In this article, we discuss the Best Long-Term Stocks to Buy According to Bill Ackman.

Bill Ackman, the billionaire chief of Pershing Square, has emerged as a dominant voice in the global markets. During a high-profile roadshow conversation with Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev earlier this month, Ackman detailed his vision for the fund, a new permanent capital vehicle designed to bypass traditional redemption risks. He famously told Tenev that despite geopolitical tensions, “the best businesses in the world were at some of the lowest valuations in their history.” He emphasized that the current risk premium created by the Middle East conflict was an opportunity for those with long-term horizons, stating, “uncertainty should fade over time,” and that he planned to deploy billions into large-cap stocks “within weeks”.

The billionaire noted that his 2026 philosophy was anchored in “clarity and concentration,” moving away from the broad diversification that he believed “dilutes real wealth creation.” He has been vocal about his shift into a “Berkshire Hathaway-style” model, aiming to use his management company as an engine for acquiring controlling stakes in durable businesses. He warned investors in April that “the biggest mistake was thinking you’ll get another chance at a great business when the price looks a little high today,” urging a focus on business quality over short-term price movements. As he moves toward a dual IPO of both his management firm and his new fund, Ackman remains defiant against recession fears.

In 2024 and 2025, Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:HTZ) had made a costly and rapid push into Electric Vehicles (EVs) that led to high repair costs and depreciation. This year, the firm seems to be in course correction mode. It has been liquidating high-maintenance EVs and returning to internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to stabilize its margins. A new strategic alliance announced earlier this month integrates Hertz into T-Mobile’s Un-carrier lifestyle perks. Top investors view this as a low-cost customer acquisition engine that could drive higher utilization rates during the peak 2026 summer travel season.

The $250 Trillion AI Hype is Real. A few years from now, you’ll probably wish you’d bought this stock.

When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard.

Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences.

At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000.

Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040.

Put another way, that’s roughly equal to:

  • 175 Teslas
  • 107 Amazons
  • 140 Metas
  • 84 Googles
  • 65 Microsofts
  • And 55 Nvidias

And here’s the wild part — this $250 trillion wave isn’t tied to one company, but to an entire ecosystem of AI innovators set to reshape the global economy.

It’s a leap so massive, it could reshape how businesses, governments, and consumers operate worldwide.

Even if that $250 trillion figure sounds ambitious, major firms like PwC and McKinsey still see AI unlocking multi-trillion-dollar potential.

How could anything be worth that much?

The answer lies in a breakthrough so powerful it’s redefining how humanity works, learns, and creates.

And this breakthrough has already set off a frenzy among hedge funds and Wall Street’s top investors.

What most investors don’t realize is that one under-owned company holds the key to this $250 trillion revolution.

In fact, Verge argues this company’s supercheap AI technology should concern rivals.

Before I reveal the details, let’s talk about how some of the richest people on the planet are positioning themselves.

  • Bill Gates sees artificial intelligence as the “biggest technological advance in my lifetime,” more transformative than the internet or personal computer, capable of improving healthcare, education, and addressing climate change.
  • Larry Ellison — through Oracle, is spending billions on Nvidia chips and partnering with Cohere to embed generative AI across Oracle’s cloud and apps.
  • Warren Buffett — not known for tech hype — says this breakthrough could have a ‘hugely beneficial social impact.

When billionaires from Silicon Valley to Wall Street line up behind the same idea — you know it’s worth paying attention to.

Even as we admire what Tesla, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft have built, we believe an even greater opportunity lies elsewhere…

But the real story isn’t Nvidia — it’s a much smaller company quietly improving the critical technology that makes this entire revolution possible.

And judging by what I’m hearing from both Silicon Valley insiders and Wall Street veterans…
