Buy MSFT at 21x forward earnings; concerns over M365/Azure are overblown given embedded enterprise dominance, OpenAI stake valued at ~$200B, and Azure's 39% revenue growth with accelerating capex.

PSUS is a superior closed-end fund.
Pershing Square USA (PSUS) is a unique closed-end fund that differs fundamentally from typical closed-end funds in terms of governance, scale, strategy, and performance. It has generated a 25% annual return versus the average 7% for equity closed-end funds. The oversubscribed IPO, combined with a gift of management company shares (Pershing Square Inc.) for every five shares purchased, makes it an attractive long-term investment and structurally less likely to trade at a discount.

Cheap high quality stocks to add
Uber and Meta are among the best businesses in the world trading at historically low multiples. Pershing Square plans to add to existing positions, taking advantage of these cheap prices to increase ownership. The go-forward projected IRR is in the mid-twenties, indicating a very high rate of return for high-quality companies.

Building a modern Berkshire Hathaway
Howard Hughes Holdings (HHH) is being built into a modern-day Berkshire Hathaway-like diversified holding company. Pershing Square has taken a significant stake and management role, and has signed a deal to acquire an insurance subsidiary (Vantage Holdings) to deploy permanent capital. This structure allows long-term compounding similar to Buffett's model.

Buy UMG for US listing value unlock
Universal Music Group is undervalued due to its European listing in Amsterdam, loss of shareholder confidence, and underutilized assets like its Spotify stake. A move to a U.S. listing, a more aggressive buyback program, and a refreshed board would unlock significant value. Ackman's proposed transaction includes canceling 17% of outstanding shares, migrating the listing, and improving shareholder communication.

The author believes the current military conflict will be contained and targeted, suggesting the market's geopolitical risk premium (e.g., in oil) is likely overstated.

Any potential drop in oil prices from news of an Iranian nuclear deal should be faded, as the agreement is unreliable and the geopolitical risk premium will return.
