Warren Buffett transformed Berkshire Hathaway into a trillion-dollar company by diversifying into insurance and acquiring businesses. Billionaire Bill Ackman aims to replicate this success with Howard Hughes Holdings, investing $1.4 billion in the stock. Ackman plans to turn Howard Hughes into a modern-day Berkshire Hathaway by purchasing controlling interests in quality companies.

Ackman’s hedge fund, Pershing Square Capital, outperformed the S&P 500 by nearly 30% over the last five years. He holds 33% of his fund in Uber Technologies and Google-parent Alphabet. Uber, with 19% of Ackman’s portfolio, leads in mobility and food delivery services, leveraging its scale and data for growth and advertising revenue.

Alphabet, comprising 14% of Ackman’s portfolio, dominates the ad tech market with Google Search and YouTube. The company faces antitrust lawsuits but remains a leader in AI tools and cloud services. Analysts forecast a 7% annual earnings increase through 2026, making Alphabet’s current valuation of 18 times earnings reasonable for investors.
