Billionaire Bill Ackman Wants to Be the Next Warren Buffett, and He Is Buying an AI Stock Up 855% in 10 Years (Hint: Not Nvidia)
In 1965, Warren Buffett took control of Berkshire Hathaway. He said that in hindsight it was a "doomed" textile mill "headed for extinction." But he saved the business, and laid the foundation for lasting growth, by shifting its focus to insurance. That brilliant decision created a steady inflow of investable capital in the form of insurance premiums, and Buffett used that cash to great effect over the years. Berkshire's market value has increased more than 5,500,000% since Buffett took control, for an average annual return of 20% over six decades. Buffett deserves much of the credit. He (along with the late Charlie Munger) engineered acquisitions, stock purchases, and share buybacks that ultimately turned Berkshire into a trillion-dollar business, one of only 11 in the world at this writing. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » While Buffett plans to step down as chief executive at Berkshire this year, billionaire Bill Ackman hopes to recreate his success with Howard Hughes Holdings. Ackman recently added another 900 million shares to his hedge fund, bringing his total ownership to 46.9%. He plans to turn Howard Hughes into a "modern-day version of Berkshire" by acquiring controlling interests in private and public companies. If Ackman succeeds, he could become the "next Warren Buffett." Here's the artificial intelligence stock he just bought. Bill Ackman just bought Amazon, an AI stock up 855% in the last decade Bill Ackman ranks among the 20 most successful hedge-fund managers as measured by net gains, according to LCH Investments. And Pershing Square outperformed the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) by 24 percentage points over the last five years. Those accomplishments make Ackman an excellent source of inspiration. Importantly, he purchased three stocks during the first quarter: Hertz Global, Uber Technologies, and Brookfield Corporation. Those trades were disclosed in a Form 13F filed last month, but Pershing more recently added Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), an artificial intelligence (AI) stock that rocketed 855% over the last decade. Pershing's chief investment officer Ryan Israel said: "We felt that the company would be able to work through any slowdown in the cloud computing division Amazon Web Services, and we did not judge that tariffs would have a material impact on the earnings in the retail business." Interestingly, Ackman has a very concentrated portfolio that included fewer than a dozen stocks as of the first quarter. Chipmaker Nvidia was not one of those stocks. Amazon has three major growth opportunities Amazon's market value exceeds $2 trillion today, but it could be much larger in a few years. The company has a strong presence in three growing industries, as detailed below: Not only does Amazon run the largest online marketplace in the U.S., but it also expects to gain market share this year. Domestic retail e-commerce sales are forecast to increase 8% annually through 2028, according to eMarketer. Amazon is the third-largest adtech company in the world and is rapidly taking share from industry leaders Google (part of Alphabet) and Meta Platforms. Retail ad spending is forecast to increase 17% annually in the U.S. through 2028, according to eMarketer. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the largest public cloud operator, as measured by infrastructure and platform services spending. Cloud computing sales are forecast to grow at 20% annually through 2030, according to Grand View Research. Importantly, retail advertising and cloud services revenues not only are growing faster than online retail sales, but also have higher margins. That will make Amazon more profitable over time. But the company is also developing about 1,000 generative AI applications that will improve productivity and efficiency across its retail business, from front-end tasks like customer service to back-end tasks like coding. AWS is ideally positioned to monetize AI. It already operates the largest public cloud as measured by revenue and customers, but it has also introduced new products at all three layers of the computing stack. That includes custom chips for AI training and inference at the infrastructure layer, AI-model development tools like Bedrock at the platform layer, and AI applications like Amazon Q at the software layer. That three-tiered strategy is paying off. CEO Andy Jassy recently told analysts: "Our AI business has a multibillion-dollar annual revenue run rate," and "continues to grow triple-digit year-over-year percentages." Most Wall Street analysts anticipate upside in Amazon stock in the next year Amazon shares soared 855% over the last decade as the company built strong positions in online retail, digital advertising, and cloud computing. And Wall Street is still predominantly bullish. Among the 71 analysts who follow the company, 96% rate the stock a buy, and the median target price is $235 per share, which implies 14% upside from the current share price of $205. Wall Street expects Amazon's earnings to increase at 10% annually through 2026. That makes the current price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 33 look somewhat expensive. But I think analysts are underestimating the company, as they have in the past -- Amazon topped the consensus earnings estimate by an average of 21% during the last six quarters. Long-term investors should feel comfortable buying a small position today. Should you invest $1,000 in Amazon right now? Before you buy stock in Amazon, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Amazon wasn't one of them.

2025 Canadian Screen Awards cap an uneasy edition by honouring Trump biopic The Apprentice
Kicking off with an obligatory Drake joke and ending with the Canadian entertainment industry sending a message straight to the White House by awarding the dark Donald Trump biopic The Apprentice the Best Motion Picture trophy, the 13th annual Canadian Screen Awards offered enough talking points during its live gala Sunday to fill a 51st state. Before the CBC decides to invent a random hockey game next year to air instead of the 2026 CSAs, The Globe and Mail presents the best, worst, and weirdest moments from Canada's equivalent of the Oscars, Emmys and a couple other award shows squeezed into a single two-hour evening. Comedian Lisa Gilroy possessed the necessary energy and commitment as the evening's host, if not quite the material. While she led with an enjoyably self-deprecating energy ('From the first Canadian Screen Awards hosted by comedy legend Martin short to me, Instagram holder Lisa Gilroy...'), a wan pre-taped sketch featuring actor Will Sasso failed to deliver the humour needed to get the audience immediately on her side. And as the evening stretched on, her gags oscillated between wobbly and desperate. I'll award bonus points for Gilroy's joke about Rumours star Cate Blanchett being in the house (with the camera instead cutting to a mannequin creepy enough to headline its own Guy Maddin movie). But the CSAs, especially in this 'Canada-is-not-for-sale' edition, needed bite. We got baby teeth. While the CSAs arrived in an era of acute geopolitical anxiety – even if no one onstage dared to utter the word 'tariff' – the Academy Of Canadian Cinema & Television voters sure did feel generous toward our U.S. neighbours when it came to doling out the statuettes. American Sebastian Stan took home the Best Performance in a Leading Role (Drama) CSA for his sly performance as Trump in The Apprentice (a Canada/Ireland/Denmark coproduction that was shot in Toronto), while Stan's costar and fellow Yank Jeremy Strong nabbed the Best Performance in a Supporting Role (Drama) in a separate CSAs ceremony Saturday. (Surprise: neither actors were in Toronto to accept.) Meanwhile, Citytv's Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent – a thoroughly Canadian production, albeit one that only exists because of its American mothership – won three CSAs, including Best Drama Series. And though Cate Blanchett is Australian – and excellent – it cannot help but feel strange to see the Rumours star triumph in the Best Performance in a Leading Role (Comedy) category over seven unambiguously Canadian actors. Accepting the award for Achievement in Directing, Universal Language's Matthew Rankin gave the best acceptance speech of the night. First addressing the audience in a succession of English, French, and Farsi, Rankin shared his appreciation for his dual Quebec and Manitoba backgrounds ('Keep Winnipeg weird') before moving on to underline his film's themes. 'Every day, there are new Berlin Walls shooting up all around us. And if our film stands for anything, it stands for how kindness can in fact be a radical gesture,' Rankin said. 'Art can do something that politics can't do. And so I want to salute everyone in this room for the work that you do. To work in culture is to choose community over solitude, and that's very precious.' Although The Apprentice producer Daniel Bekerman gets the unofficial best speech runner-up award, opening his remarks by addressing his (absent) director Ali Abbasi: 'Ali, I told you – you have to come to Canada if you want to find some guts in this industry.' The 2024 CSAs were coming off a horrendous edition that was entirely pre-taped (much of it in New York City), so I was willing to cut the CBC some slack last year when it came to its sparse and rather cheap-looking stage inside the network's Studio 40 in Toronto. But it appears as if the entire set-up was simply recycled for Sunday's show, including the back-breaking fold-up chairs that attendees were forced to sit on. It is no secret that things are tight over at the CBC, but perhaps producers can shake down some of the Dragons' Den benefactors next year to spruce things up. Despite the Blanchett fake-out, there were some genuinely big names in the house Sunday. Hey there to Kiefer Sutherland (appearing unannounced onstage after producers rolled a tribute to his father Donald), Jason Priestley, and a gracious Manny Jacinto (The Good Place, Star Wars: The Acolyte), who was presented with the Radius Award (given to a Canadian film or TV professional who is 'currently making an impact internationally'). Although how fun would it have been if Mike Myers, the most vocal homegrown entertainer out there fighting for Canada's good name, would have popped in, too? Perhaps he was busy filming another Mark Carney ad. While the Canadian academy says that it constantly reevaluates its nomination and voting process every year, this edition's winners – as well as the titles that walked away with little or no hardware – suggests a top-to-bottom overhaul is needed for 2026. How, for instance, did David Cronenberg's The Shrouds – easily the best Canadian film of the year – only leave the CSAs with two awards (for best sound mixing and sound editing)? Meanwhile, Rankin's wonderful comedy Universal Language, the favourite for Best Picture going into Sunday night, was usurped by the Trump drama The Apprentice, which is as big an upset as far as the CSAs typically go. (Although as noted above, Rankin won the best director CSA, one of the six awards that the film scored over the course of a weekend's worth of events.) And then Atom Egoyan's psychological drama Seven Veils, the Canadian filmmaker's strongest work in years, only snagged one award, for best original score. Different strokes for different folks, I suppose, but Cronenberg, Egoyan, and Rankin's latest works are beloved by critics and audiences alike, here and abroad. Giving the three of them something of a cold shoulder feels dispiriting and confounding. Hopefully the members of the now-empty writers rooms that staffed CTV's Children Ruin Everything and CBC's Run the Burbs can find the humour in the fact that their series won top awards despite their shows no longer existing. Run the Burbs star Andrew Phung won Best Lead Performer (Comedy), even though the sitcom aired its last episode more than a year ago, in April, 2024, after getting cancelled in its third season. And while Children Ruin Everything ended after four seasons due to what Bell Media described as creative and not financial reasons, it still felt awkward to see the show win four CSAs (including Best Comedy Series) three months after it aired its series finale.
