Ackman Files for NYSE Listing of Pershing Square Capital Management
- Listing Plans: On October 21, 2025, Ackman announced on CNBC that Pershing Square Capital Management has filed for a listing on the NYSE under the symbol 'PS', aiming to raise between $5 billion and $10 billion, providing public investors with a stake in his investment platform.

- Long-Term Capital Strategy: Ackman emphasized that the permanent capital model allows for a long-term view during market volatility without the need to sell assets to meet redemptions, aligning closely with Buffett's investment philosophy aimed at achieving long-term compounding growth.
