Why It Matters: As of its fourth quarter filings, the hedge fund had 3,533 holdings with a total value of $67.553 billion as per its 13F filings. 
Simons in an old conversation had revealed the key to Renaissance Technologies&#8217; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38431687/jim-simons-a-math-professor-became-one-of-the-most-successful-investors-of-all-time-now-he-shares-hi">staggering returns</a>.
&#8220;My algorithm has always been you get smart people together. You give them a lot of freedom,&#8221; Simons explained in a <a href="https://alphaarchitect.com/2015/06/james-simons-transcript-quantitative-finance-and-building-a-firm/">transcript</a> of his old interview. 
His words offer a glimpse into the inner workings of the famously secretive and astoundingly successful Medallion Fund. Managed exclusively for Renaissance employees, the fund has achieved near-mythical status in the finance world due to its unprecedented performance. This exclusivity, coupled with its consistent outperformance, has fueled both intrigue and admiration from investors worldwide.
Simons&#8217; final ingredient for building a multi-billion dollar empire is to ensure everyone has a vested interest. &#8220;Make everyone partners,&#8221; he advised. In short, Simons&#8217; Renaissance Technologies model rests on four pillars: brilliant minds, a collaborative environment, cutting-edge infrastructure, and shared ownership.

Jim Simons' Renaissance Technologies Makes AI Moves: Sells Big Tech, Buys Chinese Stocks, Robinhood In Q4

Billionaire investor&nbsp;Bill Ackman&nbsp;has ramped up his stake in&nbsp;Nike&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) by 15%, while simultaneously cutting back his investment in&nbsp;Chipotle Mexican Grill&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>) by 14%, as per the recent 13F regulatory filing.
What Happened: Ackman&#8217;s firm,&nbsp;Pershing Square Capital Management, now holds&nbsp;18.8 million shares in Nike&nbsp;and 24.7 million shares in&nbsp;Chipotle. Pershing Square has been a Chipotle shareholder since 2016.
Ackman, known for his active involvement in companies like&nbsp;Canadian Pacific Kansas City&nbsp;and&nbsp;Air Products and Chemicals, has been relatively quiet in recent years. Nonetheless, his investment decisions continue to draw interest.
Over time, Pershing Square has been steadily decreasing&nbsp;its investment in Chipotle, one&nbsp;of its major success stories in recent years. As of June 30, the firm&nbsp;owned 28.8 million Chipotle shares.
The regulatory document 13F filing, also disclosed that Pershing Square trimmed its stake in&nbsp;Hilton Worldwide Holdings&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HLT#NYSE">HLT</a>)&nbsp;by 26% to 5.4 million&nbsp;shares. 
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42635629/bill-ackmans-advice-stay-away-from-shorting-stocks-avoid-commodity-sensitive-industries-and-you-do-great">Bill Ackman&#8217;s Advice: &#8216;Stay Away From Shorting Stocks, Avoid Commodity-Sensitive Industries, And You Do Great&#8217;</a>
The firm&#8217;s largest holding is investment company&nbsp;Brookfield,&nbsp;with roughly 35 million shares.
Why It Matters: This portfolio adjustment comes as Ackman&#8217;s firm continues to navigate the fluctuating market conditions. The decision to increase the stake in Nike could be seen as a vote of confidence in the sportswear giant&#8217;s growth prospects. 
On the other hand, the reduction in Chipotle and Hilton stakes might suggest a cautious approach towards the hospitality sector, which has been hit hard by the pandemic. 
These moves reflect Ackman&#8217;s strategy of balancing growth potential with risk management in his investment decisions.

Super Bowl Commercials 2025: Complete List of Super Bowl LIX Ads And Companies Behind Them

The Philadelphia Eagles&#8217; 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs at Super Bowl LIX marked not just a shift in NFL power dynamics but also represented another test of the event&#8217;s advertising and viewership supremacy, as industry observers await official audience numbers.
What Happened: Last month, Brian Steinberg of Variety.com noted that Nielsen&#8216;s Big Data + Panel now officially measures total audiences. Super Bowl LVIII drew 123.7 million viewers, ranking as the second most-watched television program in U.S. history after the 1969 moon landing. Even with a 10% boost to 136.7 million, that&#8217;s still far from the U.S. population of 335 million, <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/changes-to-nielsens-out-of-home-measurements-could-result-in-biggest-super-bowl-tv-audience-ever">according</a> to NBC Sports.
This year&#8217;s broadcast strategy included a streaming component through Fox&#8217;s Tubi platform. The Spanish-language rights were shared between Fox Deportes and Telemundo in an arrangement <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/05/38742147/foxs-growth-prospects-competitive-valuation-stand-out-against-disney-paramount-analyst-sees">aimed at maximizing reach</a>.
The event maintained its celebrity appeal, with notable attendees including Taylor Swift and President Donald Trump, who made history as the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl.

Why It Matters: Fox Sports sold out its premium advertising inventory months before the game, with some spots commanding $8 million for 30 seconds, according to Fox Sports Executive Vice President Mark Evans. The high-stakes advertising playground attracted major tech companies and traditional brands alike, with artificial intelligence <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43583058/super-bowl-ads-go-all-in-on-ai-stars-and-8m-price-tags-elon-musk-shared-this-advert-with-his-followers">emerging as a dominant theme</a>.
Notable advertisers included Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Google, which faced scrutiny for claims in its Gemini AI ad, Salesforce Inc.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) with a star-studded spot featuring Chris Pratt and Chris Hemsworth.

Eagles Fly Over Chiefs 40-22 As Super Bowl LIX Tests Potential 137 Million Viewership For Fox

Super Bowl Sunday has arrived, bringing with it a dazzling array of celebrity-packed commercials. Fox , the broadcaster of the game, reportedly announced in November that all ad slots were sold out, with over 10 spots costing advertisers $8 million each.
What Happened: This year&#8217;s commercials cover a wide range of themes, from smart glasses to pizza rolls, with a significant focus on artificial intelligence. Mark Evans, executive vice president of sales for Fox Sports, told The Hollywood Reporter that AI-themed creative content is expected, reflecting its growing presence in businesses, according to a <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/business/super-bowl-2025-commercials-rcna191062">report</a> from NBC News.
Among the notable ads, Google, the search subsidiary for Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) faced scrutiny for its original Gemini ad, which inaccurately claimed Gouda cheese accounts for &#8220;50 to 60 percent of the world&#8217;s cheese consumption.&#8221; The ad was re-edited following feedback from the Wisconsin Cheese Mart owner.

Other standout commercials include Salesforce Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) featuring Matthew McConaughey, Meta with Chris Pratt and Chris Hemsworth.

 and a humorous spot from Little Caesars starring Eugene Levy. The Super Bowl ads continue to captivate audiences with creativity and star power.
Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) ran an advertisement featuring Chris Pratt, Chris Hemsworth and Kris Jenner which referenced the banana duct-taped to a wall art piece <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42253045/62m-duct-taped-banana-becomes-a-snack-as-crypto-mogul-justin-sun-asserts-this-conceptual-artwork-can-be-assembled-and-disassembled-anywhere">that sold for millions</a>.

In a surprising move, Nike Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) returned to Super Bowl advertising after a 27-year hiatus, aiming to boost its declining sales.

Super Bowl Ads Go All-In on AI, Stars, and $8M Price Tags: Elon Musk Shared This Advert With His Followers

Nike Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) has decided to return to Super Bowl advertising after a 27-year break, in an effort to revive its dwindling sales.
What Happened: The news of Nike&#8217;s return was disclosed by JPMorgan analysts in a research note, following a meeting with Nike&#8217;s CEO and CFO. The company has yet to make a public statement on the matter.
This decision comes at a critical time&nbsp;for Nike, which has been&nbsp;battling falling sales. The company is taking a high-stakes risk, as a 30-second Super Bowl ad spot can cost more than $8 million.
As per the report <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nike-returns-super-bowl-commercial-reverse-sales-slump-2025-2">by </a>Insider, newly appointed CEO, Elliott Hill, who returned to the company&nbsp;in October after a four-year&nbsp;hiatus, had presented a recovery plan in December. Hill has been critical of some of Nike&#8217;s previous strategies, such as heavy discounting and neglecting relationships with wholesalers.
The sportswear behemoth is also trying to reignite interest in its&nbsp;iconic sneaker brands like Jordans&nbsp;and Air Force 1s by limiting supply to stimulate demand.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/options/25/02/43474130/nikes-options-frenzy-what-you-need-to-know">Nike&#8217;s Options Frenzy: What You Need to Know</a>
Over the past year, Nike&#8217;s shares have dropped approximately 30%, and the company reported an 8% year-over-year decrease in revenue to $12.4 billion for the quarter ending November 30.
In recent months, Nike has restructured its marketing department, promoting several company veterans,&nbsp;including former vice president Nicole&nbsp;Hubbard Graham, who was appointed as marketing chief.
The company seems to be leveraging significant cultural events to rejuvenate its brand, as seen by a new ad launched during the Grammy Awards this month, celebrating the 40-year legacy of its Jordan Brand.
Why It Matters: Nike&#8217;s return to Super Bowl advertising signifies a major shift in its marketing strategy. This move could potentially attract a larger audience and boost sales, which is crucial for the company given its recent financial performance. 
However, the high cost of Super Bowl advertising also adds a significant risk to this strategy. 
The success of this move will largely depend on how effectively the company can leverage this platform to connect with its target audience and rekindle interest in its products.

&#8220;Management highlighted innovation remains a key priority and that they are comfortable with the team in place and the speed at which they are working&#8230; By category, the company spoke to prioritizing running (given emerging competitive threats), followed by football, basketball, training and sportswear,&#8221; the analyst said.
Hill and company executives also said that they plan to increase marketing expenses to around 10% of sales. Executives also plan to turn around the company&#8217;s culture, noting that previous management focused too much on technology rather than sports.
Boss noted that management commentary emphasized that plans are long-term in nature. Nike plans to liquidate inventory through price decreases, which will compress margins in the short term. Later, the company plans to transition its business model to prioritize full-price items instead of discounts.
The analyst also noted other geographic headwinds.
&#8220;&#8230;we see continued revenue pressure into 1H26 in particular associated with the "annualization" of strategic actions across different geographies (= JPMe FY26 revenues -2.4% Y/Y &lt; Street +1.7% Y/Y), with N. America and Greater China (= combined 56% of sales mix) in our view the furthest behind on rebalancing the product portfolio and repositioning the Nike Digital segment to full price,&#8221; Boss said.
