The mechanics are counterintuitive. When hyperscalers buy NVIDIA chips manufactured by TSMC in Taiwan and servers assembled overseas, that spending lands in the import column, which subtracts from GDP. The ...

Investing.com -- Pershing Square disclosed a new position in Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT) on Friday, with billionaire investor Bill Ackman citing the recent market volatility as an opportunity to acquire what he described as a dominant franchise at an attractive valuation.

Figma (NYSE: FIG) has had one of the wildest post-IPO rides in recent memory. After debuting at $33 in July 2025, the stock soared to nearly $143 before crashing to around $20. That’s an 88% collapse from peak levels, despite the business itself continuing to grow rapidly.

Bill Ackman announced on social media that his hedge fund Pershing Square will disclose a new position in Microsoft in a 13F filing with regulators today. Microsoft has been an outlier in the tech trade that has carried markets higher this year. "We began building our position in MSFT in February following a meaningful share price decline after the company reported its fiscal Q2 2026 results," Ackman wrote in a post on X. "We were able to establish our position at a valuation of 21 times forward earnings, broadly in line with the market multiple and well below Microsoft's trading average over the last few years."

The investor says the tech company is underpriced, and he will disclose the stake in regulatory filings later Friday.

Bill Ackman's hedge fund Pershing Square will disclose a ‌new position in Microsoft later in ‌the day, the billionaire investor said on Friday, arguing ​that the tech giant sits at a "highly compelling valuation". Ackman's new closed-end fund Pershing Square USA, which debuted on the NYSE ‌last month, has ⁠also recently made Microsoft a core holding, he said in a ⁠post on social media platform X. Pershing's bet on Microsoft comes amid Ackman's growing ​appetite for ​tech holdings.
