MSFT
Microsoft Corp
37 super-investors hold MSFT worth a combined $16.65B. The largest position: AltaRock Partners at 16.8% of their portfolio. This quarter the cohort logged 3 buys and 8 sells on the name. Cohort Conviction Score: 59 — ranked #22 of 724 scored stocks. Conviction easing: 3 fewer super-investors hold it than in 2025Q4.
Why super-investors own MSFT
The most consequential 2026Q1 move is Bill Ackman initiating a position large enough to immediately become his second-largest holding at 15.3% of his portfolio ($2.1B), offsetting a notable wave of exits: the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust, Daniel Loeb, Stephen Mandel, and John Armitage all closed out entirely. That exodus, combined with trims from Chase Coleman, Chris Hohn, David Tepper, and AKO Capital, pushed cohort ownership from 21 to 18 funds — a multi-quarter low against the 8-quarter range shown. AltaRock Partners remains the highest-conviction holder at 16.8% ($691M), with Ackman and Triple Frond Partners close behind. Net directional signal: fading, despite Ackman's high-profile entry.
