Billionaire investor Bill Ackman said the current market dislocation has created one of the most attractive entry points for high-quality companies in years, urging investors to look past macro fears and lean into what he sees as deeply discounted opportunities.<\/p>\n

“Some of the highest quality businesses in the world are trading at extremely cheap prices,” Ackman wrote in a post on X late Sunday. “One of the best times in a long time to buy quality. Ignore the bears.”<\/p>\n

The founder of Pershing Square Capital Management pointed to what he described as a highly asymmetric setup in select names, singling out U.S. mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as “stupidly cheap,” with the potential to deliver outsized returns in a relatively short period.<\/p>\n

Ackman’s bullish stance comes at a time when markets have been rattled by rising energy prices, sticky inflation concerns and shifting expectations around Federal Reserve policy. The recent bout of volatility has pushed valuations lower across a range of sectors, even as economic uncertainty continues to cloud the outlook.<\/p>\n

“One of the most one-sided wars in history that will end well for the U.S. and the world. And we have the potential for a large peace dividend,” Ackman wrote.<\/p>\n

President\u00a0Donald Trump\u00a0offered investors hope that an end to the war against Iran is drawing near. While the president added that “great progress has been made,” he also said that if a peace deal is\u00a0not reached “shortly”\u00a0and the Strait of Hormuz is not “immediately” reopened, the U.S. would attack key Iranian energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Pershing Square Holdings, the firm’s London-listed closed-end fund, is down 19% year to date as of last Tuesday, its website showed.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Pershing Square filed to list on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker “PS,” a move that would give public investors direct exposure to the firm’s concentrated portfolio of large-cap investments. <\/p>\n

The listing would effectively turn Ackman’s investment vehicle into a permanent capital structure, echoing the model used by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
