The filings reveal a strategic focus on high-growth and established names, with Uber Technologies Inc.

Notable Changes From The First Quarter
A notable highlight is Ackman's new investment in Amazon, with 5.82 million shares valued at $1.28 billion, making it a fresh addition to his top five.
This move aligns with his growing interest in Magnificent 7 stocks, as he also boosted positions in Alphabet Inc. Class A (NASDAQ:GOOGL) by 21%.
However, the portfolio saw a complete exit from Canadian Pacific Kansas City Ltd. (NYSE:CP), shedding all 14.8 million shares, a decision reflecting a strategic shift.
Other changes include modest increases in Hilton Worldwide Holdings (NYSE:HLT) and Hertz Global Holdings (NASDAQ:HTZ), though the latter remains a small 0.8% stake.
Portfolio Value Increases By Nearly $1.8 Billion In Q2
The second quarter filings maintain the portfolio's 11 holdings, unchanged from the first quarter, with a total value rise of about $1.799 billion.
Uber remains the cornerstone, holding steady at 30.3 million shares, while Brookfield and Restaurant Brands also saw minor share adjustments. This concentration underscores Ackman's confidence in these sectors, despite a volatile market.
