Pershing Square Buys Amazon Stake After 31% Stock Price Drop

Published: May 23, 2025
Bill Ackman's investment firm, Pershing Square Capital Management, has recently invested in Amazon, describing it as a "fantastic franchise" and indicating they purchased shares at a favorable price following a significant drop of over 30% earlier this year. This decline was attributed to worries about the impact of the generative AI boom and increased tariffs, which reached up to 145% on imports from China. Ryan Israel, the firm's CIO, expressed confidence that Amazon could navigate any slowdown in its cloud business, predicting strong earnings growth.

Amazon, a leader in logistics ranked No. 1 in various categories, has not reported any notable decrease in consumer spending or price hikes due to the tariffs, according to CEO Andy Jassy. However, the company’s executives have acknowledged the potential challenges posed by the escalating tariffs.

From a transportation perspective, Amazon's position as the top logistics company highlights its crucial role in the supply chain. The firm's ability to adapt to economic shifts and tariff disturbances is critical for maintaining its lead and ensuring resilience in the face of fluctuating global trade dynamics. The monitoring of consumer behavior in response to tariffs is vital, as it can significantly influence operational strategies and demand forecasting for logistics companies. Ensuring agility in operations and a diversified supply chain can help mitigate risks associated with tariff impacts and other economic changes.
