Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman said his firm has taken a new position in Microsoft backing the company to be an artificial-intelligence winner. Ackman, who runs investment management firm Pershing Square Inc., said he had started building the position in Microsoft in February after the software giant fell in the wake of its earnings. “In our 13F which we will file later today, we will disclose a new position in Microsoft, a company we have followed for many years now offered at a highly compelling valuation,” Ackman wrote on social-media platform X on Friday.
