Pershing Square Holdings reported 10.2% NAV performance in 2024, with 8.3% total shareholder return reflecting a widening discount to NAV. Day One Investors since 2004 achieved 15.9% compound annual NAV returns (2,172% cumulative) versus 10.0% for the S&P 500 (654% cumulative). The firm attributes strong recent performance to permanent capital structure adopted in 2017, which enabled 22.2% compound annual returns over the last seven years. Ackman highlighted competitive advantages from permanent capital, deep due diligence, and ability to withstand market volatility. New positions include Uber (viewed as benefiting from autonomous vehicle partnerships) and Brookfield Corporation. The firm is pursuing Howard Hughes Holdings as a diversified holding company to reduce its cost of capital, which would reduce PSH management fees by approximately 11%. SPARC continues seeking acquisition targets for high-quality growth companies.
