Bill Ackman Allocates 30% of Portfolio to AI Stocks Amazon and Uber
Billionaire investor Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management continues to outperform benchmarks, beating the S&P 500 by 7 percentage points last year and 19 points over five years. His current portfolio reveals a concentrated bet on artificial intelligence, with 30% allocated across two positions.
Amazon commands 9% of Ackman's holdings, leveraging AI across its e-commerce empire and cloud division. Morgan Stanley analyst Brian Nowak identifies untapped potential in Amazon's retail segment, where generative AI could boost operating margins by several percentage points through supply chain optimization and customer experience enhancements.
The larger position—21% of Ackman's portfolio—resides in Uber. While the original text cuts off before detailing Uber's AI strategy, the ride-hailing giant employs machine learning for dynamic pricing, route optimization, and matching algorithms that underpin its platform economics.
