Ackman weighs standalone vehicle to bet on market complacency

Bill Ackman is in talks to launch a new stand-alone fund that would place asymmetric bets against prevailing market narratives, echoing the pandemic-era doomsday trades that generated huge windfalls for Pershing Square. The strategy would use derivatives and short-term US debt before deploying into large credit and macro bets, potentially via an Amsterdam-listed vehicle, while Ackman also pursues growth ahead of a public listing and broader conglomerate moves amid recent fund-performance headwinds.

Ackman Takes Pershing Square Public in Dual IPO Push

Bill Ackman is pursuing a dual IPO of Pershing Square Inc. and the Pershing Square USA fund on the NYSE, aiming to raise $5–$10 billion for the fund and list the management company; after a failed 2024 listing attempt, he has about $2.8 billion in institutional commitments, with the structure offering investors shares in the management company and testing public appetite for Ackman’s hedge-fund empire, potentially valuing the operation well above prior highs (well over $10 billion) if demand holds.

Hedge Funds Turn Bullish on Nvidia Ahead of Q4 Report

Ahead of Nvidia’s Q4 FY2026 report (due Feb 25), hedge funds increased NVDA holdings by about 1.6 million shares, lifting the Hedge Fund Confidence Signal to Positive and signaling optimism on AI‑chip and data‑center demand. Wall Street expects EPS of $1.52 and revenue of $65.67B, and TipRanks’ consensus shows Nvidia as a Strong Buy with a target of $261.84 (~39% upside).

Ackman Bets Big on Meta as AI Selloff Tests Markets

Hedge fund Pershing Square, led by Bill Ackman, posted a 34% return last year and is backing a roughly $2 billion stake in Meta Platforms, arguing that AI-driven efficiency and long‑term upside justify the bet despite an AI-driven market selloff. Ackman positions Meta as a Buffett-like value play at about 27x earnings, noting recent AI spending could pay off over time. The move follows prior bets such as on Amazon, and adds a concentrated, high-conviction stake to Pershing’s portfolio.

ImmunityBio's 700% Revenue Surge Spurs Hedge Fund Bets on Anktiva

ImmunityBio reported 2025 revenue of about $113 million, a 700% year-over-year increase, with Q4 revenue of $38.3 million up 431% driven by rapid scaling of lead oncology therapy Anktiva; major funds such as Citadel and Renaissance increased their holdings, signaling investors are betting on faster commercialization rather than trial risk as the stock climbs year-to-date.

Saks Bond Debacle Delivers Penny-Price Lessons to Hedge Funds

Saks Bond Debacle Delivers Penny-Price Lessons to Hedge Funds

Saks Global Enterprises filed for Chapter 11 after a cash bleed from its Neiman Marcus deal, leaving distressed bonds once snapped up by hedge funds trading at pennies on the dollar. The post-bankruptcy financing package totals about $1.75 billion (including $1.5 billion from senior secured lenders), which could support a turnaround, but recoveries for unsecured creditors and equity holders remain highly uncertain as lenders weigh their bets and challengers like Amazon push back on funding access. This episode underscores the risk of “catching a falling knife” in debt markets.
