Bill Ackman Makes Major Move with $2B Investment in Meta
Evercore ISI senior managing director Mark Mahaney joins ‘Varney & Co.’ to break down Meta’s A.I.-driven earnings surge and explain why Amazon remains his top tech pick.
Billionaire investor and hedge fund manager Bill Ackman is making a significant bet on the future of Mark Zuckerberg and his Meta platforms.
According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, Ackman has committed an estimated $2 billion to Meta, which constitutes a substantial 10% of Pershing Square’s total portfolio. This investment signals a public endorsement of Zuckerberg’s strategic shift from the “Metaverse” to superintelligence, positioning Meta as a key player in the integration of artificial intelligence.
Pershing Square began acquiring Meta shares last November at an average price of $625 per share. Currently, Meta stock is trading around $670, providing Ackman with an early profit.

While Ackman’s investment reflects a bullish outlook, some market experts express concerns regarding Meta’s financial health. The company’s “Reality Labs” division has incurred losses totaling $83 billion since 2020, and just last month, Meta announced a reduction of 1,500 jobs, or 10%, from Reality Labs’ workforce.

Meta is now shifting its focus from virtual reality projects to AI-powered smart glasses, which Zuckerberg believes will become the primary means of integrating superintelligence into everyday life.
Neither Pershing Square nor Meta has responded to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
The parent company of Facebook and Instagram is entering a phase of unprecedented capital expenditure aimed at building the necessary data centers and talent pools for artificial intelligence. Meta’s fourth quarter and full-year 2025 report, released last month, indicates that the company anticipates spending between $115 billion and $135 billion in 2026, primarily to front-load its AI infrastructure.

Despite a decline in Meta’s stock over recent months, which remains lower year-over-year, investor concerns about the aggressive spending on artificial intelligence persist. However, in Pershing Square’s investor presentation, Ackman described the stock as “deeply discounted.”

Ackman is not solely betting on Meta; he is positioning himself as a significant stakeholder in the future of America’s tech economy. Pershing Square also holds a $2 billion stake in Uber and a $1.3 billion stake in Amazon.
Recently, Pershing Square announced its complete exit from its position in Hilton, marking a strategic shift away from traditional hospitality towards high-growth technology sectors.
