Pershing Square's (PSH LN) Ackman posts that they will, in a 13F to be filed today, disclose a new position in Microsoft (MSFT). Began building the Microsoft position in February after MSFT's Q2 results and the "meaningful share price decline" thereafter

  • "In our 13F which we will file later today, we will disclose a new position in Microsoft, a company we have followed for many years now offered at a highly compelling valuation."
  • "In our view, investors underestimate the resilience of the M365 franchise given its deeply embedded role across enterprises and highly attractive price-value proposition."
  • Believe that Microsoft offers "analogous and compelling long-term value at today's valuation.", similar to the purchases previously of Alphabet (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN) and Meta (META).
  • Adds that Pershing Square USA (PSUS) "will not be filing a 13F tomorrow", but it has also "recently" made Microsoft a "core holding".
Context

Ackman's disclosure of a new position in Microsoft underscores a strategic investment at a time when the software giant appears attractively valued. This move reinforces the notion that investors may be underestimating the M365 franchise's resilience, aligning Microsoft with prior successful investments in major tech stocks like Alphabet and Amazon. The implications for equity markets are significant as they may signal increased institutional confidence in Microsoft's long-term growth potential, potentially influencing sentiment across the tech sector.
