  • Bill Ackman's Pershing Square USA IPO Opens 18% Below Price
    May 3, 2026, 6:12 PM EDT. Billionaire investor Bill Ackman's latest U.S.-listed closed-end fund, Pershing Square USA Ltd. (PSUS), stumbled on its April 29 debut, closing 18% below its $50 IPO price at $40.90. Despite an incentive granting one Pershing Square Inc. share for every five PSUS shares purchased, demand remained weak. Pershing Square USA is managed by Pershing Square Capital Management, owned by Pershing Square Inc. Ackman cited retail investor missteps as a factor in the weak open. The fund aims to mirror Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway with a concentrated portfolio including Brookfield Corp, Uber, Amazon, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms. Pershing Square Inc. shares rose 15% over April 29-30. The fund's focus on long-term holdings reflects Ackman's strategy rather than frequent trades.
