5. Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META)

Pershing Square’s Stake: $1.8 Billion

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) is a relatively new addition to the 13F portfolio of Pershing Square. Filings for the fourth quarter of 2025 show that the fund owned 2.67 million shares in the company. The firm engages in the development of products that enable people to connect and share with friends and family through mobile devices, personal computers, virtual reality (VR) headsets, and AI glasses in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and internationally. Smart money managers are continuing to accumulate the stock, viewing it as a top-tier AI monetization play.

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) has been making large scale efforts to achieve AI independence. Earlier this month, reports surfaced regarding Meta’s expanded partnership with Broadcom to develop custom AI chips (ASICs). Analysts from Barclays and Morgan Stanley have noted that custom silicon could drastically lower Meta’s long-term capital expenditures and dependency on NVIDIA’s H100/B200 chips, protecting Meta’s industry-leading margins. The firm has also emerged as the clear winner in the AI-driven advertising recovery. By using its Llama models to automate ad creative and targeting, the company has significantly improved ROI for advertisers. In late April, Barclays reaffirmed a Buy rating, citing record-breaking app downloads and high engagement across Instagram and Threads, which are successfully capturing market share from smaller social media rivals.

4. Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL)

Pershing Square’s Stake: $1.9 Billion

Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) has been a mainstay in the 13F portfolio of Pershing Square since the first quarter of 2023. Back then, this position comprised just over 8 million shares. In the second quarter of 2023, the fund added to this position, growing it by more than 16% to just under 10 million shares.

Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) is grabbing headlines after investing heavily in AI chips to bypass reliance on NVIDIA. Earlier this month, Google Cloud unveiled TPU v8, split into training 8t and inference 8i chips. This custom silicon allows Google to run AI models at a significantly lower cost than competitors relying solely on third-party GPUs, a move BMO Capital recently called a structural margin advantage. The Cloud segment of the firm is also in the middle of blockbuster deals with Thinking Machines Lab and a potential $1 billion partnership with Merck. Analysts expect Google Cloud growth to exceed 50% year-over-year in Q1 2026, driven by the new Gemini Agent platform which allows enterprises to build autonomous AI workers.

3. Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN)

Pershing Square’s Stake: $2.2 Billion

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) first appeared in the 13F portfolio of Pershing Square in the second quarter of 2025. Back then, this position comprised 5.8 million shares. No activity was registered against this position in the third quarter of 2025. In the fourth quarter of 2025, however, the fund added to this holding by 65%, growing the stake to 9.6 million shares.

Wall Street interest in Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock is by the pivot of the firm from an e-commerce giant to a global leader in AI infrastructure. Hedge funds are betting that the investments of the company in data centers and AI will yield structurally higher margins as AWS captures the majority of enterprise generative AI workloads. A recent agreement by Amazon to invest up to an additional $25 billion in Anthropic, totaling over $33 billion, is seen as a demand lock. There is also renewed focus on the monetization of Rufus, the AI shopping assistant, which now serves 300 million users.  Amazon’s advertising business, boosted by the ad-supported Prime Video tier reaching 315 million viewers, is now its fastest-growing high-margin segment, providing the cash flow to fund its AI ambitions.

2. Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:UBER)

Pershing Square’s Stake: $2.5 Billion

Uber Technologies, Inc.(NYSE:UBER) has been a mainstay in the 13F portfolio of Pershing Square since the first quarter of 2025. Back then, this position consisted of 30.3 million shares. Filings for the fourth quarter of 2025 show that the fund owns 30.1 million shares in the company, roughly the same as in the third quarter of 2025. The firm develops and operates proprietary technology applications in the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia Pacific. The company connects consumers with a range of transportation modalities, such as ridesharing, carsharing, micromobility, rentals, public transit, taxis, and other modalities.

Uber Technologies, Inc.(NYSE:UBER) is in the middle of a transformation from a gig labor business into an autonomous vehicle and high-margin advertising powerhouse. Earlier this month, Uber expanded a commitment to Lucid, now holding an 11.5% stake in the EV maker. This deal secures a pipeline of at least 35,000 robotaxis, including the Lucid Gravity and a new midsize platform, that Uber will operate directly. Unlike Tesla, which builds its own cars, top investors value this partnership first model. By integrating platforms like Waymo, Nuro, and Coco Robotics, the latter launched with Uber Eats in San Jose this week, Uber acts as the operating system for autonomous trips without the risk of manufacturing failures.

1. Brookfield Corporation (NYSE:BN)

Brookfield Corporation (NYSE:BN) has a new engine driving growth in recent years. This is the insurance and wealth management arm of the firm.
