Ignore the bears.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>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 &#8220;stupidly cheap,&#8221; with the potential to deliver outsized returns in a relatively short period.<\/p>\n<p>Ackman&#8217;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<p>&#8220;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,&#8221; Ackman wrote.<\/p>\n<p>President\u00a0Donald Trump\u00a0offered investors hope that an end to the war against Iran is drawing near. While the president added that &#8220;great progress has been made,&#8221; he also said that if a peace deal is\u00a0not reached &#8220;shortly&#8221;\u00a0and the Strait of Hormuz is not &#8220;immediately&#8221; reopened, the U.S. would attack key Iranian energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Pershing Square Holdings, the firm&#8217;s London-listed closed-end fund, is down 19% year to date as of last Tuesday, <a href=\"https:\/\/pershingsquareholdings.com\/performance\/nav\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">its website showed.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, Pershing Square filed to list on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker &#8220;PS,&#8221; a move that would give public investors direct exposure to the firm&#8217;s concentrated portfolio of large-cap investments. <\/p>\n<p>The listing would effectively turn Ackman&#8217;s investment vehicle into a permanent capital structure, echoing the model used by Warren Buffett&#8217;s Berkshire Hathaway.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ArticleBody-googlePreferredSourceContainer\" data-module=\"GooglePreferredSource\" data-id=\"RegularArticle-GooglePreferredSource-5\">Choose CNBC as your preferred source on Google and never miss a moment from the most trusted name in business news.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/03\/30\/bill-ackman-says-its-one-of-the-best-times-in-a-long-time-to-buy-quality-stocks.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bill Ackman, founder and CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management, attends the Milken Conference 2025 in Beverly Hills, California, U.S., May 6, 2025.
