Bill Ackman’s hedge fund, Pershing Square, is buying Netflix again and also taking new positions in five other companies, according to recent disclosures. Market coverage notes that Netflix had previously been a focus for Ackman, including an earlier exit from a stake, which is now reversed by the new purchase.
The outlets describe the transactions as part of Pershing Square’s recent portfolio activity, with Netflix listed among the holdings added within the last six months. Quartz reports that the hedge fund’s new positions include Visa, Mastercard, S&P Global, Intercontinental Exchange, and Alcon. Yahoo Finance similarly reports that Pershing Square buys Netflix plus five other stocks, framing the move as part of its 2026 purchases.
While the outlets differ in emphasis—some highlight Ackman’s history with Netflix, others focus on the list of new holdings—the core point across coverage is that Pershing Square is expanding its portfolio with Netflix and these specific additional companies, as reflected in the latest reported positions.
