Ackman on Huang's Exit, Anthropic IPO Roadshow
Next story: Nvidia names Colette Kress interim CEO, Bloomberg reports
Bill Ackman leaves an AI investment event with praise for two executives, but a different investment position in each company: he says he doesn't own Nvidia and holds an indirect stake in Anthropic through a fund.
Speaking to Bloomberg's Isabelle Lee on the sidewalk, the Pershing Square founder sounds confident that Nvidia can withstand Jensen Huang's departure. He points to Apple as an example of a company thriving after losing an iconic chief executive, and expects Huang to do something great elsewhere.
That brief exchange has drawn roughly 58,000 views in eight hours, already far beyond Bloomberg Television's usual first-day audience for Shorts. It adds an investor's perspective to the channel's succession coverage, alongside a separate interview in which Dan Ives lowers his Nvidia price target while remaining bullish on the company.
On Anthropic, Ackman's enthusiasm comes with a distinction: admiring the presentation isn't the same as finishing the investment research. After attending the company's New York IPO roadshow event, he says his team is taking a close look. He acknowledges risks in the AI trade without claiming any special insight into them.
What caught his attention was CEO Dario Amodei's manner and priorities. "He seemed like a very thoughtful, measured CEO, and I liked how he talked about culture and talent," Ackman says, putting on his jacket as the interview continues.
His shorter answer on the investment homework is less expansive: "We got to do the work."
