabilizes, the firm is well-positioned to capitalize on high-quality logistics and housing assets.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Feb 18, 2026 | View Pitch |
Pershing Square Holdings William A. Ackman | “Brookfield Corporation, headquartered in Toronto, Canada, stands as a preeminent global alternative asset manager and operator, harnessing a vast permanent capital base of over $180 billion to invest in and scale high-quality businesses across infrastructure, renewable power, private equity, real estate, and beyond. With more than $1 trillion in assets under management through its majority-owned asset management arm and a growing $135 billion insurance solutions platform, the company deploys patient, opportunistic capital into real assets that power the global economy. Brookfield's culture of disciplined value creation and long-term stewardship serves as its bedrock competitive moat. We are confident that Brookfield is on track to achieve its ambitious five-year targets, supported by robust fundraising, accelerating fee-related earnings growth, and disciplined deployment of capital at attractive internal rates of return. Under the steady hand of CEO Bruce Flatt, Brookfield exemplifies the rare blend of scale, sophistication, and shareholder alignment that defines exceptional businesses. BSD Analysis: Brookfield is one of the world's most sophisticated alternative-asset managers, specializing in hard assets with long-duration cash flows. Infrastructure, renewable power, private credit, and real estate form a diversified engine that thrives on scale and operational expertise. Brookfield benefits from volatility because distress creates buying opportunities for patient capital. Fee-related earnings are growing steadily while balance-sheet investments add upside. The organization's capital allocation discipline is a true moat. Complexity keeps the valuation discounted. Brookfield is a long-term compounding machine for investors willing to think in decades.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Feb 18, 2026 | View Pitch |
Qualivian Investment Partners Aamer Khan and Cyril Malak | “Brookfield Corp is an alternative asset manager operating across three core pillars: Asset Management, Wealth Solutions, and a high-quality portfolio of Operating Businesses. The company provides stable, inflation-linked cash flows and permanent insurance float capital while compounding distributable earnings in the low-to-mid-teens.” | BULL | Q3 2025 Dec 1, 2025 | View Pitch |
Alphyn Capital Management Samer Hakoura | “Brookfield is executing well on its long-term growth plan, fueled by strong asset management inflows and the scaling of its insurance business. The alignment of stable, long-duration insurance liabilities with infrastructure assets enhances overall capital efficiency. Furthermore, its approach to the massive AI infrastructure opportunity is de-risked through long-term, contracted commitments with financially robust hyperscalers.” | BULL | Q3 2025 Oct 1, 2025 | View Pitch |
Alphyn Capital Management Samer Hakoura | “The Brookfield machine continues to compound intrinsic value, delivering robust Q2 results across its diversified platform. Distributable earnings (DE) before realizations grew 13% year-over-year, driven by nearly $100 billion in capital inflows over the last twelve months, demonstrating the strength of its ecosystem spanning real assets, insurance, and credit. At its recent Investor Day, management once again laid out an ambitious plan targeting a 25% annualized growth in DE per share through 2030. This plan anticipates generating $53 billion in free cash flow, leaving $25 billion in excess cash available for opportunistic buybacks and M&A. Management is aggressively scaling the Wealth Solutions platform and investing insurance float, now calling itself an “investment-led insurance organization.” This makes sense as Brookfield's long-dated, stable life insurance liabilities align well with its expertise in investing in long-duration, essential real assets like infrastructure and renewables. This matching of duration and risk profile enhances capital efficiency and supports the scaling of BAM's funds without materially altering the overall risk profile. Management is also leaning heavily into the multi-trillion-dollar capital requirements for AI infrastructure. In an environment where “AI” attracts significant hype and speculative investment, Brookfield's approach is distinctly de-risked. They are building essential infrastructure such as data centers and the renewable power required to run them, underpinned by long-term commitments from the financially strong hyperscalers, such as a 3,000 MW hydroelectric framework with Google and a 10.5 GW renewable agreement with Microsoft. BSD Analysis: Brookfield's growth algorithm—fundraising, fee-bearing capital, and insurance float—supports DE compounding while preserving balance sheet flexibility for buybacks/M&A. The AI-infrastructure angle is underwritten by investment-grade counterparties and long-duration contracts, reducing project risk. The $53B FCF target and $25B excess cash create multiple levers for shareholder returns. Watch insurance ALM and credit cycle risks; otherwise, the setup favors sustained fee and carry growth. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}” | BULL | Q3 2025 Oct 1, 2025 | View Pitch |
Alphyn Capital Management Samer Hakoura | “The Brookfield machine kept humming in the quarter. Distributable earnings climbed 27 % to $1.55bn. Fee related earnings hit a record $698m at a 57 % margin, while fee bearing capital reached $549bn. Management closed two new $16bn flagship funds and raised roughly $25bn of total commitments, further enlarging the base of steady, compounding fees that do not depend on exit markets. Brookfield also agreed to buy a majority stake in Angel Oak, an $18bn mortgage credit platform that will seed a new lending strategy. Insurance and operating platforms continue to extend Brookfield's runway. Insurance generated $430m of earnings on $133bn of assets, backed by $4bn of new annuity sales and a 5.7 % portfolio yield that sits 180 bp above the cost of funds. Looking beyond the quarter, Bruce Flatt recently re-emphasized the three structural tailwinds Brookfield is leaning into, digitization, decarbonization, and deglobalization. Many of the investable assets tied to these themes did not exist at scale two decades ago, yet they now represent expanding opportunity sets that play directly to Brookfield's strengths. Critics often seize on the firm's complexity, a trait that can attract the occasional short-seller attack, but Mr. Flatt maintains the same architecture lets management shift capital among listed partnerships, private funds, and the insurance balance sheet wherever risk-adjusted returns look best and wherever the market is willing to ascribe value (such as with high multiples for asset-light managers). That flexibility has helped Brookfield compound capital at roughly 19 % annually over the past 30 years. BSD Analysis: Brookfield is the global private-capital machine swallowing every real asset it touches — infrastructure, renewables, private credit, real estate, data centers. Fee-related earnings continue to scale, performance fees are building, and Brookfield has more dry powder than almost any asset manager on Earth. Higher rates hurt pretenders — they help Brookfield, because distress creates opportunity. The market still discounts the complexity, but Brookfield's structure is a feature, not a bug. This is one of the cleanest long-term compounders in alternatives.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jul 1, 2025 | View Pitch |
Hardman Johnston Global Equity Cassandra A. Hardman | “Brookfield Corp.'s forward growth prospects were called into question as market volatility heightened early in the second quarter, driven by escalating global tariff tensions. In this environment, we anticipate the potential of a prolonged slowdown in capital markets activity, which we believe would delay both monetization and fundraising efforts. Given these headwinds, we made the decision to exit the position. BSD Analysis: Brookfield is a unique, best-in-class asset manager that functions as a publicly-traded, LBO-style holding company, offering investors leveraged, long-duration exposure to essential global assets. The core thesis is the relentless growth of its Asset Management (BAM) fee income, which is insulated by massive, long-term fund commitments (e.g., 15-year lock-ups) and drives predictable, high-margin cash flow. The company's 81% Gross Margin is testament to its scale and fee capture dominance. Crucially, the corporate balance sheet holds $88 billion in investment assets that are currently undervalued by the market, providing a significant "sum-of-the-parts" discount to the share price. This vast, high-quality asset base—spanning renewable power, infrastructure, private equity, and real estate—provides a resilient stream of capital and investment opportunities. Brookfield is a pure, compounder-style stock, using its powerful cash flow engine and strategic asset disposals to continuously redeploy capital into high-conviction, high-return private market opportunities.” | BEAR | Q2 2025 Jun 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
