Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKA) (NYSE: BRKB) ist eine erstaunlich vielfältige Industriekonzerne. Aufgrund seiner großen Versicherungsbetriebe wird es jedoch als Finanzunternehmen eingestuft. Dies ist ein wichtiger Aspekt, den man berücksichtigen sollte, wenn man sich das fast 400 Milliarden Dollar an Cash auf dem Konzerns Konten ansieht. Es handelt sich um eine wichtige Sicherheitsventile und bietet Feuerkraft für Investitionen, wenn der richtige Zeitpunkt gekommen ist.

Legendary investor Bill Ackman is taking a new closed-end fund public today at an initial public offering price of $50 a share.

The fund is called Pershing Square USA, and Ackman, the CEO of hedge fund Pershing Square Holdings, initially hoped to raise between $5 billion and $10 billion for it through the offering. The ticker for the new fund will be PSUS. At the moment, it looks like the IPO will attract about $5 billion.

Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue »

Ackman is also taking his asset management firm public. That firm, Pershing Square Inc., will manage the PSUS fund as well as Pershing Square Holdings, which trades in the United Kingdom, and Howard Hughes Holdings (NYSE: HHH). The management firm will trade under the ticker PS.

To attract more investors to the PSUS IPO, Ackman is offering one free share of Pershing Square Inc. for every five PSUS shares purchased today.

It's not yet clear exactly what PSUS will invest in. According to the prospectus the company filed with the Securities and Exchange, the Pershing Square USA fund will invest in "large minority stakes in high-quality, predominantly North American-listed, large-capitalization growth companies at attractive valuations during periods in which we believe they have underperformed their potential and/or when we believe they are undervalued."

That's very similar to what Pershing Square Holdings invests in now. It holds large stakes in Google parent company Alphabet(NASDAQ: GOOGL), Fannie Mae(OTC: FNMA), Freddie Mac(OTC: FMCC), Brookfield(NYSE: BN), Uber Technologies(NYSE: UBER), Amazon(NASDAQ: AMZN), and Meta Platforms(NASDAQ: META) , among other companies.

Alphabet is the top holding in all Pershing Square-related funds.

The new fund may also make small investments in alternative assets, such as private credit and interest rates.

Going public avoids investor redemptions

Taking a fund public is a way to avoid redemptions by investors. Instead of demanding their money back at the net asset value, as open-end fund investors are entitled to do, investors in PSUS will have to sell their shares at the market price to exit the investment, as with any other stock.Image source: Getty Images.

It's thought that Ackman is attempting to build a holding company similar to Berkshire Hathaway(NYSE: BRKB) by listing it publicly and, of course, focusing on companies that are underperforming their potential or are undervalued, exactly the kind of long-term value investing that made former Berkshire CEO Warren Buffett rich and famous.

Story Continues

"Our long-term goal for Pershing Square Inc. is to build one of the most valuable companies in the world by generating one of the best long-term performance records of any investor ever," Ackman wrote in a letter to investors.

Attaining Buffett's stature in the investment community won't be easy for Ackman, however. Earlier in his career, he was known as an activist short-seller. That included an ugly, five-year battle against supplement maker Herbalife, which Ackman accused of being a pyramid scheme. In the end, that short position resulted in huge losses for Pershing Square.

Ackman has since exited the short-selling business and says he's now focused on long-term growth and value creation in his portfolios.

Ackman is also trying to attract retail investors to the IPO. He reduced the minimum purchase order from $5,000 to $250 and is partnering with retail brokerages to tap their user bases. We'll find out this week how well that strategy worked.

As with all IPOs, it's wise to see what the share price does in the days and weeks following the offering before diving in. About half of all IPOs pop on the first day, only to trade lower in the days that follow.

Okay, here’s a 600-word summary of the text, followed by a German translation:

Summary (600 words max)

This article from Simply Wall St analyzes Danone’s stock valuation, offering multiple perspectives to determine if the current share price of €69.24 represents fair value. The core argument is that Danone appears undervalued based on several valuation methods.

Short-Term Performance & Context: Danone’s recent performance is mixed. Over the last 7 days, it rose 2.1%, but the 30-day return was a decline of 1.0%, and the year-to-date return is a significant drop of 8.9%. This volatility is driven by investor scrutiny of Danone's position within the European consumer staples sector and ongoing strategic adjustments – portfolio and brand changes – that could impact its long-term outlook. The article highlights that this attention is focused on risk assessment and resilience.

DCF Analysis – The Primary Undervaluation Argument: The most compelling argument for undervaluation comes from a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis. Simply Wall St’s model forecasts free cash flow of €3.55 billion by 2030, based on analyst projections. Discounting these future cash flows back to the present, the model arrives at an intrinsic value of €131.08 per share – significantly higher than the current market price. Based on this analysis, Danone is estimated to be 47.2% undervalued. The model relies on analyst inputs for nearer years and extrapolates from there for longer-term forecasts.

P/E Ratio Analysis – Supporting Undervaluation: A Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio analysis also supports the undervaluation. Danone currently trades at a P/E ratio of 24.39x, which is considerably higher than the average for the Food industry (15.65x) and even the peer group of similar companies (11.77x). Simply Wall St’s “Fair Ratio” estimate for Danone is 26.26x, suggesting the shares are slightly undervalued compared to this.

The Importance of Narrative & Community: The article emphasizes that simple comparisons like P/E ratios can be misleading. Simply Wall St's “Community” page introduces the concept of narratives. Investors can contribute their own forecasts, considering factors such as yogurt category momentum, emerging market expansion, or concerns about legacy dairy reliance. These narratives, dynamically updated with new information and earnings, are then used to calculate a fair value. This approach recognizes that different investors will have different perspectives and risk tolerances.

Conclusion & Call to Action: Ultimately, the article concludes that Danone appears undervalued based on both DCF and P/E analysis. It encourages readers to track the stock’s performance in their watchlist and to explore 248 more undervalued stocks. The article stresses the importance of considering multiple viewpoints and continually updating one’s assessment based on new information. Finally, it notes that Simply Wall St doesn’t have a position in any stocks discussed and that the analysis is based on historical data and analyst forecasts.

German Translation (approx. 600 words)

Zusammenfassung (max. 600 Wörter)

Dieser Artikel von Simply Wall St analysiert die Bewertung der Danone-Aktie und bietet mehrere Perspektiven, um festzustellen, ob der aktuelle Aktienkurs von 69,24 € einen fairen Wert darstellt. Das zugrunde liegende Argument ist, dass Danone aufgrund verschiedener Bewertungsmethoden unterbewertet ist.

Kurzfristige Performance & Kontext: Die jüngste Performance von Danone ist gemischt. In den letzten 7 Tagen stieg sie um 2,1 %, aber der 30-Tage-Umsatz betrug einen Rückgang von 1,0 %, und der Jahresgewinn bis heute beträgt einen deutlichen Rückgang von 8,9 %. Diese Volatilität wird durch die Aufmerksamkeit der Investoren gegenüber Danones Position im europäischen Konsumgütersektor und die laufenden strategischen Anpassungen – Portfolio- und Markenänderungen – angetrieben, die ihre langfristige Perspektive beeinflussen könnten. Der Artikel hebt hervor, dass diese Aufmerksamkeit auf Risikobewertung und Widerstandsfähigkeit abzielt.

DCF-Analyse – Das Hauptargument für Unterbewertung: Das überzeugendste Argument für eine Unterbewertung kommt aus einer Discounted Cash Flow (DCF)-Analyse. Simply Wall St’s Modell prognostiziert einen freien Cashflow von 3,55 Milliarden € im Jahr 2030, basierend auf Analystenprognosen. Die Diskontierung dieser zukünftigen Cashflows auf den heutigen Tag ergibt einen intrinsischen Wert von 131,08 € pro Aktie – deutlich höher als der aktuelle Marktpreis. Basierend auf dieser Analyse wird Danone auf geschätzt 47,2 % unterbewertet. Das Modell stützt sich auf Analysteneingaben für näher gelegene Jahre und extrapoliert von dort aus für längere Zeiträume.

P/E-Ratio-Analyse – Ergänzung der Unterbewertung: Eine Price-to-Earnings (P/E)-Ratio-Analyse unterstützt ebenfalls die Unterbewertung. Danone handelt derzeit mit einem P/E-Verhältnis von 24,39x, was deutlich höher ist als der Durchschnitt für die Lebensmittelindustrie (15,65x) und sogar für die Gruppe von ähnlichen Unternehmen (11,77x). Simply Wall St’s „Fair Ratio“-Schätzung für Danone beträgt 26,26x, was darauf hindeutet, dass die Aktien im Vergleich dazu leicht unterbewertet sind.

Die Bedeutung der Erzählung & Community: Der Artikel betont, dass einfache Vergleiche wie P/E-Verhältnisse irreführend sein können. Simply Wall St’s „Community“-Seite führt das Konzept der Erzählungen ein. Investoren können ihre eigenen Prognosen erstellen und dabei Faktoren wie den Schwung der Joghurtkategorie, die Expansion in Schwellenmärkten oder Bedenken hinsichtlich der Abhängigkeit von Milchprodukten berücksichtigen. Diese Erzählungen, die dynamisch mit neuen Informationen und Erträgen aktualisiert werden, werden dann verwendet, um einen fairen Wert zu berechnen. Dieser Ansatz erkennt an, dass unterschiedliche Investoren unterschiedliche Perspektiven und Risikobereitschaften haben.

Fazit & Handlungsaufforderung: Letztendlich kommt der Artikel zu dem Schluss, dass Danone aufgrund von DCF- und P/E-Analysen unterbewertet ist. Er ermutigt die Leser, die Aktienperformance in ihrer Watchlist zu verfolgen und 248 weitere unterbewertete Aktien zu erkunden. Der Artikel betont die Bedeutung, mehrere Perspektiven zu berücksichtigen und seine Einschätzung kontinuierlich auf der Grundlage neuer Informationen zu aktualisieren. Schließlich weist er darauf hin, dass Simply Wall St keine Position in den diskutierten Aktien hat und dass die Analyse auf historischen Daten und Analystenprognosen basiert.

Recent performance snapshot for Danone (ENXTPA:BN)

Danone (ENXTPA:BN) has drawn investor attention after a weak share price patch, with the stock showing negative returns over the past week, month and past 3 months despite positive recent revenue and net income growth.

See our latest analysis for Danone.

That recent weak patch comes after a softer year-to-date share price return of a 10.15% decline. Longer term total shareholder returns over three and five years of 32.75% and 37.25% suggest momentum has cooled rather than collapsed.

If Danone has you thinking about where else defensive growth and income ideas might be hiding, this could be a good moment to scan for 95 top founder-led companies

So with Danone’s short term share price weakness set against its recent revenue and net income growth, and a hint of discount to some analyst targets, are you looking at a genuine value opportunity or a market already pricing in future growth?

Most Popular Narrative: 14.3% Undervalued

Danone’s fair value in the most widely followed narrative sits at €79.68 versus a last close of €68.32, so the story focuses on a meaningful valuation gap.

Strategic investments and recent acquisitions (Kate Farms, The Akkermansia Company) strengthen Danone's leadership in plant-based, gut health, and medical nutrition, reinforcing differentiation and supporting both premiumization (higher revenue per unit sold) and improved long-term margin potential.

Read the complete narrative.

Want to see what kind of revenue runway and margin lift would justify that value gap and a premium earnings multiple, and how long that setup is expected to hold?

Result: Fair Value of €79.68 (UNDERVALUED)

Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts.

However, you still need to keep an eye on Danone’s reliance on core dairy and water, as well as on how smoothly recent acquisitions are integrated.

Find out about the key risks to this Danone narrative.

Press release – Paris, March 24, 2026, 9:15pm CET

Danone and Arcor strengthen their strategic alliance to unlock new dairy opportunities in Argentina

Danone and Arcor today announce a new chapter in their strategic alliance in Argentina, creating a joint venture focused on the local dairy market. The new partnership will combine:

Danone’s dairy business in Argentina (Danone Argentina SA), with thirty years presence in Argentina, deeply rooted in families’ daily lives; Mastellone Hermanos SA, a company with deep heritage in Argentina’s dairy market, spanning almost a century; Logistica La Serenísima, their common logistics subsidiary.

Building on the pair’s over two-decade long partnership, this alliance will create an integrated business, leveraging the strengths and scale of both companies to deliver greater and faster innovation, enhanced operational excellence and increased commercial reach across the category, for the benefit of all Argentinian consumers.

The joint venture will also open new growth opportunities in the dairy market through its eleven production plants located in the region, where, among other products, milk, dulce de leche, cheeses, butters, creams, yogurts, and desserts are produced.

As a consequence of this transaction, Danone will hold equal control of the joint venture with Arcor, and post-closing, it will be reflected within ‘equity-accounted companies’ in Danone’s financial statements based on the 50% shareholding.

Antoine de Saint-Affrique, CEO of Danone said: “With this operation, we are delighted to take our long-term partnership with the Arcor group to the next level. This underlines our commitment to the Argentinian market and Latin America. Combining our assets will create a powerful growth platform with more opportunities for innovation, operational efficiency and greater reach. It’s all about bringing healthy, quality dairy brands to more consumers in Argentina now and in the future”.

Alfredo Pagani, President of Arcor commented: “The creation of this dairy joint venture with Danone represents a decisive step toward enhancing the commercial, operational, and management capabilities of both companies. This alliance will accelerate growth through an integrated strategy focused on the development of high value‑added products. For Arcor, this is a strategic project that reaffirms our commitment to the country and strengthens our value proposition in the consumer food products market.”

The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval.
