Investing.com -- Billionaire investor Bill Ackman clarified on Saturday that his hedge fund’s decision to fully liquidate its long-held stake in Google parent Alphabet Inc Class A (NASDAQ:GOOGL) was driven by portfolio rebalancing rather than negative sentiment.
Billionaire investor Bill Ackman said on Saturday that the sale of Google parent Alphabet's shares was not a bet against the company. Ackman on Friday said his firm Pershing Square had built a new position in tech giant Microsoft after its stock price dropped recently, and sold his long-owned investment in Alphabet to help pay for it.
Two of Wall Street's most closely watched billionaire stock pickers, both once voluble activist investors, took opposite tacks this year when Bill Ackman bet on Microsoft and exited Google parent Alphabet and Daniel Loeb did the opposite. Ackman said on X his firm Pershing Square began building a new position in software giant Microsoft in February after shares dropped, saying investors weren't giving it enough credit for its Microsoft 365 office suite and artificial intelligence investments.

Pershing Square Capital Management, the hedge fund run by billionaire Bill Ackman, added Microsoft as a core holding during the first quarter of 2026, betting that the software giant will be a winner in the artificial-intelligence race.

The top holding was Brookfield , valued at roughly $2.42 billion; followed by Amazon valued at $2.39 billion; and Uber valued at $2.15 billion.
